It comes in a red surface-mount enclosure and occupies two POTS (plain old telephone service) lines for primary and backup communications. The unit monitors line voltage, seizes the line if needed, sends centrally-station-formatted signals (Contact ID protocol) for alarms, troubles, supervisories and AC power loss, and provides LED status indicators for connectivity and fault conditions. Key Features: Dual Telephone-Line Support: Provides primary and backup line paths for reliable central station reporting. Contact ID Protocol Compliance: Supports prevailing central-station reporting format for fire alarm communications. Line Seizure Capability: Automatically seizes the local phone line to ensure prompt reporting over POTS. Line-Voltage Monitoring: Detects loss or sag of the telephone line and reports as a trouble condition. Compatible Panel Support: Designed to interface out-of-the-box with Notifier ONYX/INSPIRE and Gamewell-FCI E3/S3 panels. LED Status Indicators: Front panel LEDs show Lost Panel Connection, Central Station Handshake Signal and Communication Failure. Compact Surface Mount Enclosure: Housed in a red cabinet, external to the fire alarm panel, for ease of installation. Comprehensive Event Reporting: Reports alarms, troubles, supervisory signals, NAC trouble, panel off-normal, and AC power loss. UL/ETL and FCC Approvals: Electro-mechanical listing to UL 864 standard and FCC ID compliance for telecom interface. Seismic Mounting-Capable: Accepts seismic mounting hardware for installation in IBC/IBC-zone locations when required. The HON-DACT-DS DS Dialer delivers the required communication reliability and compatibility for monitored fire alarm installations.
