Description
The DACT-5000 Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter allows the PFC-5000
series fire alarm control panel to call a Central Station and report a local
Fire Alarm, Trouble Condition or Supervisory Condition (except PFC-5002). When
properly installed with two phone lines, the DACT-5000 supervises the lines
and can be programmed with the Security Industry Association (SIA) Digital
Communications Standard (DCS) or the Ademco Contact ID protocols. The
DACT-5000 mounts directly to the PFC-5000 series cabinet and is powered
directly from the main fire alarm panel. The CFG-5000 Configuration Tool is
required to program the DACT-5000.
