Annunciator Control System

DN-60686:A1

General

The Universal Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (UDACT-

2) is designed for use on Notifier Fire Alarm Control Panels and

on the NCA-2 Network Control Annunciator. When used in con-

junction with the NCA-2 network control annunciator, the

UDACT-2 can report the status of all control panels on

NOTI•FIRE•NET™. The UDACT-2 transmits system status to UL

listed Central Station Receivers via the public switched tele-

phone network. The UDACT-2 can be installed in the panel cab-

inet or remotely in a separate enclosure.
NOTE: The UDACT-2 can also be used with legacy panels.
Please refer to the UDACT-2 manual for more information.

The UDACT-2 upload/download programming and firmware

updates are accomplished with VeriFire Tools. Refer to the Pro-

gramming Section for further details.
The UDACT-2 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-2 is capable of transmitting all of the zone and point sta-

tus associated with each panel.
When the UDACT-2 is used with the NFS-3030, NFS2-3030,

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

ing may be in the form of points or zones (refer to the UDACT-2

manual for specific reporting parameters). Points transmitted

may be programmed for a variety of types, including fire, water-

flow, supervisory, etc.
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.

Programming

The UDACT-2 programming is created and downloaded using

VeriFire Tools. This enables the unit to be programmed prior to

installation, be easily modified, and saved either online or

offline. A printed report with point or zone information can be

generated from VeriFire Tools for an ONYX Series panel or net-

work annunciator. The point report consists of the central station

point address, ACS point, ACS point function, panel label, panel

point, type code, custom and extended label, alarm verification,

walktest participation, presignal, and PAS information. The zone

report consists of a grid with the central station point address,

ACS point address, source, ACS point function, custom label

and panel label. This report may be sent to the Central Station

for their records. VeriFire Tools also supports upgrading the

UDACT-2 operating firmware.
