United Security AVD-2007 - Manual (Page 12)

You are now ready to begin operating your system, rely-
ing on the AVD-2007 to work in conjunction with your
alarm system to provide 24-hour security reassurance and
peace of mind.
When in the operating mode, the system will monitor all
the enabled channels, initiating dialing when a valid alarm
condition occurs. Upon activation the dialer will begin
calling each phone/pager number selected, in sequence,
for the pre-selected number of attempts. During each suc-
cessful attempt, the voice message will be delivered 1, 2,
or 3 times, in accordance with the option selected (nu-
meric messages will only be delivered one time). In un-
successful attempts, the dialer will move on to the next
phone/pager number after receiving 8 busy or 8 rings
without an answer. The dialer will not allow voice mes-
sages to be delivered to programmed numeric pager loca-
tions.
If you send a message to a phone attached to an answering
machine, it will consider this a successful attempt. Make
sure you designate the maximum number of message re-
peats to be sure that a complete message will be left on the
answering machine, because part or all of your emergency
message may be “lost” while the answering machine de-
livers its greeting message.
Placing your system in OPERATE can also be used as a
final test of the full functionality of each channel’s
exit/entry delay, activation, momentary/continuous trig-
ger, phone numbers and OGM. Although serving as a test,
this mode reflects actual operation; therefore the OGM(s)
will not be heard through your dialer’s speaker but only by
each party called.
To begin operating your system, simply press the “M”
Mode key until the word OPERATE appears on the LCD.
To disarm the dialer, switch the mode to OFF by pressing
the same key. All programming information will be re-
tained
System Notations
Here are a few explanations to help you better understand
how your AVD-2007 dialer operates. For specific infor-
mation on the AVD-2007 unit alone, call United Security
Products, Inc.’s Customer Service Department during
normal business hours at (858) 413-0149.
Channel Activation
Each of the dialer’s four channels can be activated by any
of the following: a normally open dry contact, normally
closed dry contact or positive 5-28VDC voltage activa-
tion.
Under a momentary activation, a single violation of a chan-
nel will cause the dialer to initiate delivering all pre-selected
OGMs to all programmed numbers associated with that
channel. Under continuous activation, the dialer will initiate
the process, terminating it if/when the activated channel is
restored to a non-alarm state. Once an alarm has occurred
and all attempts satisfied, the dialer will continue to monitor
any remaining enabled channel(s). Once the activated chan-
nel has been restored to a non-alarm state, it will then be re-
armed and ready for the next alarm.
Exit/Entry Delays
If a channel is activated during a pre-selected exit delay, the
alarm condition will be ignored until the delay has expired.
If an alarm occurs, the entry delay will cause the dialer to
wait before starting the dialing process. To de-activate the
dialer during the entry wait period, simply press “M” to
return to the OFF Mode. Both exit and entry delay times
can be pre-selected to range from 1-199 seconds.
Additional features
The dialer offers three innovative features that enhance the
utility of the entire system.
Listen-In
While receiving an OGM on a touch-tone phone, the called
party can press “1” to listen in to the activity at the other end
of the line for one minute. Pressing “1” again restarts the
minute increment period and can be repeated indefinitely.
When “1” is pressed the OGM will stop playing and the lis-
ten in period will start.
Two-Way
After the called party is listening-in, that party can press “2”
to begin a two-way conversation lasting for one minute.
This procedure also can be repeated indefinitely by pressing
“2” again to restart the minute. Once you are in two-way
mode you cannot go back to Listen-In.
Remote Turn-Off
The called party can remotely terminate the activated chan-
nel any time during the OGM by pressing “1” then “#” twice
within one second. The dialer will continue to monitor the
remaining channel(s). Once the terminated channel is re-
stored to a non-alarm state, it will re-arm. If in listen-in or
two-way, simply press “#” twice in one second, for remote
turn-off.
