The SA-DACT plugs directly into the panel's main board and reports every system event — alarm, supervisory, trouble, disable, test, and monitor — to a central station over standard phone lines, with dual-line support so the report goes out split or duplicated across two accounts.
Built for the commercial fire installer
Installation is a ribbon-cable connection to the main board's dialer slot, no external enclosure or separate power supply to run. The onboard modem also handles panel configuration upload/download and history retrieval from a PC running the configuration utility over line 1, so service calls that need a full config pull don't require pulling the panel apart.
