Installing Line Cards
Caution
To reduce the risk of electrical shock and/or damage
to the receiver, follow these steps in order.
1. Open the CS-5000's front panel by unscrewing the four front plate retaining screws
located on the front of the panel (Figure 3-1).
2. Turn off the CS-5000’s AC power switch (Figure 3-2).
3. When the front panel is removed, you can see that there are 12 slots for line cards. The
receiver recognizes each slot by number 1 through 12 (slot one is closest to the keypad and
display). It is not necessary to put line cards in numbered order because the receiver continually polls each slot to see if existing line cards are functioning and if it is still in its
slot. The receiver also looks to see if a new line card has been added. Figure 3-6 shows
line card placement.

How to Verify Earth Ground
To verify earth ground at the AC outlet from which the CS-5000 receiver is powered, use the
following steps:
1. Measure the AC voltage between the center ground post and each side of the outlet.
On a 120 VAC outlet:
•
•

Ground post to larger hole (A) should give a nominal reading.
Ground post to smaller hole (B) should give a reading of 110 to 120 VAC.

If the voltage on A is not nominal, the outlet does not have proper ground.
If the voltage on B is not 110 to 120 VAC, the outlet is incorrectly connected.
On a 220 VAC outlet:
•
•

Ground post to left hole (A) should give a reading of 110 to 120 VAC.
Ground post to right hole (B) should give a reading of 110 to 120 VAC.

If A and B voltage measurements are not equal, the outlet does not have a proper earth
ground or one of the wires is incorrectly connected.

2. Ground the outlet by running a solid wire (14 gauge or larger) to a good earth ground such
as a metal water pipe or ground rod.
The wire should be of equal or greater diameter to the wires used to feed the outlet. It may
be necessary to have a licensed electrician ground the outlet.

Com “Serial Communication” Ports 1 & 2
A standard null modem cable can be used to connect com port 1 or 2 to another serial device
such as a printer or a PC. Com port one is the only serial communications port that can be
used with the automation computer (see Section 8, “Automation Communication Formats”).
Figure 3-15 and Figure 3-16 shown the pin-outs for a null modem cable. See
“Communications” in Section 5 to configure the ports.

Computer Port Baud Rate Selection
The computer (Com) port baud rate is selectable from 110 to 19200 (see Table 5-6).

Direct Panel Connection
Any panel can be connected directly to a CS-5000 line card when wired as shown in
Figure 3-17. The line card monitors the loop voltage and goes off-hook when the voltage
across the loop drops below four volts. The card will then output 440 Hz for three seconds to
simulate a dial tone for the panel. This is done because some panels have dial-tone detection
and will not start the dialing sequence until a dial tone in detected. The panel doesn’t need to
dial any digits–it can simply wait for the receiver to output the proper handshake and then
start sending data.
Loop supervision is accomplished by sampling the loop current at programmed intervals. The
sample interval and direct connection mode is programmed in the Line Option display menu
(see “Line Card Menu” in Section 5).

the Operation Mode” in the Section 5.
Note: Any time the main power switch is turned off the time and date will have to be reprogrammed on power-up.

Logging On and Off
Persons operating the CS-5000 must log on and off the system. This is a way of keeping track
of who is operating the system at any given time. You can program a total of 40 codes. Each
code will be assigned to one of two user profiles—installer profile or operator profile. (See
“Default User Codes” in Section 4.)

Installer Profile
The Installer profile will have access to all options on the main menu.

Operation

Modes of Operation
This section describes the receiver’s normal and programming modes of operation and the
options available.

Normal Mode
Normal mode consists of three options; one if the receiver is intended to be used with an
automation system, one for manual operation, and one to just log the events without manual
acknowledgments or automation communication.

Manual Operation
Requires a manual acknowledgment of each call or event from an operator.
How to Manually Acknowledge Calls:
When the call pending LED is flashing and the on-board annunciator is beeping:
1. Press the STAR/HOME button to display the oldest event that has not been acknowledged.
2. Press the ACK button to acknowledge the call.
3. Repeat step 2 until all calls are acknowledged and the display shows No More Data.

