Waltham, Mass., February 2003 – Keltron Corporation, leading provider of life safety event management solutions, introduces the Serial Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (SDACT). This unique solution enables a more accurate emergency response by accepting RS-232 data from the printer port of an intelligent addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) or from other serial data sources, and converting it to standard, digital-receiver compatible format.
A major benefit of the SDACT is that it provides a remedy for today’s FACPs that cannot support point-specific fire and security alarm information to an on- or off-site central digital receiver through the dial-up public switched telephone network or PSTN. “This facilitates a precise strategic response to identifying those events and their locations and when lives and security are at stake, every second counts,” said Steve Sargent, director of sales for Keltron.
The SDACT is compatible with any FACP with an RS-232 output port and for which Keltron has personality-matched software. The SDACT converts the RS232 data to SIA format, which is widely accepted by DACRs including those manufactured by Keltron. SIA format facilitates annunciation of the account number, point or zone number, and an event or detector type at the receiver.
Once connected to an FACP, the SDACT accepts the data, dials the Digital Alarm Communicator Receiver (DACR) and transmits addressable point- and event-specific data to the DACR for annunciation.
