The above report is the UDACT Map IP report that illustrates how the UDACT 9000 will report to the monitoring station.
The Ckt No is the circuit number for the internal addressing in the system. The panel selects the circuit number automatically and
chronologically in the order that the equipment was entered into the configuration software. The circuit numbers start at number 0.
Since the communication protocols require a zone number associated with each event, Potter chose to assign all common system
troubles as zone 0. Since number 0 is used as a common trouble and since the circuit numbers start at number 0, a 1 had to be
added to the circuit number that is transmitted to the monitoring station. The circuit number plus 1 is the UDACT Ref number.
This is the number that is sent to the monitoring station, not the address number. Notification circuit information is treated and
transmitted the same way. Therefore the monitoring station needs the UDACT MapIP and UDACT MapOP reports to be able to
cross reference the information received into the actual address of the activated device. A copy of these reports should also be left
in or posted near the fire panel.
