AVM access code
Note
: UltraGard optional feature number F20 (AVM Enable)
must be turned on to use the AVM. Optional feature number
F00 (Remote Phone Access) must be on to access the AVM
from a remote phone.
AVM modes
The following describes the available AVM operating modes.
One-ring
After reporting an alarm, the panel answers on the first ring. A
5 minute window allows remote access alarm verification after
an alarm is reported. Once the panel has answered, the AVM
access code must be entered (within 20 seconds) to use the
AVM.
Note
: If an AVM access code has not been programmed, the
AVM cannot be used in the one-ring mode.
This window is activated after an alarm has been reported and
allows access to the AVM after one ring at the alarm site. No
reports to the central station are allowed during this 5 minute
interval except fire alarms. The 5 minute window is cleared
when the monitoring service operator hangs up using 99 or the
system is disarmed from the customer site during an audio
session.
One-ring silent
Same as one-ring, except on-premises telephones do not ring.
Note
: Some electronic phones may ring for about 1/8 of a
second when this mode is selected.
Instant
The CS-4000 trips the panel when it reports an alarm.
Monitoring personnel can then initiate an audio session from a
CS-4000 parallel telephone, without using the AVM access
code.
One-ring Fire Siren Shutdown
Same as one-ring, except fire sirens will be shut down at the
customer site when audio access is gained. Instead of sirens,
the system will announce
Fire. Fire
. every ten seconds (10-
second annunciator).
One-ring silent fire siren shutdown
Same as one-ring silent, except fire sirens may be shut down
at the customer site (10-second annunciator).
Note
: Some electronic phones may ring for about 1/8 of a
second when this mode is selected.
Instant fire siren shutdown
Same as instant, except fire sirens may be shut down at the
customer site (10-second annunciator).
If a fire alarm occurs during either the access time-out interval
(Instant) or the five minute call back window (One-ring), the fire
alarm will be reported by the panel. After report completion, the
AVM will return to the state it was in prior to the fire alarm.
The AVM can be accessed from off-site using the AVM access
code even when no alarm has occurred. If this off-site access
is gained and then an alarm occurs, the panel disconnects
premises phones and reports the alarm to the monitoring
service.
Note
: If an AVM access code is not programmed, you cannot
access the AVM.
To accommodate other communication formats and avoid
conflict, the AVM has a programmable (via CS-4000 or
Downloader only) delay period for the annunciation of beeps
that request the audio access code or star (*) telephone
access key. This delay period is programmable from 2 to 300
seconds in 2-second increments. In instant mode, the delay is
in effect when the system has completed its reports and has
released the telephone line to the AVM. In one-ring mode, the
delay is in effect when the system answers the telephone after
one ring. In off-site access, the delay is not in effect.
The AVM mode factory default value is 03 - Instant.