Automatic Operation
Event information is sent directly to the automation computer.
Note: If the automation system fails, the receiver will automatically switch to manual mode in less than 30
seconds. The switching time is twice the value set in Ack Timeout (Table 5-6). The receiver will return to
automatic mode after communication to the automation computer is restored.

Log Only
Log only mode will log event data without manual acknowledgments or communications with
the automation computer. All event information is intended for printer output.
Note: On initial power-up the receiver will default in manual operation. The receiver can be set to automatic or
log only operation in program mode.

Program Mode
In program mode all general, line card, and user profile options can be changed. See Section
5 for more detailed information on programming the receiver or refer to the Quick Chart in the
appendix for programming overview.

Operation

Listen-In and Hang Up
Note: See “UL Requirements” in Section 2 for UL requirements on listen-in.

This section explains how to operate the receiver for listen-in calls. Some panels that perform
listen-in send a listen-in indicator included in the reported message to the receiver. Any panel
that does not send this message must be added to the Listen-In Account List. (See “Listen-In”
in Section 5.)
When a listen-in call is received by the CS-5000, the LCD display will indicate the account
number and (depending on the panel) the listen-in timeout period. The listen-in LED on the
line card will be illuminated to confirm the line card indication.

Manual (Common) Listen-In Operation
Follow these steps to manually handle the listen-in call:

3 Telco Tip
4 Telco Ring

1. Press #/LISTEN button.
2. Enter the line card number.
3. Pick up the telephone the listen-in call is on. See Figure 4-22 for a diagram of how the listen-in phone should be connected (in parallel) with the phone line of the line card.
4. Perform the listen-in procedures for that panel (refer to panel operation manual).

Model CS-5000 Central Station Receiver Installation/Operation Manual

PBX Listen-In Operation
Prior to performing listen-in functions on a PBX phone line system the receiver must be set up
with the proper listen-in mode and PBX string. Refer to Section 5, “Operation Mode” and
“Listen-In” to properly program the receiver to handle PBX listen-in calls.

Testing the System
Important!
The CS-5000 should be tested regularly
to ensure complete and proper operation.

Because there are so many variations in dialer parameters and phone line conditions, the only
way to be absolutely certain that all subscribers can communicate with the CS-5000 is to test
every subscriber's dialer individually. Subscribers must test their communicators every 30
days to make sure the CS-5000 receives the information.
When you install a new CS-5000, test every manufacturers' panels for each format. This is
necessary because different manufacturers' panels may operate differently even if all panels
use the same format.

Handshake Sequence
Each line card is intelligent enough to determine what format is being sent from a reporting
panel. You only need to program the handshake order and parameters for each line card. A
line card will initiate up to six different types of handshake tone groups. The order in which
the receiver sends out these handshake signals can be changed in this program location for
each line card. Table 6-1 lists the proper handshake to use for the type of communication
format you are using with a panel.

Troubleshooting
This section contains a list of possible error messages and a troubleshooting process for each.

Error Messages
Table 7-1 lists the error messages that are displayed by the receiver as well as the message
sent to the printer.
There are two types of error messages that are displayed and printed; line card communication
errors, and system event errors. Line card communication errors relate specifically to how the
receiver communicated to an incoming call. System event errors relate specifically to the
system and the performance of its peripheral devices such as the automation software,
printers, etc.
In Table 7-1, heading “LC Error” indicates that the error message was a line card
communication error and “SYS Error” indicates any system event related error messages.

Safe Mode
Safe mode can be used to reset User #01 access code back to the default of 5000 regardless of
its present setting.
For example, if the code for the installer (User #01) is lost and additional programming is
required the receiver can be restarted in safe mode to return User #01 to an access code of
5000.
Follow these steps to initiate Safe Mode and default User code #01:
1. Follow the steps in “System Restart” in Section 4 to restart the receiver.
Note: All messages must be acknowledged before a system restart procedure can be performed. If all messages
are not acknowledged, cycle the receiver’s power to restart the system. If the power is cycled, all
unacknowledged messages will be lost.

