I am receiving 2 daily test signals from the above panel. Notifier refuses to provide programming assistance, and the manual does not make it clear re: double reporting. Silent Knight used to have a Must call option, which caused multiple signals, but I figured that out in the 80s.

Some FACP manufacturers have their panels setup so that they can *only* send TWO test signals when monitored. One on each line. I don't know much about Notifier, but they may be that way. I have a couple of them on Sole Path Cellular and the extra air time is annoying, but I do make money on them. I have alarms dialing my own toll free lines, so extra call time is only a few cents per signal on those that are on landlines.
This system is in our LATA so I have it dial into a local phone line. My concern is the dispatchers having to deal with 2 phone calls every night. This is the only one that does this. No reference is made in the manual to sending 2 signals every day. Gee, wait for the next nfpa
72, we'll be getting 4 signals per day, one every 6 hours!John
John try matching the Notifier panel with a Firelite panel ( their made in the same factory by the same company)
then call Firelite with your problem using the Firelite panel as reference..
My experience has been the panels are the same just the names and part numbers are different..

Interesting, I think it was a Firelite panel I first noted what you described. Dual daily test (one on each line) and no apparent way to change that.
your listed Notifier SFP-1024 seem to be the same as a Firelite MS-5-10 (5 zone or 10 zone)
the DACT programing "Report Style" can select 1=backup only,
2=both, 3=first availablealso in the DACT programing "Test Time Interval" 1=24 hours, 2=12 hours, 3=8 hours (page 2) 1=6 hours
That might be the place you need to look for changing the dial out...

Sorry about the delay to respond. I am working my email off 2 computers. I did find the Firelite MS-5510 ? Its on the computer at the office. The backup is not the answer, as I would be receiving double reporting on the alarms during inspections. I found an entry to send the daily test to the second phone number. I am going to turn that off the next time we are there. If this is still on the ng, I will respind with the results. The biggie is the notifier to Firelite link.
thanks,
john
