Action—Response

1. THE MODEL 1108 DETECTS
AN ALERT CONDITION
An alert condition is not the same
as a valid alarm—the condition
must continue for the programmed
time period, orRecognition Time,
before it is recognized as a valid
alarm.
2. A VALID ALARM IS
CONFIRMED
An audible, on-site alarm message
begins and continues until the
alarm is acknowledged. (If the
Mute feature is turned on, there is
no on-site message.) Call Delay is
activated.
3. DIAL-OUT BEGINS
Dial-out begins by calling
telephone number 1 to report an
alarm. If there is no
acknowledgment, the Model 1108
waits the programmed Intercall
Time before dialing subsequent
telephone numbers. Dial-out
continues in this manner, cycling
through the remaining telephone
numbers, for the programmed Max
Calls.
4. THE ALARM IS
ACKNOWLEDGED
When the alarm is acknowledged,
the dial-out process is cancelled
and the audible, on-site alarm
message stops.
3.4 Summary of the Alarm Dial-Out Process

Programmable Feature

•Recognition Time
This is the programmed
waiting period to determine
if an alert condition has
persisted long enough to be
considered a valid alarm. If
the sensor returns to normal
within recognition time,
then no alarm will occur.
• Call Delay
This is the programmed
waiting period, before the
first telephone number is
called, to report an alarm.
• Intercall Time
This is the programmed
waiting period, in between
sequential dialing of
telephone numbers, to
report an alarm.
• Max Calls
This is the total number of
telephone calls that will be
dialed in response to any
valid alarm. Telephone
numbers are dialed
sequentially, and continue
to cycle until the maximum
number of calls is reached.
If no acknowledgment
occurs, then at the
completion of Max Calls,
all alarms are automatically
acknowledged.
