Overview
Digital Alarm Communications Transmitter’s (DACT) are option cards that mount within 4100
Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP).
The 4100/4120-0155 Serial DACT, available for the 4100 (non-4100U/4100ES) only, can be
programmed to notify the central station when specified events occur, or to report changes to a
specific point’s status.
The 4100-6052 DACT, available for the 4100U and 4100ES, has four main functions:
• Notifying the central station when specified events occur
• Reporting changes to a specific point’s status to the central station
• Connecting to a DSC TL300 transmitter for connection to a central station via Ethernet line
(UL and ULC)
• Connecting to a Bosch C900V2 transmitter for connection to a Central Station through the
Ethernet line (UL only)
Phone Line
Transmission
The DACT receive system status messages from the host FACP, and communicate the informa-
tion over the public telephone network to a Digital Alarm Communications Receiver (DACR) at
the central station.
The DACT is connected to two telephone lines, which are not required to be "dedicated" to the
fire alarm. They may be connected to other telecom equipment, but the DACT must be wired
electrically "first" in the chain as shown in Figure 5. The telephone lines must be wired to DACT
terminals TB1-2/TB1-3 and TB2-2/TB3-3 to ensure that the DACT can disconnect other telecom
equipment in case the phone line is in use during an emergency. The other telecom equipment is
wired to TB1-1/TB1-4 and TB2-1/TB2-4.
The DACT is programmable for pulse or tone dialing , see the ES PanelProgrammer’s Manual
(574-849) for the programming instructions.
The DACT detects whether or not a telephone line is connected to both inputs. A 4100 system
trouble is signaled, both audibly and visibly, if either line is disconnected.
TL300 Ethernet
Transmission (UL
and ULC)
The DACT receives system status messages from the FACP using CID codes only. Then, it
communicates the information over an Ethernet connection to a DACR at the central station. The
telephone connections on the DACT are connected together, (R1 (TB1-2) to R2 (TB2-2) and T1
(TB1-3) to T2 (TB2-3). Then, a single pair is connected to the TL300 (T1 (TB1-2 of DACT) to
T1 and R1 (TB2-3 of DACT) to R1). Since an actual telephone line is not used, TB1-1/TB1-4 and
TB2-1/TB2-4 are not used. The correct IP address and other modes are programmed into the
TL300, see programming section later in this manual.
When the DACT goes off-hook, the TL300 sends a dial tone to the DACT. The panel dials the
number of the central station and the TL300 send all the correct tones so that the DACT believes
it is connected to the central station via a telephone line. Upon receipt of the information the
TL300 sends the information to the central station via the Ethernet connection. The TL300 must
be mounted within 20 feet, in the same room, in conduit. Power for the TL300 comes from the
FACP. Refer to T-Link TL300 Installation Manual 29034531 for further details.

C900V2 Ethernet
Transmission (UL
only)
The DACT receives system status messages from the 4100U/4100ES using the codes listed on
page 17. It then communicates the information over an Ethernet connection to a DACR at the
central station. The telephone connections on the DACT are connected together; R1 (TB1-2) to
R2 (TB2-2) and T1 (TB1-3) to T2 (TB2-3). Then a single pair is connected to the C900V2.
Note: Since an actual telephone line is not used, TB1-1/TB1-4 and TB2-1/TB2-4 are not used.
The correct IP address and other modes are programmed into the C900V2, refer to the Installation
and Programming manual supplied with the C900V2.
When the DACT goes off-hook, the C900V2 sends a dial tone to the DACT. The panel dials the
number of the central station and the C900V2 sends all the correct tones so that the DACT
believes it is connected to the central station through the telephone line. Upon receipt of the infor-
mation, the C900V2 sends the information to the central station through the Ethernet connection.
The C900V2 must be mounted within 20 feet of the FACP and in the same room as it. It must also
be enclosed in a conduit or be equivalently protected against mechanical changes.

