for a variety of more technical purposes as well, such as to activate a
relay to open a door, set off an alarm, or activate a public address (PA)
system.
In order to use this facility the destination panel's Call Signal Tone
must be enabled. This is done in ECS via the Setup Matrix Hardware
facility using “Advanced Settings” and “Audible Alerts” for the
destination panel or panels. The “Call Signal Tone” option must be set
to “True”.
To send a call signal:
1. Press and hold the LISTEN key for between 1 and 5 seconds. The
LISTEN key turns bright red to indicate that you have entered the
“call-signal send” mode.
2. Press the key of the destination that you want to send the call signal
to.
A call signal of three loud beeps is sent to a destination each time
that you press the destination’s key.
3. To send a call signal to a new destination, press the new
destination’s key.
A call signal is sent to the new destination each time you press that
destination’s key.
4. To exit “call-signal send” mode, tap the LISTEN key and release.
• You can also exit “call-signal send” mode by simply not pressing a
display key for five seconds. The mode will automatically
time-out.
• When you exit “call-signal send” mode, the LISTEN key changes
from bright red to no illumination.
You can send a call signal to any destination with a designated key on
your panel. If more than one destination is assigned to a key, each
destination will receive the call signal. If the destination is a party line,
then every panel listening on the party line will receive the call signal.
Note: The call signal is sent at the page-override volume level,
which is programmable in the Eclipse Configuration
System. For more information, see the Eclipse
Configuration System Manual.

Configuration System.
Often this feature will already be set up in the configuration system
software. For more information, refer to the Eclipse Configuration
System Manual.
2. Press and hold the LISTEN key for more than 5 seconds.
The LISTEN key turns bright green and flashes on and off.
