Phone Communication Testing 26
Pager Communication
¾ To test pager communication:
1. Call the central station and tell the operator you will be testing the system. If there are voice
event notification or pager numbers programmed notify them also.
2. Verify the pager is on.
3. Test each of the panic buttons to verify they are signaling the pager correctly. (See Table 9.)
Voice Event Notification
Testing this feature requires two people; one at the installation site and the other at the location
the panel is programmed to call (Option 4 and/or 5). The phone test will fail if the phone is not
answered.
Note
Option 11 and /or 12 must be set to 10.
1. Contact the central monitoring station to inform them you are testing the system and not to
dispatch help.
2. At the system site, activate a portable panic or press the system Call button.
Note
After the panel has
announced the alarms it
says “Press star for alarm”
again. To hear the alarms
again press *. To end the call
go to step 5.
3. At the calling location, pick up the phone after it starts ringing. You should hear the panel
voice announce “Press star for alarm.”
4. Press the * button on the phone and the panel voice announces “Time is x:xx, sensor xx panic
alarm.” If the * button is not pressed and the call is ended the panel will call back 8 times.
Note
Pressing 5 on the phone at this point will start a 2-way session with the panel. See Table 10 for the
remote phone commands.
Note
You must terminate the call
by pressing #. Otherwise the
panel may not disconnect
from the phone line for up to
2 minutes.
5. After listening to the alarm information and/or having a 2-way conversation, press # to termi-
nate the call.
6. At the system site, press the Status button to clear the status message. The panel will
announce the time and the type of alarm.
If you press the Status button before the panel has delivered the Voice Event Notification the sys-
tem clears the alarm message and only the time will be announced.
Remote Phone Operation
Test the system from a remote (off-site) phone using the commands in Table 10. See “Option 20:
Ring/Hang/Ring” in the Programming section for information on connecting to CareGard from a
remote phone. After a successful Ring/Hang/Ring, enter the Master Access Code + a Phone
Command from Table 10.
