8. EMERGENCY DIAL-OUT

Emergency dial out consists of two distinct parts: the “digital dialer” and the “voice dialer.”

DIGITAL DIALER

The digital dialer (also called a “digital communicator”) reports alarm events to a central station monitoring center. The digital dialer sends a digitally coded message to the central station’s receiver and computer. The com- puter in the central station pre- sents your name, address, and other information to a human op- erator, who notifies the appropri- ate authorities. Digital communi- cations to a central station are generally superior to voice commu- nications to friends and neighbors for three reasons:

-there is always someone manning the central station

-there is virtually no chance for misinterpretation

-personnel at the central station are trained to respond.

The digital communicator will not dial out until the DIAL OUT DELAY (SET-UP 2, MISC.) has ex- pired. If the alarm is canceled prior to the expiration of the DIAL OUT DELAY, no transmission will take place. If the alarm is canceled after the DIAL OUT DELAY has expired, all alarm trips will be transmitted followed by a CAN- CEL code.

The communicator may be set up to automatically send a test code to the central station on a daily or weekly basis. This verifies proper operation of the entire monitoring system on a periodic basis.

When the digital communicator is used, all voice dial outs will be delayed for five minutes after the expiration of the dial out delay to allow time for the central station to call the premises.

If the digital communicator is unable to successfully communicate with the central station, the con- sole will display the COMMUNICATOR trouble condition. (This trouble condition is reported by the voice dialer as “SECURITY PHONE MESSAGE” trouble.)

VOICE DIALER

In UL Listed Installations, the Voice Dialer is supplementary to the DIGITAL DIALER described above.

The voice dial-out feature of the Model 1503 is a sophisticated system that can notify you at the office, on vacation, on a pocket pager, or notify your neighbor, a relative, and in some cases, local authorities.

Check with your local authori- ties to see what number your system should call. Be aware that in many metropolitan areas, police and fire departments do not allow a voice dialer to call their lines. If this is the case in your area, you must
