HOW THE EDAC 222-02 WORKS – RUN MODE
On power-up, the EDAC 222-02 will be in RUN mode assuming no trigger is present. RUN mode
can be identified by a horizontal line on the display with a flashing dot
.

The EDAC 222-02 uses three distinct states when in RUN mode:
Active
When the EDAC 222-02 is active (in alarm state) the unit will make alarm notification calls.
Cancelled or acknowledged
When the EDAC 222-02 is active (in alarm state) the unit will make
alarm notification calls. When these active trigger states (Inputs) have all been acknowledged the
EDAC 222-02 is said to be in a cancelled state. This means that the EDAC 222-02 will not make
any further calls. The Input is still present however and it must be removed in order to re-trigger the
EDAC 222-02. Any new trigger on a different alarm Input will initiate a new alarm notification call
sequence.
Cleared or idle
The Input is cleared when it no longer meets the Input criterion (e.g. trigger on
close contact and the contact is open). The EDAC 222-02 is idle when all Inputs are clear (i.e. no
Inputs present).
When an event triggers an alarm notification call, the EDAC 222-02 will dial through the telephone
number call list. When the call is answered, the voice message is spoken or the pager message
sent. This process is broken down into the following stages:
NOTE:
The references in brackets refer to the functions, which are programmed by you
at the time of installation.
1. All Inputs are idle (no alarms are being triggered).
2. An Input meets the alarm-trigger criteria (see functions
F51
and
F52
).
3. The EDAC 222-02 waits for the trigger/dial time to elapse (the time between the alarm trigger
and the first phone call being made). If the Input is removed before the EDAC 222-02 has had
time to place a call the Input state goes back to idle (see functions
F09
and
F96
)
4. The EDAC 222-02 will now make calls to the people on your call list (see functions
F07
and
F11
).
5. When a call is answered and it is a
voice
call (telephone, cell/mobile phone, etc) it will speak
the message sequence outlined below.
Your site message (identifies the site)
The Input messages (identifies which alarms have been triggered)
The cancellation message (if you cancel the alarms)
“The following Inputs have been acknowledged”
The Input messages again (if the alarms are cancelled but the Input triggers have not been
removed)
