SYSTEM 3000 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
SECTION 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual provides the basic installation and operating procedures and instructions for the DIGITIZE
SYSTEM3000. Illustrationsareprovided throughout tofamiliarizetheoperatorwith the terminologyused
inthismanual. Operatorsandinstallersareadvisedtostudytheillustrationsandsystemdescriptionsbefore
reading the operating procedures. All installation and testing should be performed by factory trained
personnel.
1.1.SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Theoverall systemis knownas theDIGITIZE AlarmProcessing System. Alarmsare processed
from alarm/control sensors through alarm/control lines. When an alarm/control condition occurs,
an audible alarm, indicator lamp, alphanumeric message display, and a printed hard copy record
of the alarm/control condition will be presented to the operating personnel. The system may be
comprisedofsingleormultipleSYSTEM3000’sand/orComputerGraphicResponseManagement
Systems. The system is designed for fire alarm reporting, security alarm monitoring and control
applications for the municipal, industrial, military, collegiate, and commercial sectors.
1.2. SYSTEM 3000
TheoverallunitisknownastheSYSTEM3000. TheSYSTEM3000isatotallysolidstatesystem
that uses state of the art devices and circuitry to continuously monitor and display the status of all
system connected alarms. The SYSTEM 3000 is a microprocessor-based alarm monitoring and
control unit, with field programmable, nonvolatile memory. The SYSTEM 3000 may be used to
monitor multiplex, telegraph/McCulloh code, direct wire, digital dialer, network, addressable,
polling radio, and serial input alarm signals. The SYSTEM 3000 will also provide an alarm (both
visual and/or audible) to operating personnel in the event of an internal SYSTEM 3000
malfunction. The basic unit is supplied with the following standard equipment:
lPrinted circuit boards: POWER, DISP/KEY, CPU VI, E2PROM, PRT/KB, and I/O.
l150 Pages of field programmable memory for input of user text information.
lIntegral 20 column thermal printer capable of half, standard, and double height printing
in normal or bold intensity.
lFront panel mounted, 64 character, “plasma” type display readable at distances up to 15
feet.
lComputer style keyboard for user text entry as well as system setup.

SYSTEM 3000 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
1.3 ALARM TYPES
The SYSTEM 3000 handles three alarm type categories: ZONE, DIALER, and BOX. The
categories can be further broken down as follows:
ZONE •Direct wire inputs via EOL, RPI, or DCI input cards.
•Multiplex inputs via Data Gathering Panels including serial devices connected
to fire alarm panels.
•Polling radio zones via Radio Data Gathering Panels.
•Addressable devices such as Infrared detectors, magnetic door contacts via
the ISOdressablecapability, etc.
DIALER •Dialers monitored via DIGITIZE Digital Dialer receiver cards.
BOX •TELEGRAPH/McCULLOHcodedboxes.
Throughout this manual, when the terms ZONE, DIALER, or BOX are used, unless otherwise
indicated, they refer to any of the above devices.
1.4.MEMORY
EachSYSTEM3000issuppliedwith150screensofnonvolatile,nonmagnetic,fieldprogrammable
memory for storage of user text information. This memory is located in the “system” memory
moduleandoccupiesthefirstI.C.socket,(U1)ofthefirstmemorymotherboard,whichisprovided
with the system. All memory module data will be maintained in the event of a complete power
failure,includingthelossofbatterybackup. There are seven (7) empty memorysocketsavailable
onthe systemsupplied memory motherboard. Nonvolatile, nonmagnetic storagemay beadded to
the SYSTEM 3000 by installing memory modules and additional motherboards. Each of these is
explained below.

MEM-600 MEMORY CHIP P/N 450423-0002
INSTALLATIONSHEET P/N 800250, sheet #3
Each MEM-600 provides storage for up to 600 screens of field programmable user text
messages, each screen consisting of 3 lines of 16 characters each. Each direct wire zone,
multiplex zone, digital dialer account or telegraph box can have up to 9 screens of memory
assigned to it.
