AES 7794 IntelliPro Fire –Installation Manual
AES Corporation 6 40-7794, Rev 5, 6/9/2015
1Summary
This document describes the installation procedure for the AES 7794 IntelliPro Fire
module used with AES Fire Subscriber units to transmit alarm zone data.
The 7794 IntelliPro is a dialer interface intended for use with commercial Fire Alarm
Control Panel (FACP) installations. The 7794 is a UL Listed primary communicator
when used with the AES 7762 Hardware Supervisor.
Installed between the FACP and AES subscriber, the 7794 intercepts alarm panel
messages and sends them to the monitoring station via the AES fire subscriber unit.
NOTE: The 7794 IntelliPro and subscriber must be connected to the FACP within the
same room and in no more than 20 ft. of conduit.
1.1 Basic Functions
The 7794 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 7794 can
intercept the FACP phone line connection at different states of the call if the intercept
number matches the number being dialed.
1.2 User Interface
The 7794 does not use configuration jumper settings and is programmed using the AES
Hand Held Programmer (P/N 7041E). The Hand Held Programmer connects to the J2
RJ11 connector labeled “HandHeld”. See Figure 1. - 7794 Connector and LED
Locations. The Hand Held is also used for diagnostics and monitoring of the 7794 while
in operation. An LED is used to indicate operating status. See Section 6 Status LED
Blink Patterns for details.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the Hand Held programmer to the J1 connector. J1 is for
connecting the 7794 to the subscriber unit.
1.3 System Requirements
This document assumes 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 Multi
Net software environment including IPCtrl and automation.
1.3.1 Fire Alarm Control Panel Telco Interface Requirements
NOTE:
The 7794 is NOT compatible with Fire Alarm Control Panels that

With the 7794 IntelliPro used as the sole path communicator, only one telephone
line connection to the FACP is required. Use the following method below.
Parallel connect both telephone lines together.
The 7794 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
Section 3, Figure 5 and Section 4, Figure 6D.
1.4 Safety Considerations
All equipment must be installed in accordance with National Electric Code,
NFPA 70, National Fire Code NFPA 72 and local building codes.

5.6.3.2.1 Modem 2 format –unknown panel type family assignment
When using the Modem II format there is a chance that you will find a panel type (a field
in the Modem II message that the 7794 translates) that does not exist in the 7794 pre-
defined panel types. When this occurs, even though the 7794 knows that it is Modem II,
it cannot decide what the panel family is. For these cases there is a setting that is active
when the unknown panel type is detected. This occurs at the configuration time and you
MUST set the proper family. NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS NEEDED AND AVAILABLE
FOR THE MODEM2 AP FORMAT ONLY.
For details, Section 8.2 –Modem 2 format –unknown panel type family assignment on
page 31