Section 8
Automation Communication Formats
Introduction
The receiver supports several automation communication formats which are used to
communicate with an automation computer. The supported formats are:
•
•
•
•
•

SIA-CIS
SIA-2000 (pending)
ITI Generic
ITI Comp
ITI MeterMinder (Custom COM 2 Output)

The remainder of this section details these formats.

Section Terms and Conventions
This manual uses the term “automation computer” to refer to a computer that receives data
from the CS-5000 and interprets it through software that automates the central station.
A “message” is any data the CS-5000 is passing to an automation computer. The term
“message” is reserved for discussions of the string as a whole.
A “Call from panel” refers to the complete data stream from a panel to the CS-5000.
“Event data” refers to the actual data (alarms, troubles, and so on) that are part of a call
from a panel. (In the SIA protocol, the event data is the part of the message that is contained within brackets [ ].)
A “system message” refers to messages the CS-5000 sends to an automation computer
about its internal status.
Hexadecimal values are used to refer to data (rather than the ASCII characters that represent the values). Hexadecimal numbers will be represented with a preceding $ symbol as
in “$0A”.

Four bytes. The sequence number of the message. Valid numbers are 0001-9999. Sequence numbers
repeat after 9999.

(includes total
length of
message)

Note:

A sequence # of "0000" is used for link test messages.

Receiver ID

13-14

Two bytes indicating the ID number of the receiver that is sending the message. Valid numbers are
01-99.

Line card
number

15-16

Two bytes indicating a line card number (01-12).

Note:

If the message is a system message (rather than a call from a panel), the data in this field will

be “$00”.
Open bracket

17

$5B indicates the beginning of event data.

Event Data

Variable,
beginning at
position 18.

Account numbers, alarms, modifier codes, system status messages, and so on. The CS-5000 can send
up to 128 bytes of data per message to the automation computer. The data is a call from a panel if it
has an account number and a system status message if it does not. The data field contains event data
if the message is a call from a panel and system data if the message is a CS-5000 system message.
The data is a link test if there is no data between the delimiting brackets ($5B and $5D) and the
sequence number is "0000".
If a message is a call from a panel, the first bytes after the open bracket will be $23 (ASCII “#”)
followed by a 4-8 digit account. A field separator $7C (ASCII “”), will separate the account number
from the first events.
If there is more than one event, each event is separated by $2F (ASCII “/”) or by $7C (ASCII "|").
Refer to SIA publication Digital Communication Standard, February 1995 Revision, for message
syntax.
Listen-in and Hang Up Requests
Requests originating from the panel:
In data sent to the CS-5000 by the panel, the event code “LF” indicates the beginning of a listen-in
session. “LE” indicates the end of listen-in. See Section 2, “Agency Requirements” for UL
requirement on listen-in.

Close bracket Variable,

$5D indicates end of event data.

Variable,

$0D is always the last character in a message. Even if the data is too large to be sent in one message,
1 byte in long the end of message indicator appears at the end of the partial message.
calls
If the message is to long to be contained in one line, a $7C (ASCII "|") will precede the end of
message indicator. In this case the header of the current message will be repeated in the second line
with the remaining data.

HeartBeat
The SIA CIS protocol supports a periodic HeartBeat message to be sent to the automation
computer. The HeartBeat message is used to verify the communication between the receiver
and the automation computer. The sequence number of the HeartBeat message is always
0000.

Communication from a Computer to the CS-5000
ACKing and NACKing Data
The computer must respond to messages sent by the CS-5000 with a response packet.
The computer must ACK a received block by responding with the acknowledge packet (see
Figure 8-5).

Figure 8-5 Sample ACK Message

The computer must NACK a received block by sending an ambiguous null response packet
(Figure 8-6).

8-9

Model CS-5000 Central Station Receiver Installation/Operation Manual

Figure 8-6 Sample NACK Message
Note: If the computer fails to respond to the receiver’s transmission within the timeout period, the packet will be
considered to be NACKED, and the NACK logic will be output on next page.

