BAT-Connect: DSC Programming

  1. Set up an account in the AlulaConnect portal.
  2. Add the MASTER CODE to the primary account user before connecting the BAT-Connect. This is required for the BAT-Connect to be able to properly configure the system settings.
  3. Disarm the system (all partitions).
  4. Enter panel programming mode using the installer code and program the following:

Note: DSC Power Series panels may use different programming locations or the option may not be available. Always refer to the installation manual of the specific panel for programming locations and options

  • Enable Communicator ([380]:[1])
  • Enter a Telephone Number ([301])
  • Enter Account Number ([310])
  • Verify 1st Telephone Number is enabled in Call Direction Options ([351]-[376])
  • Verify Master Code Not Changeable is Disabled ([015]:[6])
  • Verify Access Code Required for *1, *2, *3 menus is disabled ([022]:[1])
  • Verify that keypad lockout is either zero (disabled) or higher than 6 ([012])
  • If you have removed any bus devices, perform a Module Supervision Reset ([902])
  • Set Communicator Format to Contact ID ([350])
  • Verify the panel is properly set up for Contact ID event reporting
  • To enable reporting of the Period Test Transmission, program the “Periodic Test
    Transmission” ([348]:[4]) and the “Periodic Test Transmission with Trouble” ([348]:[3]) reporting codes to “02”(optional)

Note: if installing the PC-Link cable for uDownloader, verify T-Link is enabled.

  1. Exit programming mode and power down the DSC system.
  2. Connect the DSC system and the BAT-Connect as shown in the wiring diagram on the next page.
  3. Power up the DSC system.

The DSC control panel will begin automatic configuration. Panel keypads will be
unavailable during this time.

  1. Verify proper operation and reporting of all event codes using your control panel’s installation manual.

Note: During normal operation, BAT-Connect will occasionally use the panel bus for some system tests. Typically, this lasts for 5-6 seconds. During this time, panel keypads will be unavailable.

  • DSC control panels require connection to panel bus and Tip & Ring.
  • Tip & Ring should not be wired to BAT-Connect using the same multi-conductor cable as the panel bus wiring. Tip & Ring should be in a separate cable.
  • See below for supported DSC panels. If DSC panel is not listed, please contact Alula Support.
