the FCC rules.
The inside of the enclosure has a label
containing the ringer equivalence
number (REN) for this equipment. When
requested, you must provide this
information to your local telephone
company.
The REN helps to determine the quantity
of devices that can be connected to
your telephone line and still have all
of those devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most
areas, the sum of the RENs of all
devices connected to one line should
not exceed five (5.0). To verify the
number of devices you can connect to
your line, contact your local telephone
company to determine the maximum REN
for your local calling area.

1.0 Overview
1.1 System Overview
The D9068 Fire Communicator is a
complete communicator for use with
compatible FACPs. Alarms and
communications to the D9068 are
accomplished using dry contacts or open
collector outputs.
The D9068 also includes:
12 VDC or 24 VDC operation
Multiple data protocols (Modem IIIa2,
Contact ID, SIA, and 4/2)
100-event history buffer
Five programmable discrete wire
inputs (Class B)
Dual telephone line interface
Option bus interface for built-in
programming using the D7033/FMR-
DACT-KEYPAD Keypad Programmer
Form C relay output for trouble
LEDs for heartbeat, system trouble,
and telephone line trouble (one per
line)
Serial port for connection to other
FACPs (such as the Bosch D8024 and
D10024/D10024A Analog FACPs)
Real-time clock
1.2 Features and Specifications
1.2.1 Power
Do not share power from the
FACP with the D9068 and other
peripheral devices.
Table 2: Power Specifications
Power Specifications
D9068 Value
Input voltage range
(use power-limited
source)
10.2 VDC to 28 VDC
for filtered DC
12 VRMS to 28 VRMS
for unfiltered DC
Standby current
150 mA Maximum
Alarm current
190 mA maximum
Although the D9068 can withstand short
power losses up to 5 min, connect it to
an unswitched, uninterrupted power
source.
If the D9068 loses power for more than
5 min:
The history buffer might clear and
all stored events are lost.
The output (report) buffer might
clear and all pending reports are
lost.
Alarms initiated before the power
loss might reset. If the alarm
conditions persist when power is
restored, new alarms can be
generated.
System time might reset to its
default setting.
If a power loss occurs,
programmed settings such as
input point configuration,
telephone numbers, and account
number remain intact.
1.2.2 System Supervision
Watchdog: The D9068 is supervised with
a hardware watchdog circuit. Failure of
the control program causes a hardware
reset within 2 sec. The trouble relay
is released for the duration of the
reset. Generally, this relay is held
energized.
Self Testing: Occasionally, the dialer
(DACT), EEPROM memory, input points,
and telephone lines are automatically
tested. The EEPROM checksum is verified
every 10 min. If the EEPROM checksum
fails, a trouble condition is
annunciated locally and a Trouble
Report is sent.
1.2.3 Inputs
The D9068 supports five inputs that can
be activated by dry contact relays or
open collector outputs. The open
collector outputs from the fire panel
must be below 1.3 VDC in alarm and must
sink 5 mA minimum. Refer to Table 3for
input point specifications.

1.2.4 Input Configuration
Initiating circuits or points can be
configured for seven types of
conditions: Fire Alarm, Waterflow
Alarm, Supervisory, Monitor Alarm,
System Fault, AC Failure, and Low
Battery. Refer to Section 4.2 Input
Point Operation on page 25 and 1:
CONFIGURE in Section 5.4.3 PROG INPUTS
on page 39 for more information.
1.2.5 Trouble Output
The D9068 has one Form C relay rated 1
A at 30 VDC. The Form C relay, which is
normally held activated, deactivates
for any trouble condition the D9068
detects. Refer to Section 4.3 Trouble
Relay Operation on page 27 for more
information.
When the D9068 is deployed on a ground
start network, the Form C relay can be
programmed alternatively to serve as a
ground start relay.
Ground start is not UL
compliant.
1.2.6 User Interface
A D7033/FMR-DACT-KEYPAD Keypad
Programmer connects to a five-pin
connector. It is used to program and
troubleshoot the D9068. The D7033/FMR-
DACT-KEYPAD can be set to any address
from 1 to 15.
Use the D7033/FMR-DACT-KEYPAD
only to program the D9068.
Connect this keypad to the
D9068 only temporarily for
programming.
1.2.7 Communication
Formats
The D9068 supports four protocols:
Modem IIIa2, Contact ID, SIA, and 4/2.
Report Routing
Six different report groups can be
routed to one of the following phone
settings:
PHONE 1 ONLY: The report is sent to
Phone 1 only.
PHONE 2 ONLY: The report is sent to
Phone 2 only.
PHON 1 & 2: The report is sent to
Phones 1 and 2.
PHN 2 BACKUP: The report is sent to
Phone 1, and then to Phone 2 if
Phone 1 fails.
These reporting groups consist of non-
supervisory alarms (NONSUP ALRM),
supervisory alarms (SUPVSY ALRM), alarm
restorals and resets (ALM RSTR, RST),
supervisory restorals (SUPVSY RSTR),
tests (TESTS), and troubles and trouble
restorals (TBL, TBLRSTR).
Refer to Section 4.1.4 Call Routing on
page 21, 4: RPT STEERING on page 44,
and Appendix E: Report Routing on page 63
for more information about report
steering.
Reset Report
The Reset Report is issued when the
D9068 is reset from any off normal
condition.
Telephone Line Selection
The D9068 follows a predetermined
sequence to choose between the two
telephone lines. It also implements the
new NFPA requirements for alternating
telephone lines during test reporting.
The D9068 maintains a variable that
selects either Phone Line 1 or Phone
Line 2 for Auto Test Reports. After
each successful Test Report, the
variable switches to select the other
telephone line. Users can select the
telephone line for Manual Test Reports.
Communication Failed Indication
The D9068 indicates a communication
failure after ten attempts to
communicate are completed without
success. This causes the trouble output
to activate and attempt to report the
fault.