A specific null response is sent when the computer’s CRC agrees with the CRC sent in the
message and the general format of the message appears to be correct (for example, the last
byte is $0D).
An ambiguous null response is sent whenever the computer suspects an error in the
transmission of the message.
Note: Refer to SIA CIS documentation for their format information.

The CS-5000 ignores any other communication from the computer when it is awaiting
ACKing or NACKing.
Generally, after two ambiguous null responses or two timeout periods of no response from the
computer, the CS-5000 generates a “computer trouble” message.
•
•
•

If the computer sends a specific null response, the CS-5000 will send any additional data
in its buffer.
If the computer sends an ambiguous null response, the CS-5000 will immediately re-send
the data.
If the computer sends an ambiguous null response or 2 timeout periods a second time, the
CS-5000 will generate a computer trouble message and begin periodically sending the
"Link Test" message to test the channel for recovery.

Link Test
An ambiguous null response may be used to cause the receiver to send a link test to the
automation computer. The receiver normally treats the ambiguous null response as an
immediate time-out on any delay and transmits the next unacknowledged message. If the
receiver has no unacknowledged message to transmit, the receiver will respond to the
ambiguous null response with a link test message.

Okay Record
When the automation computer sends a supervisory character to the CS-5000 receiver (or in
response to a heartbeat), the receiver will return with an Okay record.
Note: The supervisory character defaults to lower case “s” and is programmable. (See “Communications” in
Section 5.)

The following is an example of an Okay record:

Predefined okay record string. The predefined okay record string is
automatically set when ITI Generic format is chosen to communicate with
automation computer.

<$0D>

End of record indicator (carriage return).

ACKing and NACKing Data
After the end of message byte (<0Dh>) is sent by the receiver, the automation computer will
respond with an ACK (<$06>) or NACK (<$15>). This response can be delayed between 1
byte time (depending on the baud rate) and the ACK timeout period. (See “Communications”
in Section 5.)
If the receiver doesn’t get an ACK within the ACK timeout period or receive a NACK from
the automation computer, it will re-transmit the data.
After two NACKs or two ACK time-outs, the receiver will generate a Computer Trouble
message. When a computer trouble message is generated, the receiver will continually send a
heartbeat until it receives an ACK from the automation computer. When communication is
restored, a Computer Trouble Restore message will be generated.

ITI Comp (Computer Interface) Format
ITI Computer Interface format consists of four types of records: report, test, supervisory, and
log (see Table 8-16).

General Record Structure
Each record begins with <"|["> field (see Table 8-16 for record identifiers) and
end with a <"]|"> field. Any fields within a record may be included in an
individual record as needed.
A record is made up of field of data (in varying lengths), and each field within a record begins
with a <"|"> character. The <"|"> is followed by a field identifying character. Individual field
identifiers are unique to the specific record where they are contained. For example, an |L field
in a report record has a different meaning than an |L field of a test record and so on. There is
no specific order to the fields of a record, with the exception that it will begin with the record
type and end with a checksum/control field.
After the checksum/control field, each record is terminated with a carriage return (<$0D>).

Checksum/Control Field
The last field of every record is the checksum/control field. This field contains an upper case
letter followed by four ASCII hexadecimal digits. Contained in these five characters are three
controls to help guarantee data integrity between the receiver and the automation computer.
The first control is the Sequence Control Character (SCC). This is a letter code which cycles
from "A" to "Z" continually, changing successively with each new record transmitted.
Note: If the receiver has to repeat a record in response to a NACK from the automation computer, the same SCC
is sent both times.

The first digits sent (following the SCC) are the two least significant digits of an additive
checksum for the record from the first "|" character up to and including the SCC.
(See Table 8-25.)
The last two digits in the record are an XOR checksum. The XOR checksum starts with a
value FFh. This value is XORed against the first byte in the record. The result is XORed
against the next byte and so on, up through the SCC. (See Table 8-25.)

