How to change the Site Identification Phrase in the RFC-1/B

The RFC-1/B identifies itself when it answers the telephone or places a call to alert personnel of an alarm condition. The phrase that the RFC-1/B delivers is programmable so that sites can be uniquely identifed. When shipped from the factory it is programmed with the phrase "This is RFC-1/B".

  • the Site ID Phrase may contain up to 6 words/phrases from the word table
  • each word is identified by a code consisting of two values (referred to as V1 and V2)

The Site ID Phrase can be programmed with any combination of words, letters or numbers from the table. There are two special conditions involving only word 6, the final word in the phrase.

  • if programmed with 10-9, the RFC-1 omits the "enter" prompt when it answers a call
  • if programmed with 10-8, the RFC-1 pauses two extra seconds before it says "enter"

The programming address table in Appendix A provides a list of all the memory address and their functions. The Site ID phrases occupies addresses 0984-0995 in the table.

Programming instructions are located either in Section 6 of the Installation and Operation manual or in Note 3 of Section 12 in the Software Instruction Book (for earlier systems).To simplify the programming task, the form on this page can generate appropriate values for programming and generate programming instructions.

Enter the requested information in the areas below . The values and adresses will be calculated and displayed at the bottom of the form. Information should update automatically but some browsers will require you to press Tab or Enter to generate a response. This page requires a JavaScript cablable browser.

Word 1: (select a word from the list)
This will be the first word of the site identification phrase.


Word 2: (select a word from the list)
This will be the second word of the site identification phrase.


Word 3: (select a word from the list)
This will be the third word of the site identification phrase.


Word 4: (select a word from the list)
This will be the fourth word of the site identification phrase.


Word 5: (select a word from the list)
This will be the fifth word of the site identification phrase.


Word 6: (select a word from the list)
This will be the last word of the site identification phrase.


Results: (program the RFC-1/B)
Program the following values into the address' shown for the words/phrase selected above.

    At memory address 0984 program value:

    At memory address 0985 program value:

    At memory address 0986 program value:

    At memory address 0987 program value:

    At memory address 0988 program value:

    At memory address 0989 program value:

    At memory address 0990 program value:

    At memory address 0991 program value:

    At memory address 0992 program value:

    At memory address 0993 program value:

    At memory address 0994 program value:

    At memory address 0995 program value:

  

It is extremely important to press * and exit programming mode as soon as the final value is entered. The memory address just after the Site ID Phrase (0996) controls a hardware setting that will cause the RFC-1 to seize the telephone line indefinately when programmed incorrectly. Here are the instructions to correct this problem.