1.2.8 History Buffer
The D9068 has a history buffer that
retains up to 100 events. Each event is
tagged with the date and time of
occurrence. This buffer can be viewed
when a D7033/FMR-DACT-KEYPAD is
attached to the D9068. When the buffer
is full, old events are discarded to
make room for new events. A watchdog
reset is entered in the buffer and does
not reset the buffer.
The history buffer can clear
when the system loses power
for more than 5 min.

2.2.3 Analog FACP Connections
Use the D9068 with the Bosch D8024 and D10024/D10024A Analog FACPs to send reports
to a central station. A D9052 RS-232 Bus Module between the FACP and D9068 is
required. The FACP must be assigned a network address of 1. Refer to Appendix F:
D8024/D10024/D10024A Analog FACP Operation on page 64 for the events generated by
the D8024 and D10024/D10024A.
Although the D9068 supervises its connection to the D8024 and D10024/D10024A, the
analog FACPs do not supervise the connection of the D9068. If the RS-232 link
between the D9068 and FACP is broken, the D9068 recognizes the problem but the
FACP does not.

To verify correct
communications, perform a
manual Communications Test.
Refer to 1: TEST COMM in
Section 5.5.4 3- TEST on page
50 for manual communication
testing instructions.
Test the system according to
NFPA 72 Chapter 10.4.1.2 (2002)
after modifications, repairs,
upgrades, or adjustments.
Refer to Appendix A:
Troubleshooting on page 51 for
information on error messages
or messages indicating abnormal
operating conditions.
4.0 System Operation
4.1 Communicator Operation
The D9068 has an integrated communicator
that sends reports to a monitoring
station. The communicator operates
automatically.
When events occur, the communicator
sends corresponding reports to the
monitoring station by priority according
to NFPA requirements. Fire and water-
flow alarms are sent first, followed by
supervisory alarms and trouble reports,
and finally by all other reports.
4.1.1 Phone Line and Phone Number
Selection
To comply with UL and NFPA
standards, program a primary
and an alternate telephone
number. The numbers must be
different.
The D9068 can report to two telephone
numbers with full single, double, and
backup reporting. It communicates in
Modem IIIa², Contact ID, SIA, and
4/2 formats.
To verify the delivery of critical
reports, the D9068 can report over two
phone lines. Reports can be directed to
one or both of the two phone numbers
using the report steering feature in the
D9068 programming. Account Number 1 is
used with Phone Number 1 and Account
Number 2 is used with Phone Number 2.
Except for Test Reports, the
D9068 automatically selects the
telephone line to use.
Report Routing
Reports are routed in two ways:
1. Report routing starts using Phone
Number 1 on Phone Line 1, unless the
line monitor shows Phone Number 1 to
be bad at the start of reporting. If
the report fails on Phone Number 1 on
Phone Line 1, the D9068 automatically
switches and uses Phone Number 2 on
Phone Line 1.
2. If the report still fails on either
phone number on Phone Line 1, the
D9068 tries to send the report on
Phone Line 2 using Phone Number 1. If
this fails, it tries Phone Number 2
on Phone Number 1.
