Part No. 40-7794A Rev. 3 9/20/2018
1. Summary
This document describes the installation procedure for the AES 7794A IntelliPro Fire
module used with the AES 7707 or 7177 Subscriber in commercial Fire Alarm Control
Panel (FACP) installations.
Installed between the FACP and AES 7707 or 7177 Subscriber, the 7794A intercepts
alarm panel messages and sends them to the monitoring station via the AES 7707 or
7177 Fire Subscriber Unit.
Important! The 7794A IntelliPro and Subscriber must be connected to the FACP
within the same room and in no more than 20 feet of conduit.
1.1 Basic Functions
The 7794A is a dialer capture module with monitoring capabilities, as well as full
emulation of the POTS telephone line for incoming data sent from the FACP. The
7794A can intercept the FACP phone line connection if the intercept number matches
the number being dialed.
1.2 User Interface
The 7794A does not use configuration jumper settings and is programmed using a web
browser interface through the AES Model 7707 or 7177 Fire Subscriber. Refer to the
7707 Installation Manual, AES P/N 40-7707 or 7177 Installation Manual, AES P/N
40-7177.
1.3 System Knowledge Requirements
This document assumes that the user knows how to set the AES subscriber unit
account number, cipher, and other configuration settings as well as how to operate the
AES MultiNet software environment including IPCtrl and automation.
Fire Alarm Control Panel Telco Interface Requirements
Note: The 7794A is not compatible with Fire Alarm Control Panels that test both
digital communicator telephone lines at the same time.
With the 7794A IntelliPro used as the sole path communicator, only one telephone line
connection to the FACP is required. Parallel connect both telephone lines together, if
line 2 cannot be disabled.
Note: The 7794A can provide voltage to both telephone line connections if they are
connected together in parallel with TIP to TIP and RING to RING as shown in Figure
2 on page 11 and Figure 4 on page 12.

Part No. 40-7794A Rev. 3 9/20/2018
1.4 Safety Considerations
As part of the 7794A installation, the following safety considerations should be kept in
mind:
Install all equipment in accordance with the National Electric Code, National
Fire Protection Association NFPA 70, NFPA 72, and local building codes.
Test this system periodically for proper operation. AES assumes no
responsibility for this equipment's failure to operate. AES's sole responsibility
is to repair or replace any AES device found to be defective during the
warranty period.
Avoid dropping or other physical impact which could damage the card or card
components.

4. Place hex nuts over the washer on the standoffs to secure the board in the four
places as shown below. Do not overtighten hex nuts.
For information on connecting the fire alarm control panel PSTN wiring, refer to
either the Primary Communication Interface section on page 10 or the
Supplemental Communication Interface section on page 13, depending on your
application.

3.1 Connecting 7794A to Alarm Panel
When mounted in a subscriber enclosure and connected to the Fire Alarm Control
Panel dialer, the 7794A delivers alarm messages to the central monitoring station as
shown in Figure 2. The 7794A is supervised by the 7707 or 7177 Subscriber, which
continuously monitors a “heartbeat” signal from the 7794A. In this configuration no
Zone inputs are connected from the FACP to the 7794A.
Figure 2. Primary Communications Interface Using FACP Dialers
3.2 Connection Details
When mounted in a subscriber enclosure and connected to the Fire Alarm Control
Panel dialer, the 7794A delivers alarm messages to the central monitoring station as
shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.
Figure 3 shows a Primary Interface using a FACP Dialer and a Secondary interface
using a second FACP dialer and a Diverse Technology connection such as POTS,
GSM or TCP/IP.
Important!
The 7794A IntelliPro and Subscriber must be connected to the FACP within
the same room and in no more than 20 feet of conduit.

Part No. 40-7794A Rev. 3 9/20/2018
Figure 3. Primary and Secondary Communications Interface
To connect the 7794A to the FACP:
1. Extend FACP Dialer 1 and Dialer 2 TIP and RING to the 7794A.
2. Connect FACP Dialer 1 and Dialer 2 TIP wire to J6 terminal block labeled AP
TIP (see Figure 4).
3. Connect FACP Dialer 1 and Dialer 2 RING wire to the J6 terminal block
labeled AP RING (see Figure 4).
Figure 4. 7794A-to-FACP Connections
Important! Disabling Second FACP Telco Connection - most fire panels can be
configured to disable the second Telco connection, which disables panel supervision
for the second (disabled) Telco connection. Supervision alarms at the FACP can be
prevented by disabling the second Telco connection.

Part No. 40-7794A Rev. 3 9/20/2018
Figure 6. 7794A to Alarm Panel (U.S. Installation)
Two connection methods are used from FACP to the subscriber. The first is FACP
Dialer 1 and Dialer 2 to the 7794A. The second is FACP zone outputs to 7707 or 7177
zone inputs.
Method 1: Dialer 1/ Dialer 2 to 7794A
Method 2: FACP relays into 7707 or 7177 Subscriber Zone Inputs
Method 1 –FAILS
FACP detects Dialer 1 and Dialer 2 both in trouble
FACP trips relay "T" to 7707 or 7177
7707 or 7177 reports to MultiNet (DIALER FAILURE)
Method 2 –FAILS (antenna cut, etc.)
7707 or 7177 subscriber engages J4 Trouble Relay
J4 relay trip causes local annunciation (see 7707 Installation and Operation Manual –
AES P/N 40-7707 or 7177 Installation and Operation Manual –AES P/N 40-7177 for
details)
4.2 Connection Details –7794A to Alarm Panel (U.S Installation)
Connection from the FACP to the 7794A is provided in the instructions below:
