Technical Notes

COM 1, COM 2 and COM 3 on the panel can all be used with the DualCom Pro.

If the Texecom Premier Elite panel also has a SmartCom module then a ComPort Adapter may be required to provide a third com port for use with the DualCom Pro TTL connection.

If this was not provided with the SmartCom module, these can be sourced from the distributors in packs of five (Part Code JAL-001).

Line fault reporting is through the serial interface. No extra settings are required in either the panel or the DualCom Pro.

Only SIA alarm format is supported.

DualCom Pro to Panel Wiring

Connect the 5 pin header of the provided cable to the selected COM port on the panel and the wires to the DualCom Pro as detailed below.

RTN Green Wire
TTL-R Blue Wire
TTL-T Red Wire

 

Different panel models have varying numbers of COM ports and in different positions on the board. Please refer to the manufacturer’s documentation to locate the appropriate COM port.

Installing The Plug-On Com Port Adapter


These can be ordered from distributors (Part Code JAL-001) and provide a 3rd COM port for when the first two are being used by Texecom’s SmartCom module.

Ensure the adapter is correctly installed with pin 1 matching on both the adapter and the control panel (this is normally signified by the red stripe on the ribbon cable).

Troubleshooting

  • “ATS path fail com 1” refers to a communication path issue. This can be disabled via the following steps:
    • Select Global Options > Monitor Hardware > Turn off P - ATS Path faults
    • Select Area Programming > Options > ATS Path Faults - deselect all areas
    • Select UDL/Digi Options > Com Port Set up > On board Digicom needs to be set to ‘nothing fitted'.
  • Do not use any special characters within Area or Zone descriptions, this causes SIA alarm events to corrupt.
  • Panels with firmware version 2.09 have COM Port Issues. Please upgrade to firmware 2.09.01 or later.
  • Panels with firmware version 3.0x require COM Port 1 to be enabled in Protocol Options. Under ‘Program Digi' Menu > Config 2 > Set to use comm port 1.
    • If only Com port 2 or 3 is available: Make sure the baud rate (modem speed) is set to 19200.
  • If certain PA restores are not coming through, please ensure that within Area Programming, option 21 (Unarmed Tamper/ Fault Comms) is turned ON.
