General

The Universal Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter

(UDACT) is designed for use on the Notifier NFS-320, NFS2-

640, NFS2-3030, NFS-640 and NFS-3030 Fire Alarm Control

Panels and on the NCA-2 and NCA Network Control Annunci-

ator. When used in conjunction with the NCA-2 network con-

trol annunciators the UDACT can report the status of all control

panels on NOTI•FIRE•NET™. The UDACT transmits system

status to UL listed Central Station Receivers via the public

switched telephone network.

NOTE: The UDACT can also be used with legacy panels. Please
refer to the UDACT manual for more information.

The UDACT is compact in size and may be mounted externally

in a separate cabinet. EIA-485 annunciator communications

bus and regulated 24-volt connections are required.
The UDACT is capable of transmitting the status of software

zones (Alarm and Trouble), System Trouble, Panel Off-Normal,

Supervisory, Bell Trouble, Low Battery, and AC Fail. The

UDACT is capable of transmitting all of the zone and point sta-

tus associated with each panel.
When the UDACT is used with the , NFS-3030, NFS2-3030,

and NCA-2 it is capable of reporting up to 2,040 points.

Reporting may be in the form of points or zones (refer to the

UDACT manual for specific reporting parameters). The first

568 points transmitted may be programmed for a variety of

types, including fire, waterflow, supervisory, etc. Remaining

points transmitted are for fire alarm only.

NOTE: Descriptions regarding point capacity, listed above, are for
receivers which receive in Ademco Contact ID format. See chart
on page 2 for compatible receivers.
