Chapter 2: Installation

2.6 Run Mode and Standby Mode

Pressing the RUN/STANDBY key on the Model 1108 keypad will alternately activate or deactivate the unit. If the unit is activated and in RUN mode, the red LED (small red light on the upper right of the unit's front panel) glows steadily. In STANDBY mode, the red LED goes out, but will blink every few seconds to indicate that power is still supplied to the unit.

In RUN mode, the Model 1108 is able to receive incoming calls and to automatically dial out in the event of an alarm on one of the monitored conditions. To enter STANDBY mode, press

RUN/STANDBY.

As soon as the Model 1108 enters STANDBY mode, it responds with “Have a good day.” The red light immediately goes out and then resumes with a blink every few seconds. While in STANDBY mode, all functions are disabled, but programmed memory is preserved. Upon exiting STANDBY mode, any currently existing alert conditions will be announced.

NOTE

STANDBY mode is not equivalent to “power off”— an electrical source, such as the 120 VAC, or the bat- tery backup, continues to provide full power to the unit. If the unit is placed in STANDBY mode, unplugged from the 120 VAC outlet, and placed in storage, the batteries will continue to power the Model 1108, discharging until they fail. Consequently, batteries should always be removed from the unit following disconnection from any 120 VAC outlet, prior to storage.

Press the RUN/STANDBY key again to return to RUN mode.

2.7 Telephone Line

The Model 1108 will operate with all standard telephone systems that accept pulse or tone dialing. The Model 1108 cannot be used on an extension line to dial its own telephone number. Also, it may not be installed on a party line or pay telephone line.
