NOTE: This option will affect COM1 if COM1 is
programmed with communication format 4.
OPTION 15: CHANGE RECEIVER NUMBER
The receiver number is used to identify the receiver
when communicating via Serial. To change the
receiver number enter a value from 01-FF in Option [15]
OPTION 16: 3-2 FORMAT
The 3-2 communication format is a 10 to 20 baud
format with 5-digit reporting codes. The first 3 digits
represent the account code, and the last 2 digits
represent the alarm code. Since 4-1 format is also
5-digit format, it is necessary to choose one or the other.
Program “1” to enable this option otherwise, program
“0” to get 4-1 format.
firealarmresources.com

6
OPTION 17: 4-1 EXPRESS FORMAT
The Ademco 4-1 express format may cause conflicts
with the Sur-Gard DTMF 4-3 with checksum format.
To prevent conflicts, enable option 17 by programming
“1”. Enabling this option will bypass the Sur-gard 4-3
with checksum format decoding.
OPTION 18: ON LINE DELAY
On line duration delay is built-in to control runaway
of diallers.
A duration delay from 01-99 minutes can be programmed.
The receiver starts timing when it picks up the line and
when the delay expires, the receiver will hang up the call
even if the dialer continues sending the data. If the duration
delay is programmed as 00, this feature will be disabled.
OPTION 19-28: 3-1 / 4-1 FORMAT EVENT CODES #0-F
The receiver uses the Sur-Gard communication format to
transmit data to the central station computer. Event codes
correspondingtoalarmcodesin10to 40 baudformatsand
DTMF 4-1 to 4-3 formats are used in this unique format to
enable the computer software to determine alarm types.
NOTE: The alarm digit codes, 0 or A have the same
event code. The changing of the event code
for alarm digit “A” has no effect.
EXAMPLE: ALARM RECEIVED
1234 1 (ALARM CODE IS 1)
Printer: AD41 1234-1 FIRE ALARM
10:52:30 03/03
Computer: 1011ssssss1234sAss1[DC4}
The event code A has been transmitted because it
corresponds to the code programmed with the alarm
code 1.
OPTIONS 29-38: 3-2, 4-2 FORMAT EVENT CODES #0-F
The receiver will use the fifth digit of data received in
4-2 formats to determine the message and event code.
The event code will then be transmitted to the central
station computer.
NOTE: The alarm digit code 0 or A have the same
event code. So, changing event code for alarm digit
A has no effect.
OPTIONS 39-48: 4-3 FORMAT EVENT CODES #0-F
The receiver will use the fifth digit of data received in
4-3 formats to determine the message and event code.
The event code will then be transmitted to the central
station computer.
NOTE: The alarm digit codes 0 or A have the same
event code. So, changing event code for alarm digit
A has no effect.
OPTION 49: HANDSHAKE AND KISSOFF DURATION
Some control panels have difficulty in decoding the
receiver’s handshake and/or kissoff tones on noisy phone
lines. This option provides a possible solution for this
problem by providing longer constant tones.
A duration delay from 0.6-3.0 seconds can be programmed.
The factory default setting for Handshake and Kissoff
duration is 1.0 second tone. If a value greater than 3.0 is
programmed, it takes the maximum value 3.0 sec. By
default.The same thing applies if a value smaller than 0.6
is entered, it takes the minimum value 0.6 sec. by default.
OPTION 4A: SIA LEVEL II
ThePC-LC2providesSIAProtocol1forSIAlevel1RS-232
communicationandSIAProtocol2forSIAlevel1,2,3,RS-
232 communication. Program 00 for SIA protocol 1 and 01
for SIA Protocol 2.
OPTION 4B: SLAVE POLL
This option will determine how many channels will be
polled in each setup. The Default is 07.
OPTION 4C: CHANNEL STATUS
Option to 00 will use standard SG Heartbeat. Option set to
01 will use The Reporter heartbeat. Default is 01.
OPTION 4D: EQUIVALENT LINE
Option [4D] is used when an incoming signal can be
received on another receiver telephone line if the original
line is busy. Information printed and/or sent to the printer
will indicate that the information was received on the same
telephone line. The receiver message does not change.
Program 00 at option [4D], or a number from 01 to 0E

