DSC PC1150, Instruction Manual

Radionics Format

For conventional Radionics 

 format, the communications mode should be set on either Radionics rounds [B]

or Radionics parity 

 The extended version of the Radionics format is normally used. Use the following

guidelines to configure the PC1 150 for Radionics format:

The customer account code must be only 3 digits with a zero making up the 4th digit. For example, enter

1230 to program the account code as 123.

The zone alarm reporting codes must all be single digit numeric codes with no extended second round being
sent; for example, Zone 1 = 

 Zone 2 = 20, and so on. Zero as the second digit prevents the control panel

from sending an extended round.

All non-alarm reporting codes must be set up to send an extended second round. The first digit of the reporting
code is used to identify the event, while the second or extended digit is used to associate the event with a

particular item. For example, a reporting code of E3 means “restore zone 3”; E = restore, 3 = zone 3.

The following is a list of first digit identifiers that should be used with the Radionics format:

l 

Restorals “E”. For example, E3 = “restore zone 3”

l 

Openings “B”. For example, 

 = opening by user 2

 “C”. For example, C4 = closing by user 4

*Troubles 

 For example,   = trouble from source 5

l 

Miscellaneous “D”. For example, 

 = partial closing
