• In order for the dialer to be able to seize the phone line to report an alarm or
other event when other customer equipment (telephone, answering system,
computer modem, etc.) connected to the same line is in use, the dialer must
be connected to a properly installed RJ-31X jack. The RJ-31X jack must be
connected in series with, and ahead of, all other equipment attached to the
same phone line. Series installation of an RJ-31X jack is depicted in the
wiring diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you
should consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
Testing
When programming emergency numbers or making test calls to emergency
numbers, remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for
the call. Perform programming and testing activities in the off-peak hours, such
as early morning or late evenings.
Compliance
• This dialer complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements
adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). A
label attached to the dialer contains, among other information, a product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information
must be provided to the telephone company.
• The plug and jack used to connect the dialer to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by ACTA. The dialer must be connected to a compliant
RJ-31X or RJ-38X jack using a compliant cord. If a modular telephone cord is
supplied with the dialer, it is designed to meet these requirements. See
installation instructions for details.
• A ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine how many devices
you can connect to a telephone line. If the total REN value for all devices
connected on a telephone line exceeds that allowed by the telephone
company, the devices may not ring on an incoming call. In most (but not all)
areas the total REN value should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the total
REN value allowed on a telephone line, contact the local telephone company.
• For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits ## represent the REN
without a decimal point. Example: 03 is an REN of 0.3. For earlier products
the REN is listed separately.
