Chapter 6: Acknowledgment, Status Report & Remote Access
89
Example: The Model 800 calls you with an alarm message.
You answer the call with a rotary or pulse telephone, and do the
following:
• You listen to the message and hang up.
• Then you call the Model 800 back on any telephone. You
must wait for 10 rings—this signals the Model 800 to
answer your telephone call. (Make sure to call back within
the programmed setting for Intercall Time—refer to Chapter
4, Section 4.12.)
When the Model 800 answers your return call, it announces the
alarm. Then it says: “Alarm Acknowledged.” This indicates that
the alarm has been acknowledged.
NOTE
If you have the TAD feature ( telephone answering
device) enabled, call the unit and let the phone ring
once, then hang up. Wait a few seconds then call the
unit back a second time. The model 800 will now
answer on the first ring. If TAD is disabled, the tele-
phone must be allowed to ring 10 times. This serves
as a precaution against a random alarm acknowledg-
ment. Refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.7, for complete
information on using the TAD feature.
6 .2 Status Report
The Status Report allows access to complete information on
all monitored conditions either locally, from the keypad, or by
telephone, from any location. The Model 800 will answer an
incoming telephone call following the programmed Rings Until
Answer (refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.6). Included with the Status
Report are messages related to alarm conditions, AC power,
battery backup and sound level. It also provides an opportunity
for listening to on-site sounds (refer to Listen-in Time, Chapter 4,
Section 4.8).
To initiate the Status Report:
