Configuring Input/Output Modules
The Series 1000 features true modularity--I/O channels operate completely independently
of each other. Using the following commands, each I/O channel in your dialer can be
configured to operate uniquely to satisfy your application requirements. For each I/O
channel, you may record a voice message, choose the format of spoken status reports,
program an alarm integration delay, alarm call out operation, and telephone number
calling sequence. Analog inputs also have user-selectable low and high alarm setpoints.
NOTE: Always verify the I/O channel TYPE before proceeding to configure any other
values for a channel. The dialer will reset a channel’s settings when this
channel’s TYPE is modified. If you are adding a new I/O channel to your
dialer, you must configure this channel’s TYPE first. Refer to Advanced Topics
for information on adding I/O modules to an existing configuration.
NOTE: Input modules come from the factory configured as STATUS only. At the very
least, you must configure your inputs to Call On Alarm (described below).
The following commands configure and report the current values for the channel level
