Chapter Six: Telecontrol
The
infinite
prime
control panel offers a range of Telecontrol features that provide
remote access via the telephone. These features include Two-Way Audio, remote
arming/unsetting and sounder cancel.
Two-Way Audio
You may use the Two-Way Audio features to check your home in the event of an alarm
or as an alternative means of communicating with members of your family. For example,
you may wish to call an elderly person who has difficulty reaching the phone. Using its
Two-Way Audio features, the control panel automatically picks up the call and you can
communicate via its built-in microphone and speaker.
6.1: Calling your Home
You may call your home at any time in order to contact your family, operate your system
or check your home while you are away. This feature is available for both regular
telephone communication or cellular communication.
Making a Call using a Regular Telephone
When your security system shares a telephone line with other devices (e.g. telephone
handsets, an answering machine or fax), it is important that the control panel distinguish
between calls so that it knows when to pick up the relevant call. For this purpose the
infinite
prime
employs a double call method.
To make a call to the control panel using the double call method:
1. Dial your telephone number.
2. Wait for two or three rings then hang-up.
3. Wait at least five seconds and dial the number again; on the second ring, the
control panel picks up and sounds two tones.
Making a Call to the Cellular Communications Module
If your system supports cellular communication, the Cellular Communications Module
has its own individual telephone number. Therefore, the double call method is not
necessary and you may call the control panel directly.
Call Procedure
To prevent unauthorized attempts to call your control panel, you must enter a user code
when calling your home –
see 7.3: User Codes, Code 29.
To call your home:
1. Call the control panel either using the double call method or directly (see
above); when the control panel picks up, two tones are sounded.
2. Enter the Telecontrol code (Code 29) on your telephone within 15 seconds.
Do not enter your user code until you hear the two tones. Any digits entered before the
tones are sounded are disregarded by the system.
3. A tone is sounded to indicate that the system is ready to receive commands.
