1. Introduction To The
Networked Digital Communicator
The Networked Digital Communicator (ZNDC) is a UL listed dual-line dialer, that allows a Zeta
Alarm Systems Sigma Mk II or Classic 2000 Mk II fire alarm control panel to report events to a cen-
tral monitoring station, over the public phone system. The ZNDC supports the Contact ID reporting
protocol for reporting the type and location of events. The ZNDC requires the use of two phone
lines.

Built-in dual phone line-seizure circuit.
Programmable for Tone or Pulse dialing.
Dual phone line monitor circuits.
Transient voltage protection of phone lines.
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), visible from front of enclosure, indicating: Alive (Green); ZNDC
Trouble (Yellow); Line 1 Fault (Yellow); Line 2 Fault(Yellow); Line 1 In Use (Green); Line 2 In
Use (Green).
Easy programming using PC Programming Software
Fuseless design, 24 VDC.
Electrically erasable read-only memory (EEPROM) for nonvolatile storage of all programma-
