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.
