Wiring a phone line to the panel
You can connect a phone line to the panel for systems monitored by a central monitoring station and/or systems
that notify users by a voice event notification.There are two methods for connecting the panel to a phone line;
full line seizure and no line seizure.
No line seizure
Use no line seizure in conjunction with DSL service. DSL allows the use of multiple devices on a single phone
line simultaneously. Connect the panel line-in jack to an available phone jack on the premises. An inline filter
may be required to ensure panel reporting is successful.
Note: Avoid connecting the panel to a standard phone (voice) line in this manner. Other devices in use at the same time the
panel is using the line can prevent reports from going through.
Full line seizure
The full line seizure method allows the panel to take over (seize) the phone line, even if another device on the
line is in use. This method requires that the panel be wired before all other phones, answering machines,
computers, or other devices on the phone line.
Use the RJ31X (CA-38A) jack ( Figure 8 on page 24) when wiring for full line seizure. This lets the user
quickly and easily disconnect the panel from the phone line in case the panel disables the phone line due to a
malfunction.
