General FINMON Programming
This page covers the essential programming requirements for all Finmon radio installations. The Finmon GSM Communicator can work with ANY panel that speaks via Dialler with Contact ID. 
 
 Required Programming Steps 
 The following must be programmed for the Finmon radio to work via the dialler correctly: 
 
 
 Account Code 
 
 Four digit code as required by control room 
 Must be inserted in all required locations (some panels need it in multiple places) 
 For six digit fields: program the four digits followed by FF (e.g., 1234FF) 
 If using a 6 - digit account code radio, add the units account code to your relevant Monitoring Software. 
 
 
 
 Telephone Number 
 
 Program '5555555' in both primary and secondary locations 
 Must be exactly seven 5's 
 
 
 
 Communication Format 
 
 Contact ID must be enabled 
 This is the standard format for all installations 
 
 
 
 Dial Attempts 
 
 Minimum of 6 attempts required 
 
 
 
 Dial Timeout 
 
 For kiss-on (if applicable): minimum 60 seconds 
 If no timeout available, ensure attempts cover:
 
 90 seconds for server send 
 Additional 90 seconds for direct send 
 SMS send time (if enabled) 
 
 
 Note: SMS limit is 20 free messages per unit per month 
 
 
 
 Dialing Method 
 
 Tone dialling must be enabled (usually default) 
 Do not use pulse dialling 
 
 
 
 Special Requirements 
 
 Forced dialling must be enabled (mostly for Caddx panels) 
 
 
 
 
 Important Notes 
 
 Always verify all settings before leaving site 
 Test communication after programming 
 Document any deviations from standard programming

Trigger Inputs Z1-4 on Transmitter
This page covers the configuration of direct trigger inputs on the Finmon transmitter. 
 
 Default Configuration 
 Factory Default Account Code: 9998 
 When a transmitter is connected to a panel via serial/dialler: 
 
 The panel will automatically update the radio with its account code on first signal 
 If the account code is changed on the panel, it will update the radio again 
 
 
 Direct Connection to Z1-4 
 When connecting directly to trigger inputs (not through a panel): 
 
 
 Account Code Programming 
 
 Must be set by dialling into the radio over the internet 
 Use Finmon website: Finmon Portal 
 REFER TO YOUR FINMON CONSULTANT OR CONTROL ROOM 
 
 
 
 Voltage Requirements 
 
 The radio requires a positive 12v trip on any of the triggers. 
 Ensure clean, stable 12v signal 
 
 
 
 
 Default Trigger Assignments 
 
 
 
 Input 
 Default Function 
 
 
 
 
 Z1 
 Panic 
 
 
 Z2 
 Burglary 
 
 
 Z3 
 Open by user / Close by User 
 
 
 Z4 
 AC Failure 
 
 
 
 
 Reprogramming Triggers 
 The trigger inputs can be reprogrammed for any Contact ID reporting code: 
 
 Examples: supervisor on site, pump failure, temperature alarm 
 Access required via Finmon website 
 Contact Finmon support for custom programming 
 
 
 Wiring Notes 
 
 Use appropriate gauge wire for 12v signals 
 Keep wiring runs as short as practical 
 Avoid running trigger wires parallel to AC power 
 Use shielded cable in high-interference environments
