SG-System 5 Overview
The SG-System 5 is a multi-platform receiver intended for remote monitoring of commercial fire and burglary systems. The SG-System 5 can monitor
up to 24 communication line cards (SG-DRL5-IP or SG-DRL5/DRL5E/DRL5-2L) to receive and process alarm data in up to 64 pre-programmed pro-
files per line card. The SG-System 5's real-time clock date stamps all received alarm signals which are then transmitted to a central station computer via
TCP/IP or RS-232 port; transmitted directly to a printer using the serial printer port and/or TCP/IP; and viewed on the LCD of the front panel while the
receiver is in the manual state. Options can be programmed using a PC with SG-System 5 Console or locally using the touchscreen LCD.
Use this guide in conjunction with the SG-System 5 v1.1 Operating Manual, which you can access from the dsc.com web site.
CPM redundancy
The SG-System 5 can be used in a redundant configuration using two SG-CPM5s, where the primary SG-CPM5 backs up to the secondary SG-CPM5
and vice versa. Under normal conditions, the primary SG-CPM5 is active and outputs all signals to the printer and automation, while the secondary SG-
CPM5 is in standby. If the primary fails, the secondary SG-CPM5 automatically switches to active within 30 seconds and starts outputting signals to
the printer and automation. During the switchover from standby to active, signal reception is not affected since the line cards are still able to receive sig-
nals. The output to printer and automation is delayed by the length of time required to switch from standby to active.
