ADEMCO VA8201

Alpha Pager Module

INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE

GENERAL INFORMATION

The ADEMCO VA8201 Alpha Pager Module (APM)

provides:

• Communication between the control panel and an alpha

paging service center.

• Data transfer to a parallel printer via the APM’s

parallel output.

• Data transfer to PCs with IBM Home Automation

Protocol or a serial printer via the APM’s serial output.

NOTE: The paging feature of the VA8201 may not work

with all alpha paging service centers. Data transfer

features between the control and printers will still function

even if the paging feature does not.

The APM transmits alphanumeric messages to the paging

service using Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP). The

installer should check with the paging service to ensure

they are using TAP protocol Rev. 1.8.

The types of messages that can be transmitted are security

control panel dependent. The APM sends alphanumeric

messages to the paging service when a programmed security

control panel initiates an event report.

Refer to the Ademco Security Control Panel Installation and

Setup Guide for the types of messages available and for

event report programming.

INSTALLING THE VA8201 APM

The VA8201 APM is installed sharing the same telephone

line as the security system control panel. In this

configuration, conditions that are programmed to report to

both the central station and the alpha pager will report to

the central station first. When a parallel printer is

connected to the parallel printer output of the APM, the

security system control sends its event data to the printer

before it sends the APM messages to the pager service or

the Home Automation Computer.

MOUNTING AND WIRING THE VA8201 APM

Mount the VA8201 APM next to the security system control

panel using bracket interface Ademco Part Number K5350.

Wire the VA8201 APM’s four flying leads (DATA/POWER)

and TELCO connections (TO LINE and TO PHONE) to

security system control and premises handsets. Wire the

VA8201 APM in accordance with Figure 1. Use appropriate

ADEMCO accessories (or equivalent) to make system

connections.

NOTE: To comply with FCC Class B (Residential)

requirements, the VA8201 APM must be mounted in a

grounded metal enclosure.

PROGRAMMING

Refer to the Programming section of the Installation and

Setup Guide for your control on how to program phone

numbers, Alarms, and Trouble Reports when using the

Alpha Pager Module.

NOTE: Prior to programming the VISTA control for use

with the APM and paging device(s), verify the correct access

and PIN number to be used with each receiving device.

Entering an incorrect access or PIN number will render the

pager inoperable for alarm panel reporting.

“FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) Part 68 NOTICE”

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the front cover of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information,

the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the

telephone company.

This equipment uses the following jacks:

An RJ11 is used to connect this equipment to the telephone network.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may

result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To

be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to

determine the maximum REN for the calling area.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of

service may be required. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be

advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it to be necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment.

If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications in order to maintain

uninterrupted service.

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact the manufacturer for repair and warranty information. If the trouble is causing

harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request you remove the equipment from the network until the problem is resolved.

There are no user serviceable components in this product, and all necessary repairs must be made by the manufacturer. Other repair methods

may invalidate the FCC registration on this product.

This equipment cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin service. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs.

This equipment is hearing-aid compatible.

When programming or making test calls to an emergency number, briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. Perform such activities

in the off-peak hours; such as early morning or late evening.

“FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) Part 15 STATEMENT”

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy; and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction

manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful

interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

FOR WARRANTY INFORMATION, AND LIMITATIONS OF THE ENTIRE ALARM SYSTEM, REFER TO THE INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CONTROL WITH WHICH THIS DEVICE IS USED.
