Chapter 4: Communications Programming

4.11 Intercall Time

The Intercall Time is the programmable period of time the Model 1108 waits in calling subsequent telephone numbers. Intercall Time is activated only after alarm dial-out to the first telephone number fails to be acknowledged. This period can be programmed from 10 seconds to 60 minutes. The default intercall time is 1 minute.

If an incoming telephone call is made to the Model 1108 during Intercall Time (in between its dialing of subsequent telephone numbers to report an alarm), it will answer the incoming call and immediately report any existing alarms. The manner in which the incoming call is answered depends upon whether or not TAD is enabled or disabled:

If TAD (Telephone Answering Device) is enabled, Rings Until Answer will be 1.

If TAD is disabled, Rings Until Answer will be 10.

Refer to Section 4.5, Rings Until Answer; and Section 4.6, TAD (Telephone Answering Device).
