Chapter 6: Acknowledgment, Status Report & Remote Access

Example: The Model 1108 calls you with an alarm message. You answer the call with a rotary or pulse telephone, and do the following:

Listen to the message and hang up.

Then call the Model 1108 back on any telephone. You must wait for 10 rings: This signals the Model 1108 to answer your telephone call. (Make sure to call back within the programmed setting for Intercall Time—refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.11.)

When the Model 1108 answers your return call, it gives a Status Report (refer to Section 6.2). Then it says: “Warning message received by ...” and recites the telephone number last dialed. This indicates that the alarm has been acknowledged.

NOTE

If you have the TAD feature ( telephone answering device) enabled, the Model 1108 will answer the tele- phone on the first ring. If it is disabled, the telephone must be allowed to ring 10 times. This serves as a precaution against a random alarm acknowledgment. Refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.6, for complete infor- mation on using the TAD feature.

6.2 Status Report

The Status Report allows access to complete information on all monitored conditions either locally, from the keypad, or by telephone, from any location. The Model 1108 will answer an incoming telephone call following the programmed Rings Until Answer (refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.5). Included with the Status Report are messages related to alarm conditions, AC power, battery backup and sound level. It also provides an opportunity for listening to on-site sounds (refer to Listen-in Time, Chapter 4, Section 4.7).