Commands Initiated by the Automation Computer
Typically all communications are initiated by the receiver, however, there are several
commands available to the automation computer to control or request information from the
receiver. The automation computer may send these requests only when the receiver is not
transmitting data to the automaton computer.
The following sub-sections show the message format that must be sent from the automation
computer to the receiver in order that these command requests function properly.
The receiver will respond to these requests from the automation computer with one of the
following messages:

Common Listen-in Extend/End Request
During a listen-in operation if the call requires additional time you can extend the listen-in
period by sending an extend request. At the end of a listen-in call you can end the session by
sending an end request.
Some control panels send a listen-in period included in the reported message to the receiver.
If the listen-in period is not sent from the control panel, the programmed listen-in period will
be used. (See “Listen-In” in Section 5.

Appendix D-4

Appendix E
Automation Output Version Control
The CS-4000 receiver used a channel command option called VERSION to control the output
of new Event codes to the automation computer. The CS-5000 uses the version control
feature on the automation configuration menu to help coordinate the reporting abilities of the
CS-5000 with that of the automation computer software.
The CS-5000 version control feature defaults to 6.1. Version 6.1 outputs the same codes as
the CS-4000 software version 6.1 and does not include any new event codes.
When the automation computer software is updated to support the new codes, change the
version control feature to 6.2. (To change the version, see “Setting Automation
Communication” in Section 5.) Version 6.2 allows the new event codes to be sent to the
automation software, which in turn will display the event. Once the version control feature is
set to 6.2, the CS-5000 is able to send 8 new event codes.

Interpreting 3-Digit User Codes and Zone Numbers
To meet Contact ID and SIA reporting standards, the CS-5000 version control feature 6.2
combines the user and zone bytes. The combination of bytes allows 3-digit zone and user
numbers to be displayed.
This applies only to Contact ID and SIA formats—all other reporting formats send user and
zone information as before.
Whether the number represents user information or zone information is determined by the
type of event.

Appendix E-1

Model CS-5000 Central Station Receiver Installation/Operation Manual

Panel ID Characters
The CS-5000 identifies Contact ID, SIA-DCS, and SIA-2000 reporting formats with three
panel ID characters (Table E-1).
PANEL ID
CHARACTER IDENTIFIES
REPORTING FORMAT

1 B 1 # 2 3 4 5 0 1 2 5 A
3 DIGITS REPRESENT
USER OR ZONE INFORMATION

Figure E-1 Panel ID Signals Use of Three Digits

The appearance of any of these panel ID characters in the report record serves as a signal that
the 3-digit number is utilizing bytes 10, 11, and 12 for either user or zone information.

When Zone Information is Represented
The 3 digits represent zone information in all cases except Opening or Closing reports.
If:
•

the panel ID character is #, %, or &, and

•

the event code of the Generic output is anything but an opening or closing report, then

the three digits represent zone information.
CONDITION CODE IS NOT

The example above shows an alarm received from a panel using the Contact ID format. The
three digits represent zone 172.

Appendix E-2

Automation Output Version Control

When User Information is Represented
The only instance in which the three digits will represent user information is in the case of
Opening or Closing reports.
If:
•

the version control feature of the CS-5000 is set to 6.2, and

•

the panel ID character is #, %, or &, and

•

the event code of the Generic output is C (Closing) or O (Opening), then

the three digits represent user information.
CONDITION CODE IS A

Figure E-3 Three Digits Representing User Information

The example above shows a closing report received from a panel using the SIA format. The
three digits represent user 112.

Signs of Incompatibility
Problems can arise if the CS-5000 version control feature does not match the automation
computer software:
•

Only the last two digits of a 3-digit zone number will be interpreted.

•

User information will not be interpreted correctly.

Appendix E-3

Model CS-5000 Central Station Receiver Installation/Operation Manual

Reporting Format Codes
Table E-3 and Table E-4 give comprehensive information regarding SIA-DCS and Contact ID
data codes.
Each table:
•

lists all the SIA-DCS (Table E-3) or Contact ID (Table E-4) data codes and a short description of each.

•

indicates which data codes ITI panels send.

•

indicates which data codes the Caddax panel sends.

•

lists the condition code in the Generic output stream for each data code.

•

lists the condition codes in the ITICOMP output stream for each data code.
