Chapter 1: Installation

Certain private telephone systems and public switching equipment may not accept the unit’s dialing or may generate an unacceptable ring signal. In those cases, a dedicated line may be required for the unit. Consult the supplier of your telephone system if you encounter problems.

CAUTION: Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Sensor Inputs

The sensor inputs are designed to interface with RIM-600 series sensors (See Chapter 7). The use of RJ-45 jacks for sensor inputs allows the use of existing structured cabling to connect remote sen- sors.

Since the sensor produces an analog signal, it must connect directly to the Host or Node. The path from the sensor to the RIM-600 unit CANNOT pass through a network Hub or Switch.

Sensor Input LEDs

Each sensor input has two LEDs (red and green) to indicate the present status of the input. The key below describes the multiple modes of operation.

Mode 0: No sensor at input Green: OFF Red: OFF

Mode 1: Sensor present—No alarms Green: ON

Red: OFF

Mode 2: Alarm detected but has not exceeded recognition time Green: FAST BLINK

Red: FAST BLINK

Mode 3: New alarm exists and not yet acknowledged Green: SLOW BLINK

Red: SLOW BLINK

Mode 4: Input is in normal range, but alarm is still unacknowledged Green: ON

Red: SLOW BLINK

Mode 5: Alarm has been acknowledged, but input is still out of range Green: SLOW BLINK

Red: ON

Mode 6: Sensor in trouble Green: QUICK FLASH Red: QUICK FLASH
