3.1.2 Dual / Alternate reporting
You may program “dual” or “alternate” reporting of messages to the central station.
• DUAL: Dual means that alarms are reported to ALL central station numbers programmed for that particular
type of alarm.
• ALTERNATE: Alternate means that the alarms are reported to ONLY ONE of the central station numbers
programmed for that particular type of alarm.
• EXAMPLE: Panic alarm is programmed to report to central stations 1, 2 and 4. With the “Dual” option all panic
alarms are reported to ALL these Central Station numbers. With the “Alternate” option the dialler will call
each of the numbers in turn: first number 1, then number 2, then number 4, then number 1 again, etc.. The
Dialler will close down on receipt of the first "Call Successful" Kiss-off.
3.1.3 Central station 1 attempts
Number of attempts to dial telephone number 1 before the dialler attempts to call the next number.
3.1.4 PABX no.
Where the dialler has to operate via an internal (PABX) switchboard, it may be necessary to dial a prefix
number before an outside line can be obtained. The dialler can be programmed to dial a prefix of up to SIX
digits. The PABX number can also be used to supplement telephone numbers with 16 digits. The first digit of
the PABX number must be set for wait for dialling tone [t]. The [WAIT FOR DIALLING TONE] option must be
set to [NO] in the dial options menu. In this way the telephone number can be extended to 21digits.
3.1.5 Previous menu
This menu option returns you to the first column of the menu structure.
3.2 Dialling options
This part of the program relates to the dialling formats available and the types of dialling tones on the
telephone lines.
3.2.1 Pulse / Tone dialling
Pulse (dial) or DTMF (touch tone) dialling must be selected in accordance with the parameters of the
telephone line to be used.
Remark for TD8803/TD8403.
Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect or DTMF signalling, only the performance of the
DTMF signalling is subject to regulatory requirements for correct operation. It is therefore strongly
recommended that the equipment is set to use DTMF signalling for access to public or private emergency
services. DTMF signalling also provides faster call set up.
3.2.2 Wait for dialling tone Yes / No
The dialler can be programmed not to dial until it receives the correct dialling tone. Conversely, you can opt
to have the dialler dial after 5 seconds, even if no correct dialling tone has been received.
3.2.3 Call interval ss
The time interval between individual dialling attempts can be set to 5 or 60 seconds.
3.2.4 Retry period mm
If the dialler has been unable to send a message after the programmed number of dialling attempts, it
hangs up and starts again after the set
retry period. This period can be set to between 0 and 90 minutes.
*
Program [0] if the dialler must stop after the number of programmed ' dialling attemps' or after
a new activation. Maximum 100 attempts are possible per activation.
