How do I connect the MS-5024 to a central station via a DACT or IP communicator?

The MS-5024 features an integral digital communicator (DACT) built into the main circuit board that supports two independent telephone lines (Page 50) [5].

For standard phone line connection, wire the primary and secondary lines to the PH1 and PH2 ports; the panel must be the first device on the incoming circuit to ensure proper line seizure (Page 32) [5].

To connect via IP, the IPDACT-2/2UD is compatible with the MS-5024UD (Page 1) [3].

This communicator connects directly to the panel's primary and secondary DACT ports, converting analog signals into encrypted UDP packets for transmission to a central station (Page 1) [3].

Because the MS-5024UD does not use a common enclosure, the IPDACT requires an external IPENC enclosure or an HP300ULX power supply with an IPBRKT bracket kit, which must be close-nippled to the FACP (Page 1) [3].
