(It is not necessary to hook up a telephone for the Model 800
to operate.) This extension jack features Line Seizure which
means that it will disconnect the extension jack when the Model
800 needs to make a telephone call. To ensure that the unit has
priority over any other device on the line, you must connect all
extensions to this jack. (see figure)
On the unit there are two RJ11C phone jacks:
• The RJ11C jack labeled “LINE”is to be connected to the
incoming line of your phone service, ahead of all other
phones or telephone extensions.
• The RJ11C telephone jack labeled “EXT” is to be connected
to all extensions.
2 .8 The Microphone
The Model 800 is provided with a built-in microphone which is
used to monitor high sound levels produced near the installation
site. The sensitivity of the microphone is configurable and
will detect a continuous as well as a pulsating alarm. Note
that beeping alarms that have a half second or more of silence
between beeps will not be detected.
Other programming options that apply to the microphone include
setting the length of time before a high sound causes an alarm.
If this sound level exists for 8 consecutive seconds (default) or for
the programmed length of time, the Model 800 will dial out with
an alarm message.
