4.12 Maximum Number of Calls (Max Calls)
The Max Calls feature controls the total number of repeated call-
ing attempts by the Model 1108 in the event of an alarm. When an
alarm occurs, the dial-out process begins, and continues to cycle
through your programmed telephone numbers until a maximum
number of calls is reached. The Max Calls setting regulates the
number of calls that will be made as a result of any alarms; if
more than one alarm is detected at once, or if a second alarm
occurs during dial-out on the first alarm, the Max Calls setting
will start the calling process from zero, until the programmed
number of calling attempts are completed.
The default setting for Max Calls is 100, but it may be programmed
from 0 to 255 calls. Max Calls is cancelled when an alarm is
acknowledged. If the maximum number of calls is completed and
no alarm acknowledgement has occurred, the Model 1108 will
automatically acknowledge any alarm and stop the dial-out.
NOTE
If only one telephone number is programmed, the
Model 1108 will dial out a maximum of 15 times to
report an alarm.
