STEP 6 – Configure the Fire Panel

1.Ensure the Telco Fault on the panel is enabled. Then choose a setting that is no higher than 90 seconds (or as close to that as the panel allows).

2.Ensure no more than 1 pause character (usually a comma) is programmed into the dialing string (usually 2 seconds). Note, this is necessary since the Dialer Capture Module waits only 3 seconds after the phone number is dialed. Having more than 3 seconds of pause time will cause it to think the phone number is complete and cause it to generate the high-low tones at an incorrect moment.

STEP 7 – Test the System

1.Close and lock the cabinet cover.

2.Refer to the fire panel's installation/operation guide for the testing procedure.

3.(Notify the monitoring station that a test will be conducted.) Test the system to ensure it is operating.

4.Verify communications with the central station is successful by sending several events. Also, get confirmation that these events were received.
