   U.L. Verifications:

    

 

ARC's U.L. Certificate #:  S8196 (UUFX)

    Tip:  ALWAYS verify that a central station claiming to be U.L. certified is actually certified and holds a current certificate. Some central stations CLAIM to be U.L. and are not certified at all. Placing accounts in such a central can spell big trouble for subscribers or dealers who require a U.L. central. EASY VERIFICATION:  Go to: www.ul.com and click on Certifications or "Online Certifications Directory". If you have any doubts, telephone U.L. and ask (website should open in a new browser window).

BULLETIN:  ALERT 


DO NOT USE CID OR OTHER DTMF FORMATS

 

    Based upon what we have been made aware of and considering the facts, ARC recommends that you do not use Contact ID or other DTMF formats in your panel communications. It is recommended that you use the slower Pulsed Formats such as 3/1, 4/2 and SIA.

    A good number of telephone carriers are now or soon may be using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) for part of their transmissions between their central offices. In an article written by Joan and David Engebretson titled A Gathering Storm (published on SDM’s website July 29, 2004) they discuss the problems that have already occurred and what potential problems lie ahead. They suggest solutions, too.

      At ARC we have already seen that CID does not transmit reliably on VoIP. This is why VoIP and other emerging technologies were the main topic of the ARC Dealer Meeting on December 9, 2004 and followed up in 2005, 2006, and will continue to be addressed. During this meeting and since then we have introduced available options at ARC for dealing with this and other technological changes.
