Installing the Phone module

General Information

The 4285 Phone module is an add-on accessory for the VISTA–10SE that permits access to the security system via a Touch-tone phone (either on premises or by a call-in when away).

The Phone module can announce many of the same words that would normally be displayed on an Alpha keypad under the same system conditions.

When using the 4285 Phone module, addressable keypads must be used in the system, but set to the non-addressable mode (address 31), i.e., do not use a 4127 or 6127 keypad.

When properly connected, the 4285 Phone module will enable the user to do the following via a Touch-tone telephone:

a. Receive synthesized voice messages over the phone regarding the status of the security system.

b. Arm and disarm the security system and perform most other commands using the telephone keypad, with voice annunciation being provided over the phone as confirmation after a command is entered.

The phone used for phone access must have Touch-tone capability, though Touch-tone service is not necessary (if premises uses PULSE dialing, switchable phones must be set for Touch-tone temporarily before attempting phone access).

A Phone Access User's Guidefor phone access to the security system is provided with the Phone module for the user of the system.

Mounting The 4285 Phone module

The Phone module may be mounted in the control cabinet if space is available or, if this is not possible, on the side of the cabinet or adjacent to it.

When mounting the Module outside the cabinet, use the screw holes at its rear which will permit it to be mounted horizontally or vertically (2-faced adhesive tape may be used, if preferred). Wires can be brought out from the side or back (a round breakout is also available on the back).

Affix the Phone module’s connections label (supplied separately) to the inside of the Phone module's cover if the cover is used. If you have installed the module within the cabinet, affix the label to the inside of the control cabinet's door.

Phone Module Wiring

The 4285 is wired between the control panel and the premises handset(s). It listens for touch tones on the phone line and reports them to the control panel. During on-premises phone access, it powers the premises phones; during off- premises phone access, it seizes the line from the premises phones and any answering machines.

Note: The phone lines must be in service for the phone module to function, even when accessing the system from an on-premises phone.