PC-LC2 STAND-BY MODE
The following messages are sent to the printer and
computer when the receiver is powered up:
Printer: SG-PC-LC2 MAY-14-00 V1.00
Computer: 0000 A D0
After these start-up transmissions, the unit enters the
Stand-by Mode and monitors the system’s status
1. Data reception
2. Line fault
3. Printer error
4. COM1 Absent
1. DATA RECEPTION
The PC-LC2 decodes all information received and
stores the information in its event buffer. When a valid
signalisreceived,itsendsakissoffsignalandtransmitsthe
decoded alarm signal to the printer and computer.
The unit will send each received message to the printer
for review by the system operator. Two messages may
be sent to the printer to indicate reception problems:
the “Fault Data” and “Fault Call”.
FAULT DATA MESSAGE
When this problem is encountered, the following
information is transmitted to the printer and the computer:
Printer: TRBL ????-10 Fault Data
Computer: 0000 T 10
This output for account code “0000” indicates that data
has been received, but is not valid (for example, there
are unmatched rounds or the wrong parity). The
following is an example of fault data received by the
unit, and the printer output generated:
Round Data Received Printer Output
1st 123456 [No printout]
2nd 123446 ?1234?56 Fault Data
?1234?46 Fault Data
3rd 123356 ?1233?56 Fault Data
4th 123456 ?1234?56 Fault Data
5th 123346 ?1233?46 Fault Data
??????10 Fault Data
[No more data]
PC-LC2 SYSTEM STATUS FAULT CALL
When this problem is encountered, the following
information is transmitted to the printer and the
computer:
Printer: TRBL ????-40 Fault Call
Computer: 0000 T 40
This output indicated that a call was received, but no
data was detected. The call may have been a wrong
number, or the calling control panel was unable to
connect with the receiver handshake. If the Caller-
Identification option is enabled, check the memory for
the originating phone number.
If: Option [08] is programmed as 1 (Caller Identification
enabled and send Caller-Identification to printer)
Then: Under normal conditions, when there are no
data or call faults, the printer messages will be similar
to the following:
SG43 1234-346 5551212
If a Data Fault or Call Fault occurs, the printer messages
will be similar to the following:
Fault Data: TRBL ????-10 5551212
Fault Call: TRBL ????-40 5551212
NOTE: “?” represents the missing data, 5551212
represents the originating telephone number.
If: Option [08] is programmed as 2 (Send Caller-Iden-
tification to printer when faulty data is received)
Then: Under normal conditions, where there are no
data or call faults, the printer messages will be similar
to the following:
SG42 1234-C6 CloseUsr6
If a Data Fault occurs, the printer message will be
similar to the following:
Fault Data: TRBL ????-10 5551212
CALLER ID
If a Fault Data or Fault Call occurs and Caller ID is
enabled, the printer messages will be similar to the
following:
Fault Data: ??????10 5551212
Fault Call: ??????40 5551212
NOTE: "?" represents the missing data;
"5551212" represents the originating telephone
number.

2. LINE FAULT
The SG-PC-LC2 verifies the telephone line voltage every
2 seconds.
The following information will be transmitted to the printer
and/or computer if the phone line is not detected:
Printer: TRBL ????-20 Line Fault
Computer: 0000 A 20
If the telephone line returns to normal, the following
information will be transmitted to the printer and
computer:
Printer: TRBL ????-30 Line Restr
Computer: 0000 R 30
3. PRINTER ERROR
If option [09] is enabled and there is a printer trouble (for
example printer off-line, or paper out) the following will be
transmitted to the printer and/or computer:
Computer: 0000 A 01
Printer: * Printer Error !
4. COM1 ABSENT
If option [0D] is enabled and COM1 is absent (for
example, disconnected, or fails to send acknowledge signal)
the following message will be transmitted to the printer
and/or computer:
Computer: 0000 A 05
Printer: * Com absent !
SG-PC-LC2 COMMUNICATION FORMATS
COMMON FORMATS
• 3-1, 4-1, 4-2 formats; 10, 14, 20 baud
• 3-1, 4-2 formats with or without checksum;
40 baud
• 3-2 format; 10, 14, 20 baud (option)
• 3-1 extended 10-40 baud
• 4-1 extended 10-40 baud
• 4-2 extended 10-40 baud
SG DTMF FORMATS
Sur-Gard DTMF 4-3 and 4-3 with Checksum formats
provide fast, reliable and easy to understand and
decode data transmission. On-line time will be greatly
reduced when using 4-3 and 4-3 with Checksum
formats. The 4-1 and 4-2 DTMF formats can also be
decoded by the SG-PC-LC2.
When using the 4-3 with Checksum format, Option [17]
should be programmed as “00” to avoid conflict with
the 4-1 Express format. The 4-3 with Checksum
format is recommended for use with SG security
control panels.
