There are 8 Digital Translation Tables (XLATs) (1 through 8). Each XLAT has 5 pages with 48 alarm event codes per
page for a total of 240 entries of Alarm Event Code to text translations; one for each possible 3-1 or 4-2 pulse coded
message. A maximum of 8 characters are available for each Alarm signal definition. The English text assigned to the
Alarm signal Event Code is only for display in the SC9000 computer record of events window and is not part of the Alarm
message sent to the Automation software. Each Digital XLAT can be used for a unique type of alarm panel or multiple
alarm panels that share common Alarm Event Codes.
The Alarm signal message from an alarm panel Dialer will include the alarm panel Account number, a 2-digit hexadecimal
code that reports an alarm or system condition, and the corresponding English text message as assigned in the Digital
XLAT table. The exception is DTMF formats for ADEMCO High Speed and Contact ID. These two formats have status or
event codes following the Dialer Account number and do not use the Digital XLAT. Example:
03/11 12:02:25 214 > (2345) 12 PANIC
First is date and time. The 214 is the Radio Communicator account number. The “2345” is the alarm panel Account
number, “ 12 “ is the alarm panel’s programmed alarm signal to transmit, , and “PANIC “ is the English text message
entered in the Digital Translation Table (XLAT) assigned to Radio Communicator account #214.
To Enter the Alarm Panel Signal Digital XLAT English Text:
•
Press the F3=System option from the System Status Menu Command Window. The System Configuration Menu will
be displayed. Then press the F2=Digital XLAT option from the System Configuration Menu Command Window. The

This completes the entering of Digital XLAT text procedures.
5.6. Entering SAFECOM Input Signal Definitions (Input Translation (Input XLAT) for
SC2104)
The Input Translation Table (XLAT) provides the reference for the plain text message description that is assigned to a
Radio Communicators input. The Input XLAT entry on the Radio Communicator account Setup Menu #2 for each SC2104
determines which line number in the Input XLAT table is referenced for the plain text message.
The Input Translation Table has 5 pages with 16 line numbers per page for a total of 80 line numbers. Each line provides
a maximum of 8 characters of text translation for Normal, Open, and Short Radio Communicator input states. The
corresponding text assigned to the Auxiliary Input is only for display at the SC9000 computer. It is not part of the Input
Event message sent to the Automation software.
Example for NORMAL: Input XLAT is set to 04. Line 04 text for “NORMAL” is PRS NORM to indicate a
pressure reading is within normal range. The record of events message: 03/11 12:02:25 0214 > PRS NORM:
input 1 and the Remote Status Menu: Input1: PRS NORM.
Example for OPEN: Input XLAT is set to 04. Line 04 text for “OPEN” is PRS HIGH to indicate a pressure
reading is outside of the normal range. The record of events message: 03/11 12:02:25 0214 > PRS HIGH:
input 1 and the Remote Status Menu: Input1: PRS HIGH.
Example for SHORT: Input XLAT is set to 04. Line 04 text for “SHORT” is PRS LOW to indicate a pressure
reading is inside the normal range. The record of events message: 03/11 12:02:25 0214 > PRS LOW: input 1
and the Remote Status Menu: Input1: PRS LOW.
To Enter the Input XLAT Text
•
Press the F3=System option from the System Status Menu Command Window. The System Configuration Menu will
be displayed. Press the F3=Input XLAT option from the System Configuration Menu Command Window. The Input
XLAT Menu will be displayed. Enter the alphanumeric characters in the field for the appropriate line number.
•
When the entries are completed press the ESC=Exit option from the command window. The operator prompt “Save
changes before exit? (depress ESC to continue editing)” will be displayed. Press the “ Y “ key.
This completes the entering of Input XLAT text procedures.
