TESTING VOICE LINE.
.
NOTE: ANY VARIATIONS FROM THE ABOVE, SEE THE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE attached
separately in your Work Order and/or call your respective Installation Support Line.
1. Locate the Fire Alarm Panel. Have the Manager escort you to the room/area where the active
Fire Panel is located, if not already visible refer to your Installer Representative Manual for a sample
picture of typical Fire Alarm Panels.
-A good indication that you've identified the correct Fire Alarm Panel is when you find the
two(2) existing POTS lines that are associated with the Fire Alarm Panel. The two (2) existing POTS
lines can appear in varied termination options and locations, such as:
a. Two(2) surface-mount jacks located just outside of the Fire Panel, generally
RJ-31 style
b. In a 4x4 electrical box just off to the side of the fire panel.
c. Jacks may be inside the Fire Alarm Panel on Motherboard and/or a dialer
module.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TOUCH these existing surface mount jacks or their cabling at this time!
.
Page 17
Revision No. 004 April 2020

-Take a "BEFORE" picture of the panel and any status indicators/displayed messages
appearing to represent the condition of the panel upon arrival!
CAUTION: DO NOT DISCONNECT ANY EXISTING PHONE LINES UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO LATER IN
THIS DOCUMENT. TO DO SO EARLIER, MAY RISK A POSSIBLE DISPATCH FROM THE RESPECTIVE ALARM
COMPANY.
Installation Tasks – Locate Existing POTS Lines
PHASE 2
WARNING! DO NOT TOUCH THE EXISTING RJ-31 POTS JACKS NEAR FIRE PANEL UNLESS
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO
Once the Fire Panel is located, you will need to connect the DataRemote CDS-9090 device's phone
1-8 ports respectively with the Fire Alarm Panel's primary & secondary phone line ports preferably
utilizing the existing cabling already connecting those ports to their current POTS lines.
As stated earlier in Step 1, when trying to find the Fire Alarm Panel, that cabling is typically
terminated near the Fire Panel via some method before running inside the panel to connect to it. A
common method uses two (2) surface mount jacks, but you may see other methods as well.
ID the termination points of those two(2) POTS lines serving the Fire Alarm Panel at the telco
Closet/demarc. To do so, try one or more of the following:
TESTING FIRE PANEL. (Continued)
Look for the two (2) telephone number's (TN) if ID's and labeled at the Fire Panel and record
them in your installation checklist and then look for labels with those TN's at the Telco
Room/Demarc.
Be sure to also note which TN may be labeled primary or secondary.
Tone-trace the existing cabling:
Temporarily unplug the cable from the Fire Alarm Panel leading into one of the RJ-31x
surface mount jacks.
Page 18
Revision No. 004 April 2020

Plug tone-generator into the surface mount jack to tone-out the cabling back towards the
Demarc to discover its location. Repeat for other RJ-31x jack/cable too if needed.
Restore connection to RJ-31 jack(s) if removed to conduct tone-test.
Installation Tasks – Locate Existing POTS Lines
PHASE 2 (continued)
Cut-over Fire Alarm Panel lines to new CDS-9090 device.
PHASE 3
CAUTION: ONLY PROCEED IF STEPS 1 AND 2 ARE COMPLETE & WITHOUT ANY OPEN ISSUES.
Once those POTS Line terminations are found in the telco closet demarc/SIN, their cable-runs to
the Fire Alarm Panel need to be isolated from their telco POTS lines and redirected to the
DataRemote CDS-9090 device’s phone ports using included 5' long phone cords. The method of
termination of those lines coming back from the Fire Alarm Panel will dictate the next steps taken to
cut them over to DataRemote CDS-9090 device.
1. If the cable runs coming from the Fire Panel terminate in the Telco closet demarc/SIN to an RJ-11
or RJ-45 patch-panel or surface-mount (SMT) jack:
a. Determine which jack is associated to the primary or secondary line from Fire Alarm
Panel and mark them respectively with new device’s telephone numers as noted
in your checklist during Step 1 tasks for 9090's phone 1-8 ports respectively.
b. Remove what's plugged into the Primarily marked jack now and plug one end of a
phone cord included in the kit into that jack and the other end into Phone jack of the
DataRemote CDS-9090 device respective line for Fire Alarm – Primary Dialer connection.
NOTE: Mark this phone 1 port's phone cord with a "1" or "P" to reflect it connects to the
CDS-9090 pevice's phone alarm port.
c. Repeat with other included phone cord for secondary marked jack into phone 2 jack of
the DataRemote CDS-9090 device for Fire Alarm – secondary dialer connection
Page 19
Revision No. 004 April 2020

Cut-over Fire Panel Lines to New CDS-9090 device.
PHASE 3 (continued)
NOTE: Leave it unmarked or place a "2" or an "S" on its phone cord.
d. If cable runs coming from the Fire Panel terminate in the Telco closet demarc/SIN to
a 66 or 110 block, check the following:
- Determine which jack is associated with the Primary or Secondary line of Fire Panel and
mark them accordingly it if not already apparent/visible.
- Isolate the Telco side connection from those two (2) pairs (i.e. lift bridging clips on
66-Block) Punch-down the two pairs of the new cable run to a dual SMT jack or two (2)
Single-port SMT jacks (a.k.a. biscuit jacks)
- Determine and mark/label each SMT jack cover with its new device Telephone number
plus some primary or secondary suffix - i.e: 678.555.1234 678.555.2468 FIRE PNL-Prim
FIRE PNL-Sec
2. Mount the SMT Jack(s) somewhat near to the DataRemote CDS-9090 device depending on 5' long
phone cord's reach and distance between 66-Blk & SMT box(es)
3. Using your cable tester, test both SMT jack terminations and take PHOTO of test results to add to
deliverables (REQUIRED).
4. Using included phone cords with RJ-11 terminations, connect FXS alarm ports from CDS-9090
device to the “FIRE-Primary & FIRE-Secondary” SMT box respectively
5. Mark Cables:
- Mark the DataRemote CDS-9090 device alarm line 1 port's phone cord with a "1" or "P"
to reflect it connects to the DataRemote CDS-9090 device's alarm line 1 port.
- Mark the DataRemote CDS-9090 device's alarm 2 port's phone cord with a "2" or "S" to
reflect it connects to the DataRemote CDS-9090 device's alarm line 2 port.
Testing Fire Alarm communication over
DataRemote's CDS-9090 device.
PHASE 4
The DataRemote CDS-9090 device will be set in auto alarm mode. Meaning it will detect what type
of supported protocol the panel communicates in (Contact-ID, SIA, Pulse...Etc)
NOTE: do not plug in a butt set to the cds-9090 device and make a test call on any of the alarm
lines as this will deactivate the auto detect mode.
The first call will fail, if calls continue to fail contact installation support.
