CHAPTER 7: OPERATION

After installation and programming have been completed, the 1800
is fully operational. This chapter explains how the 1800 operates.

ALARM DIALOUT AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

There are three stages to a complete alarm event: 1) Alarm
Recognition, 2) Alarm Notification, 3) Acknowledgment. Note that
not all alert conditions will go through each stage. For example,
some may not meet the recognition time.

Alarm Recognition

1. The 1800 monitors eight zones plus sound level and power

failure. When the status of a zone changes or exceeds user-
programmed limits, it causes an alert condition.

2. If the alert condition lasts long enough to meet its programmed

recognition time, the alert condition becomes an alarm and the
1800 begins the alarm notification sequence.

Alarm Notification

The 1800 can make three types of phone calls: Voice, Numeric
Pager, and Alphanumeric Pager.

Dialout Note: Call Progress

The 1800 monitors call progress when dialing out. If the 1800 dials
out and encounters a busy signal or no answer within 30 seconds,
the unit hangs up, waits the programmed intercall delay time, and
then dials the next phone number.

NOTE: Dial-tone and call-progress detection may

optionally be disabled.

Alarm Dialout—Voice

When dialing out to a destination programmed as “voice,” the 1800
waits for the phone to be answered, then recites its user-recorded
identification message, then the message identifying the zone or
zones that have gone into alarm.
