4100/4120 Series Digital Alarm Communications Transmitters Installation Instructions
*0574836R*

Introduction
Digital Alarm Communications Transmitter’s (DACT) are option cards that mount within 4100 Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP).
The 4100-0155/4120-0155 Serial DACT,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 and 4100-6080 Side Mount DACT have 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 information 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 Wiring a Serial DACT Card Into the System. 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 Panel Programmer’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 4100ES using the codes listed on Compatibility. 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 information, 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.

Power-Limited Wiring
Power-limited Wiring Guidelines
• 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 power-limited power
supply that is listed for fire-protective signaling use.
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.

Configuring the DACT
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 Figure 5 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.
