VONK Format

Jan 29, 2023 Last reply: 3 years ago 9 Replies

Hello all,



Recently I've been looking through documentation for Sur-Gard and Connettix central station receivers, and noticed a mention of a format that is referred to as "VONK." I've never heard of this protocol anywhere outside of these guides, and searches to Google with a variety of supplementary keywords have not been successful in turning up more info about what kind of panels send this format. Are any of you here familiar with VONK?



Thank you!


It was an FSK format used in Europe

Where have you been? Do you hibernate and only come out at the sound of monitoring questions?

I've been wondering about that too, it's 110 baud using standard CCITT tone pairs. 2 digit account number, and a number of status channels similar to what Scancom and Ademco High Speed send. No handshake sent from the receiver, which is interesting. If you find any panels that use it, I'd be interested to know as well.

Been here on and off, only post if something interests me like this

I can't tell you what panels actually used that format but it appears they were from the Neatherlands?

Could never understand why people would want to describe the area that they live in as "inferior" land.

something to do with "below" sea level.. one wave away from flooding .. RTS

Hmmm, makes one think if New Orleans should be New Neatherleans or Veniceatherland

Silly New Amsterdammers getting worried about nothing important.
