Protege System Controller Reference Manual

Reporting Codes
Custom reporting codes are assigned to zone types to override the default reporting code used for a specific
alarm event. The following lists detail the reporting code used for each zone and trouble zone.
In some cases a reporting code may also be transmitted as the actual numerical value that is programmed
(ModBUS Remote) in which case the physical mapping will be done in the receiving system application.
ModBUS Remote allows the monitoring of large SCADA based systems using the Protege System without the
need to modify a new front end. For information on the ModBUS Slave and ModBUS Remote protocols refer to
Application Note AN-023 Protege Controller ModBUS Slave Configuration and Register Map which explains in
detail the operation of the ModBUS functions.
Area Reporting Codes
Area reporting codes are used to report the opening and closing of an area (arming and disarming) to the
central station receiver or monitoring station. These codes are predefined by the protocol that is being used.
Custom Reporting Codes
Custom reporting codes allow the zone type that is assigned to a zone to alter the reporting code that is being
used when reporting in Contact ID or in SIA formats.
CID (Contact ID)
Contact ID is a DTMF reporting protocol that uses a 3 digit account code and 3 digit reporting codes for each
alarm transmission type. It is also possible to assign a special code to the zone type being used for a specific
group of zones if needed. The custom types are shown in the table following the zone types assigned to each
module.
Zones are reported using the standard burglary codes.
Alarm / Open 130 (Burglary) (R For Restore)
Tamper 137 (Burglary Tamper) (R For Restore)
Bypass 570 (Zone Bypass) (R For Restore)
Contact ID Message Format
The format of the Contact ID message that is sent to the Monitoring Station receiver is static and does not
change from the standard specified SIA DC-05-1999.09 reorder code 14085.
The message composition is in the following form:
ACCT MT QXYZ GG CCC S
Where:
ACCT
MT
Q
4 Digit Account Number composed using the digits 0-9 and B-F.
Message Type. This two digit sequence is used to identify the Contact ID message to the receiver.
It may be transmitted as 18 (preferred) or 98 (optional). The Protege System Controller ONLY
transmits the 18 identifier.
Event Qualifier
1 = New Event or Opening
3 = New Restore or Closing
6 = Previously reported condition still present (Status Report)
