The RJ31X provides a convenient connection allowing the DACT to be installed and removed without requiring re-wiring and can be installed by the telephone installer.
If installed in Canada, the signal receiving centre must not share a common communication channel with the protected premises. A dedicated line must be installed for use only by the FCA2015-U1.
Either of the two lines at X300 or X301 can be disabled using the Engineering Configuration tool for the case where the dialer is connected to an alarm communicator that is capable of transmitting with two separate technologies (ex. GSM and POTS). Consult the installation instructions for the communicator to determine if it supports this capability.

NOTES:
- The DACT can be used with alarm communicators that also employ other transmission technologies for off-premises signaling for UL and ULC.
- When using these alarm communicators, the DACT shall be configured for Contact ID or SIA DCS. Please refer to the Compatible Alarm Communicators table.
- Refer to the Alarm Communicator Installation Instruction for compatible receivers.
- The use of a 3rd Party communicator may require Aux 24VDC from the FACP.
- Use of 3rd party communicator for UL:
- As sole communication path, maximum supervision window is 60 min.
- As 2nd path for DACT, maximum supervision window is six hours
- Use of 3rd party communicator for ULC:
- As sole Active Communication path, maximum supervision window is 180 seconds.
- Work with DACT as 2nd Passive Communication path, maximum supervision window is 24 hours.
- Refer to the installation instructions for the external communicator for specific power requirements and include with the system battery calculations to ensure adequate secondary power.
- Wiring between the DACT and the alarm communicator shall be within 20 feet, and in conduit for US, and within 18 meters in metallic conduit for Canada.
- All compatible Alarm Communicators shall be installed in accordance with their installation instructions.
- A means must be provided for detection of faults on the communicator by the fire alarm panel, as described in the installation instructions for the communicator. This is typically done by connecting a trouble-activated relay or PGM output on the communicator to an input switch module (i.e. HTRI).
- For ULC Passive Communication, the TL300CF and LE4010-CF communicators must be wired as shown in the following diagrams.