Before Installation
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 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 not have any Telephone
Company (TELCO) features such as “CALL WAITING”, etc.
Connecting the
2080-9047
Harness to the
DACT and RJ-31X
Jacks
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 - 2080-9047 (14 feet).
Refer to Figure 3 as you read the following instructions.
1. Connect the 2080-9047 Harness to the TB3 and TB4 screw terminals on the DACT as shown in
Figure 3.
2. The two telephone line harnesses must take separate paths from the host FACP to the RJ-31X
blocks. Use cable tie-wraps 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 each RJ-31X jack.
Note: TELCO wiring is supervised.

Overview
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.
Setting the COMM
switch
Make sure switch SW1 is in the DOWN position. This specifies the 4100 communications mode.
Setting the Test
Switch
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 “Testing.”
Setting the
Programmer
Switch
To download data, switch SW3 must be in the UP position. During normal DACT operation,
SW3 must be in the DOWN position. See the section on Testing and Compatibility.
Setting the
Address
The device address is set via DIP switch SW4, which is a bank of eight switches. From left to
right (see Figure 4) 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 3 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 Programmer.

Wiring Guidelines
Review the following guidelines before wiring P1 and P4 of the DACT.
• If U.T. motherboard 565-274 or 565-213 is wired to the DACT, jumper P4 on the motherboard
must be at position 13.
• Unless otherwise noted, wiring is not supervised.
• Cut and strip wire harnesses to the proper length, if required.
Wiring an Serial
DACT Card Into
the System
Note: Unless otherwise noted, wiring is not supervised.
1. Wire the Serial DACT into the system in accordance with Figure 5.
2. Route the TELCO cables using separate paths from panel exit to RJ-31X modules
3. 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 Serial DACT and the panel exit.
Figure 5. Serial DACT card 0566-787
Figure 5 Notes:
1. Factory connections:
• 4100: Connect to the nearest 4100/4120 Motherboard P2/P3 plugs: white wire socket to P3, blue wire
socket to P2. Observe orientations.
• 4100U/4100ES: Connectto the nearest 4100/4120 Motherboard P2/P3 plugs or /4100ES Motherboard P7/
P8 plugs: white wire socket to P7, blue wire socket to P8. Observe orientations.
2. Power-limited wiring. Route the TELCO cables from the terminal blocks to the left side of panel, and exit at the
top-left of enclosure. Using the 2080-9046 Harness (7 ft. cable), -9047 Harness (14 ft. cable), or equivalent,
connect to the TELCO jacks. Splice as required (using a minimumof 22 AWG wire) to complete the desired span.
The TELCO wiring is supervised.
3. Cable connection to Serial DACT Programmer (only present during set-up).
• 4100: Switch SW3 must be placed in the ON position for the download. When the download is completed,
place switch SW3 in the OFF position for normal operation. Cable is not supervised.
• 4100U/4100ES: Connection to the Programmer is not required for 4100U/4100ES installations.
Programmer switch SW3 must remain in the OFF position. SDACT program is updated automatically after
system download.
4. Card Address Switch (SW4).
5. Programmer Switch (SW3). Slide switch SW3 to the ON (up) position to program and download. Return to OFF
position for normal operation. Note: “Up” and “down” switch references become “in” and “out” after the board is
installed.
6. SDACT Manual Test Switch (SW2). Slide switch SW2 to the ON (up) position for a manual test that will dial and
attempt DACR communication. Return to the OFF position for normal operation.
7. COMM Switch (SW1). Switch SW1 must be in the down position for 4100/4120 communication.
8. U.S./Canada Operating Mode Jumper:
• U.S. mode is selected when there is no jumper or jumpers are connected to pin 1 and 2.
• Canada mode is selected when jumpers are connected to pin 2 and 3
9.
Bootloader Switch (SW5). The bootloader switch should be left in the off position for SDACT operation. If
necessary, It can be used to allow a field upgrade to the SDACT firmware. Instructions for using the bootloader
will be included with any required firmware upgrades. (See Technical Support web site for future availability.)
