The D7212 Control/Communicator can monitor two phone lines simultaneously and store events and modifiers from up to eight areas in its event log.
Weekly battery tests will automatically be run and, should it fail, new batteries must be purchased as replacements must be found as soon as possible.
The D128 Module adds an additional telephone line monitor for use with the D7212. This module is highly recommended in applications that meet or exceed NFPA 71 Central Station Protective Signaling or 72 Household Fire Warning requirements.
Power
This panel requires AC power at terminals 1 and 2. Please make sure that the reset pin is secured down securely.
The D7212 can monitor one or two phone lines simultaneously and control them in various ways. When receiving a message about an open or shorted loop, its alarm circuits will immediately operate to notify users; in addition, this system sends out PARAM FAIL messages for receivers for any lines monitored; should communication between these systems and receivers fail, its panel will simply silence its alarm buzzer while showing PASS indicators on-screen; see Program Entry Guide for point programming options of phone line monitoring with D7212.
The D128 Phone Line Switcher Module allows for monitoring a second phone line. Programmable off-board points (Command 54) can be assigned as primary or secondary phone lines, with up to 500 events and event modifiers stored separately from its main log on-board.
For information regarding how to program alarm functions, referring to the D7212 Program Entry Guide (74-0691 5-000). The D5200 programmer is capable of performing all functions except changing point numbers or deleting events; some changes require a system reset before taking effect.
It is highly recommended to perform a Fire Test (Command 58) weekly to verify proper AC power and battery operation, and a System Check (Command 72) on an ongoing basis in order to ensure all off-board points are connected as intended.
The D8129 OctoRelay makes adding relay outputs to your D7212 system easy with its eight relay outputs in groups of eight. Five switches allow you to designate which relay output is primary or secondary; each Form C dry contact offers.0A at 12 VDC for optimal contact performance. Furthermore, there’s even a reset output that activates when activating panel’s reset input; setting these switches before mounting into enclosure is recommended as per Installation of OctoPOPITs procedure for more details.
Idle Text
The idle text feature allows a panel to display messages when it isn’t busy, such as reminders for regular maintenance tests or alerts that batteries need replacing. Users can use commands to disable this feature at any time.
Radionics panels remain widely popular today and there is a dedicated collector community. These systems can be found both commercial and high security applications as well as residential settings; with years of proven quality products under its belt. There is something available that will meet every budget need and requirement!
An important feature to look for in a system is whether or not it offers datalock protection, preventing anyone from making changes without going through keypad or RPS programming. A number of panel models include 4112 and 6120 which support this feature while 5100/5200 programmers do support them; these programmers however don’t offer this protection feature.
This feature is ideal for home users who wish to keep an eye on their alarm system and monitor energy use and water leaks remotely. In addition, it allows renters and homeowners to feel secure about not having access to their properties. Finally, this feature enables users to keep an eye on energy usage and water leakage as well.
IDLE offers an advanced text editor with syntax highlighting, smart indentation and other helpful features, along with a debugger capable of stepping forwards or backwards and supporting persistent breakpoints – these tools make working on complex programming projects simpler.
IDLE provides users with additional benefits by showing line numbers as you type into its editor, making error identification and prevention much simpler – particularly helpful when working on complex programming projects.
If there is an issue, the panel displays a PARAM FAIL message on its display and emits a buzzer sound, and sends a report to its receiver. Pressing CMD 4 may silence this sound; alternatively you could unplug terminal J2 if not performing tests or repairs within 60 seconds.
Menus
Radionics system comes equipped with customizable features that can be tailored to meet your specific needs. It stores up to 500 events and event modifiers in its events log for easy review of both events that occurred on the panel as well as changes made by a user. You can even set the D7212 up so it sends email and fax alerts of alarms or trouble events.
D7212 panels allow users to connect up to eight areas, each with its own account number. The D1255 Alpha III Command Center provides full system control and annunciation; D1256 Fire Command Centers and Annunciators connect directly to D7212 panels via four-wire serial interface. They display system events using English text on highly visible blue vacuum fluorescent displays while also alerting responding agencies of any alarms or trouble with built-in sounders.
For programming the D7212, a PC-based RPS or RAM II remote programmer is needed, while you may also use either 5100/5200 handheld programmers for local programming of multiple panels. RAM II is more durable and easier to hold compared with its older predecessor 5100; its rugged design provides increased stability when programming.
The D7212 is UL listed and approved for both residential and commercial applications, by both California’s State Fire Marshal Office and New York City’s Material and Equipment Acceptance System.
The D7212 can store up to 500 events and event modifiers from each area in its event log, making it simple for you to view what happened on your panel and any modifications made using user keys. Furthermore, alarm and trouble history records can be kept for up to 24 months.
Functions
The D7212 control/communicator can monitor two phone lines simultaneously and dial up to four emergency telephone numbers programmably, among its many other functions outlined in its Programming Guide (74-0691 5-000).
This panel connects to your phone company using an RJ31 X jack and monitors all lines within. If a problem arises on any one of them, its CPU detects it and displays red LEDs to alert users. Furthermore, D7212 includes an audible ring indicator.
If an auxiliary or remote station is connected to the system, the D7212 detects and displays alarms and trouble conditions for areas that have been secured, then transmitting reports about any issues to both locations.
With the D128 module, it is possible to connect two phone line monitoring switches directly to the D7212. One switch on the D128 controls primary line; another controls secondary. Each phone line can support up to 240 sensors and 48 relays.
For additional information on the operation and features of the D128, refer to the D7212 Program Entry Guide (74-0691 5-000).
All SDI devices connected to the D7212 require ground at terminal 1 0. Any disruption at this location may lead to SDI devices reporting error reports that do not clear after you reset the D7212.
