Section 8. Central Station Reporting Formats

8-3

The Partial Extended format is a combination of both the Standard and Extended formats. It transmits

in Pulse a standard message for alarm conditions and an extended message for restores and other

system conditions. To report a standard message, enter a numerical digit (0 - 9) in the first of the 2-

digit reporting code; for an extended message, enter a hexadecimal digit (B - F) in the first of the 2-digit

reporting code. The extended messages are used whenever a zone or user identification is needed

(bypasses, restores, openings/closings, etc.). It can also transmit with and without parity. Examples

follow.

3x1 Stand. W/O PARITY (Alarm) 3x1 Part. Ext. W/O PARITY (Restore)

123 3 (1st round) 123 E (1st round) 123 E (2nd round)

123 3 (2nd round) EEE 1 (3rd round) EEE 1 (4th round)

123 3 (resulting data) Burglary 123 E1 (resulting data) Burglary

3x2 or 4x2

The 3x2 or 4x2 Reporting Format:

AAA EZ or AAAA EZ

where:

AAAA = Three- or four-digit account number (Submode 1, Questions 06–09)

E = Single-digit event code; it is the first of the 2 programmable reporting code digits

Z = Zone or user identifier; it is the second of the 2 programmable reporting code digits

This format is also in Pulse and is an alternative to the Extended format; it also transmits a 2-digit

reporting code. Its specific meaning is a 3- or 4-digit account number followed by a 2-digit alarm code. It

can be transmitted with parity (1 round of data) or without parity (2 rounds of data).

There are 15 possible event codes, each of which can have up to 15 different zone identifiers. It is

different from the extended format in the way it transmits. This is illustrated in the examples below:

3x2 w/o PARITY 3x2 w/PARITY

123 31 (1st round) 123 31 5 (1st round)

123 31 (2nd round) 123 31 (resulting data) Burglary Zone 1

123 31 (resulting data) Burglary Zone 1

4x2 w/o PARITY 4x2 w/PARITY

1234 31 (1st round) 1234 31 1 (1st round)

1234 31 (2nd round) 1234 31 (resulting data) Burglary Zone 1

1234 31 (resulting data) Burglary Zone 1

FBII Superfast (4x3x1)

The FBII Superfast Reporting Format: AAAA AZZ S, where:

AAAA = Four-digit account number (Submode 1, Questions 06–09)

A = Alarm type; it is the first of the 2 programmable reporting code digits

ZZ = Zone or user identifier; it is the second of the 2 programmable reporting code digits

S = Signal Type; it is the first of the 2 programmable reporting code digits

This format is commonly known as 4x3x1. A total of 9 digits (including the parity digit) are sent in

DTMF. It enables reporting of up to 256 (00–FF) unique zone or user identifiers instead of the 15

possible identifiers of most other pulse formats. In addition, it transmits at a much greater speed than
