MICROTEL Series 1000 Dialer

Site Control

The Series 1000 makes it possible to immediately begin equipment maintenance before
arriving at a remote site, or teleservice a physical process. Use the following touch-tone
commands to actuate digital outputs or control analog outputs over the telephone. An
example use would be turning a pump on or off when responding to an alarm call from
the dialer, or adjusting a variable-speed output device to control a measured parameter.

z Controlling Digital Outputs When a channel’s I/O Type is Digital Output (*c2,

**c203, see Section Configuring Input/Output Modules for more details), the user
can set the output state by entering the proper touchtone command.

*c6

Report I/O channel c Digital Output status

**c60

Program Digital Output channel c to be OFF

**c61

Program Digital Output channel c to be ON


There are two types of Digital Outputs: Latched and Momentary. A Latched
Output will maintain the last state the user commanded. A Momentary Output will
cause the output to close for this channel’s On Delay Time (*c5, **c51MMSS, see
Section I/O Channel ON/OFF Delay), then reopen.

To make a Digital Output Momentary, the command is **c80. To make this Output
Latched (Default), the command is **c81. To make this Output Latched and to
remain in this output state even after the dialer’s power has cycled, the command is
**c85.

Before using **c85, make sure that this fits your application. Use this feature
with caution since just the action of turning on a dialer can cause a pump to run.

Example-

Command:

**161

Response:

Channel one output is ON.

Example-

Command:

**160

Response:

Channel one output is OFF.

NOTE: If this command doesn’t seem to control the output, make sure that the

channel’s Type is Digital Output (See I/O Channel Type (*c2, **c203).


z Setting An Analog Output This setpoint directly controls an analog output value

where “aaa” represents the analog value in percent from 0% to 99.9% (aa.a%).

*c92

Report I/O channel c analog output setpoint

**c92aaa Program I/O channel c analog output setpoint

Example- Command

**292250

Response: Channel two analog output is two five point zero percent.
