UDACT-9000 Digital Communicators Transmitter Module
Instruction Manual
Introduction and Features
UDACT-9000:
A single board Digital Communicator that can connect via an RS-485 Data Link
on a single ribbon cable to a Potter Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) such as
the PFC-9000. It can transmit Zoned Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble
information on two telephone lines.
T Communicates to a FACP via RS-485 Data Link (UDACT-9000 with applicable
Potter FACP’s).
T User Configurable with CFG-5000 Configuration Tool. This includes a
4-Line LCD Display and Keypad in a rugged metal enclosure, with a ribbon cable
to connect to the Communicator.
T Communicates to a Central Monitoring Station using Ademco Contact ID or
SIA DCS Protocols.
T The UDACT-9000 can transmit Zoned Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble
information on two telephone lines, when connected to a Potter Fire Alarm
Control Panel (FACP) such as the PFC-9000.
The UDACT-9000 continuously supervises the state of each of two connected Telco Lines (at approximately 1 minute intervals) by a Line-DC level measurement. If supervision fails, a Line #1 or Line #2 Trouble event will be reported. Once a Line has been restored, a Line Trouble Restored event will be reported. The product will always report events sorted in the order in which they are received / recognized. The UDACT-9000 is capable of reporting multiple events to a single Account number, within a single call session. Up to 3 retries, for a single message not yet reported, will be made within a single call-attempt. A failure to communicate to either or both Accounts will generate a corresponding event which will be queued for reporting.

FCC Notice:
Type of Service: The Communicator is designed to be used on standard
device telephone lines. It connects to the telephone line by means of a
standard jack called the USOC RJ-11C (or USOC FJ45S). Connection to telephone
company provided coin service (central office implemented systems) is
prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs.
Telephone Company Procedures: The goal of the telephone company is to
provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it may
occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their equipment,
operations or procedures. If these changes might affect your service or the
operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice, in
writing, to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted
service.
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone company to
request information from you concerning the equipment which you have connected
to your telephone line. Upon request of the telephone company, provide the FCC
registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN); both of these
items are listed on the equipment label. The sum of all of the REN’s on your
telephone lines should be less than five in order to assure proper service
from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be useable on
a given line.
If Problems Arise: If any of your telephone equipment is not operating
properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may
cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem,
they may temporarily discontinue service. When practical, they will notify you
in advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will
be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the
opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC. Contact your telephone company if you have any
questions about your phone line. In the event repairs are ever needed on the
Communicator, they should be performed by Potter Electric Signal Co. or an
authorized representative of Potter Electric Signal Co. For information
contact Potter Electric Signal Co. at the address and phone numbers shown on
the first page of this document.

System Configuration and Operation
The Potter Digital Communicator is configured by connecting the CFG-5000
Configuration Tool to P4 of the UDACT-9000 Main Board. Once connected, if no
text appears immediately on the LCD screen, hit any key on the numeric keypad.
The UDACT product supports two levels of restricted access to the
Configuration Mode which allows for parameter configuration and control of
operation. Each level is associated with a separate Passcode (up to 8-digit
numeric code) and may be individually modified. Once a user gains access to
the Configuration Mode, they are presented with a menu of selections according
to the level of access granted. The factory default Passcodes are:
| Level I | – OPERATOR | “11111111” |
|---|---|---|
| Level II | – INSTALLER | “22222222” |
A Restore-to-Factory-Defaults can be initiated from the CFG-5000 without
having to first access program mode, by using the special Passcode …
Restore-to-Factory-Defaults “12345678” (Do Not use this passcode as a Level I
or Level II passcode)
NOTE: When reviewing the configuration (account numbers, etc.) DO NOT hit
the # key, use the * key to exit. Hitting the # key when reviewing the
configuration will delete the existing data. This “deleting” feature is
required when entries need to be removed; example 1-800 number changed to a
local number.

Reporting Formats
The UDACT-9000 works by eavesdropping on status communication messages within the PFC-9000 fire alarm system. As a consequence of this method of operation, the UDACT-9000 reports events slightly differently depending upon whether it is eavesdropping on a PFC-9000 or other conventional fire alarm system. Use command Item Number 54 to select FX for PFC-9000 reporting. The following section explains the individual reports generated by the UDACT-9000 when connected to a PFC-9000.
PFC-9000 Reporting Format
Addressable Protocol Only:
For UDACT-9000 use with an PFC-9000 Addressable Fire Alarm Panel make sure
that the Addressable Protocol (FX) is selected by Item 54.
To view circuits and their internal circuit numbers, open the PFC-9000
Configurator program. Select the File menu and then Print Reports. Select the
job and double click. The menu will include UDACT MAPIP for inputs and UDACT
MAPOP for outputs. Selecting UDACT MAPIP or UDACT MAPOP will show Circuit
Number (CktNo), Loop Number (LoopNo) and Device Address (DevAddr).
When connected to a PFC-9000, the UDACT-9000 reports all input circuits
regardless of type by their respective internal input circuit number. For
example, Loop 1 address 1 will not report to the Central Station as Circuit 1.
These input circuit numbers are unique and within the fire panel are
automatically numbered sequentially from 0 to N [where (N+1) is the total
number of conventional input circuits plus addressable devices configured for
the panel]. The base panel with 127 points will report address 127 as address
128 (127 loop circuits + 1).
Similarly, output circuits regardless of type are reported by their respective
internal output circuit number. Output circuit numbers are unique and within
the panel are automatically numbered sequentially from 0 to N(where (N+1) is
the total number of output circuits plus output addressable devices configured
for the panel). Since common troubles for which no zone identifier is
meaningful use zone 0, the UDACT-9000 translates all internal circuit numbers
by adding 1. Therefore, if for example, an alarm is received on internal input
circuit number 3 the UDACT-9000 will report at the central station as an alarm
on zone 4. Similarly, an alarm received on internal input circuit number 4
will be reported at the central station as an alarm on zone 5. Additionally,
for the same PFC-9000 fire panel, if there is a trouble on internal output
circuit 6, the UDACT-9000 will report a trouble on output zone 7 at the
central station.
