Mystery SIA signals

anybody know what a UX6 or UX1 is?

Where does one find the big master list of all SIA reporting codes? (I don't trust the short version in the back of the DSC install manual).

According to my SIA list, UX means undefined alarm condition occurred.

Might be zone 1 & zone 6.

Make sure you have 11's in all reporting codes. I never did trust DSC autoreporting format option.

You're kidding right? Putting 11's in for report does does nothing if auto reporting is turned on and comes in with 11 as the zone number of everything if turned off

Autoreporting works fine

There are many flavors of SIA it seems when it comes to what the central station gets. It is not all just a single version of SIA. A central station guy like Leuck could explain the differences in SIA codes better than I could. Some panels send a more complete version of SIA than others when using the auto report option. When using GE panels and sending SIA for example, if you program a wireless point as a motion detector, smoke, heat etc, the central station will receive that information. Do the same thing with DSC and the central station will end up with less information using its SIA codes.

none of that matters if you don't have communications turned on in programming.;)

This is funny because? You think there aren't different SIA formats like: y SIA format, 110 baud Y SIA format, 300 baud SIA High Security SIA-1 SIA-2 Supports text programmed in panel SIA-3 Supports text programmed in panel

And you weren't aware of that? Were you aware that DSC panels (especially older ones) weren't good at sending the full SIA format of all information (or Contact ID for that matter)? Keep laughing then.
