+12 vdc Power
This is the power input for the AS-80. It
must be a regulated voltage in the range of 11-
13 vdc @ 200mA. It must have no more than
30mv ripple.
•
Ground--Power
This is the power ground for the AS-80.
Operation
To trigger the AS-80 a short must be placed
across the input for a minimum of 200 mili-
seconds. When a channel has been triggered the
corresponding LEDS will start to flash. There is
a 10 second buffer period before the
corresponding OUTPUT channel is triggered
and before the AS-80 starts to dial. This allows
time for you to reset the unit before it starts
dialing. To reset the unit simply press the
RESET button for 1/2 second.
After the 10 second buffer period, the AS-
80 will take control over the phone line and start
the call out process. It will continue calling for
that channel until it has received a
CONFIRMATION for each of the two phone
numbers, or until it has gone through all redials
for that channel. The LEDS for the channel will
flash at a slow rate to indicate that the phone
number was CONFIRMED, and will flash at a
fast rate to show that the phone number was
NOT CONFIRMED. The LEDS will display
this information until the RESET button is
depressed, or until the PROGRAMMING mode
is entered.
Program
Instructions
The AS-80 can be programmed either
locally without the use of telephone lines, or it
can be programmed from a remote location via
the phone line.

Local Programming
To perform local programming, the AS-80
MUST be connected to +12vdc and a standard
single line telephone must be connected to the
Local Telephone jack. Do not use a telephone
that has a speakerphone build into it. Note: In
the program mode, you must enter touch tones
within 50 seconds or the AS-80 will time out.
When it times out, it will issue a continuous
tone. In this case, turn the program switch to
"NORM" and then back to "PROGRAM" and
re-program the unit.
1) Connect a standard single line telephone to the
"Local Telephone" jack on the AS-80.
2) Connect 12vdc to the POWER terminals on the
AS-80.
3) Pick up the phone and switch the program
switch to the "Program" position.
4) After the pulsing tone stops, you are at the
OUTPUT CONTROL section.
