Review the following guidelines before installing the DACT.
Make sure these guidelines are accounted for before wiring:
• All wires must be 18 AWG, or as the local code dictates.
• Conductors must test free of all grounds.
• Wiring to IO terminals must not be run with AC wiring.
• Power must come from a Simplex-approved power supply.
• All wiring must be done using copper conductors only, unless noted otherwise.
• If shielded wire is used,
- the metallic continuity of the shield must be maintained throughout the entire cable
length.
- the entire length of the cable must have a resistance greater than 1 Megohm to earth
ground.
• Underground wiring must be free of all water.
• In areas of high lightning activity, or in areas that have large power surges, the
2081-9027 Transient Suppressor should be used on monitor points.
• Wires must not be run through elevator shafts.
• Wires that run in plenum must be in conduit.
• Splicing is permitted. All spliced connections must either be soldered (resin-core solder),
crimped in metal sleeves, or encapsulated with an epoxy resin. When soldering or
crimped metal sleeves are used, the junction must be insulated with a high-grade
electrical tape that is as sound as the original insulating jacket. Shield continuity must be
maintained throughout.
• A system ground must be provided for earth detection and lightning protection devices.
This connection must comply with approved earth detection per NFPA780.
• Only system wiring can be run together in the same conduit.

Make sure these guidelines are accounted for before wiring for power-limited systems:
• Non-power limited field wiring (AC power, batteries, City connection) must be installed
and routed in the shaded areas shown in Figure 2.
• Power-limited field wiring must be installed and routed in the non-shaded areas shown in
Figure 2, with the exception of City wiring.
• Excess slack should be kept to a minimum inside the back box enclosure. The wiring
should be neatly dressed and bundled together using the wire ties provided with the
equipment. Anchor power-limited wiring to tie points, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Power-Limited Wiring
• Tie the wiring located between bays to the internal wiring troughs, if applicable.
• When powering remote units or switching power through relay contacts, power for these
circuits must be provided by a UPS-style power supply, the 4100-1108 Power Supply
(8A), or a power-limited power supply that listed for fire-protective signaling use.

Have the telephone company install two telephone lines, each terminated with an RJ-31X jack
immediately above or as close as possible to the fire alarm control panel. Be prepared to supply
the telephone company with the telephone number(s) to which the DACT is connected and the
FCC information printed on the FCC and/or Industry Canada label.
Caution: Do not direct-connect the DACT to a coin telephone or party line. Be sure
that the telephone lines that you are connecting the DACT to are standard
analog lines and not digital (PBX), party, or coin telephone lines. The line
must be dedicated to the DACT and must not have any TELCO features
such as “CALL WAITING”, etc.
The connection to the RJ-31X jacks must be made via the modular jack in installations where the
DACT will share the telephone line with premises phones or other equipment. Use two Simplex
harnesses for this connection either 2080-9046 (7 feet) or 2080-9047 (14 feet).
Refer to Figure 2 as you read the following instructions.
1. Connect the 2080-9046 or 2080-9047 Harness to the TB3 and TB4 screw terminals on the
DACT.
2. The two telephone line harnesses must take separate paths from the host FACP to the RJ-31X
blocks. Use the cable tie-wraps (supplied) to provide strain relief for these cables. Secure the
cables to any standoff or metal fixture along the cable run between the DACT and the panel
exit.
3. Connect one harness to both RJ-31X jacks.
Note: TELCO wiring is supervised.

Configuring the DACT consists of
• setting the correct communication mode
• specifying whether the DACT is in Test mode
• specifying whether the DACT should be ready to download new programming data
• setting the device address
This section covers all of these settings.
Make sure switch SW1 is in the DOWN position. This specifies the 4100 communications mode.
Make sure switch SW2 is in the DOWN (off) position. This should be used for testing the DACT,
and then returned to the DOWN position. See “Step 4. Testing.”
SW3 tells the DACT whether it should be downloading programming data or not. To download
data, switch SW3 must be in the UP position. During normal DACT operation, SW3 must be in
the DOWN position.
The device address is set via DIP switch SW4, which is a bank of eight switches. From left to right
(see Figure 3, below) these switches are designated as SW4-1 through SW4-8. The function of
these switches is as follows:
• SW4-1. This switch sets the baud rate for the internal 4100 communications line
running between the card and the 4100 CPU. Set this switch to ON.
• SW4-2 through SW4-8. These switches set the card’s address within the 4100 FACP.
Refer to Table 2 for a complete list of the switch settings for all of the possible card
addresses.
Note: You must set these switches to the value assigned to the card by the 4100
Programmer.

When the DACT is connected to the system, its operations should be tested with the manual TEST
switch (SW1). The manual test ensures that:
• the phone line is working
• the DACT has been programmed with a correct phone number
• communications with the central station works
When the manual switch is activated, the DACT dials the central station and transmits a "manual
test" event code to the DACR located at the central station. During the dialing process, the green
power/comm LED (LED1) should change from steady on to flashing, indicating that the DACT is
attempting communications with the central station. The green LED should change back from
flashing to the steady on state when communication is established.
When the green LED returns to steady on, return the TEST switch to the OFF position
