Auxiliary control example
: Output four used for gate entry
A Model 396-001 RED
ALERT
®
emergency telephone
is installed at the entrance to a
gated/secure community. A
visitor or delivery person
approaches the gate and presses
the
ASSISTANCE
push button
that automatically calls the
security office. The security
guard presses the pre-
programmed, DTMF open gate
command after verifying entry
approval. This command causes
the RED ALERT
®
telephone’s
output four relay contact to
close for a pre-programmed
amount of time then release.
The RED ALERT
®
telephone
acknowledges acceptance of this deactivation command with a short beep. Retry the command if the
beep is not initially received.
Because the contact is only rated for 125 mA, an interposing relay is required to switch a higher voltage
to the gate solenoid when energized, causing the gate to open (see Figure 34).
The output pulse duration (closure) and the DTMF code used as the
open gate
command are user
programmable (see the Output Four Control Setup section).
Use TMA to change the contact closure settings if the RED ALERT
®
telephone is operating in SMART
mode.
Voice Annunciation Option
The voice annunciation option is primarily intended for use during emergency calls placed from a RED
ALERT
®
telephone. The voice annunciation option allows local or remote speech programming for
location identification purposes, instructions, or any other desired messaging requirement. The message
can be programmed locally at the telephone or remotely via dial-up. The following section provides
instructions to record the voice annunciation message
Initial Message Recording
The easiest method to initially program the voice annunciation recording is to perform the task at a test
bench. This allows control of the audio environment (background noise) and immediate adjustment of the
voice annunciation volume. The set up requires a test telephone line connection for the RED ALERT
®
telephone during programming. The message can also be recorded locally using standard mode
programming or remotely using either standard or SMART mode programming (see Changing the Voice
Annunciation Recorded Message section). Complete the following steps to record the initial voice
message:
1.
Remove the front cover to expose the main PCBA and the piggy backed voice annunciation PCBA.
2.
Insert two AA lithium batteries (provided with the telephone) into the battery holder of the voice
annunciation PCBA, observing proper polarity (see Figure 33).
