When a reportable event occurs in the system, the panel will begin dialing the numbers sequentially starting from
MSTN 1 (if enabled), skipping any disabled numbers and stopping once all selected telephone numbers have been
called. After a certain amount of failed attempts (section
[831]
) at trying to call the monitoring station, the control panel
will then dial the selected backup telephone number (if enabled; see Programming Guide).
If the Alternate Dial option is enabled, the control panel will dial the programmed backup telephone number (if enabled)
after every failed attempt. If no backup telephone number is programmed, the control panel will never report to the
backup telephone number.
Example: The system is armed and zone 1 has been breached causing an alarm. If options
[5]
and
[7]
are OFF and
option
[6]
is ON in section
[802]
, the control panel will attempt to communicate with MSTN 2.

Section
[811]
: Partition 1, Section
[812]
: Partition 2
All report codes are preceded by a 4-digit or 3-digit Partition Account Number to ensure correct identification in a
partitioned system. Partition account numbers can be any hexa-digit from 1 to F. To enter a 3-digit account number,
simply press the

key followed by a 3-digit account number. Also, when using 3-digit account numbers, you
must use 1-digit report codes.
12.14 Dialing Method
Section
[800]
: Dialer Options
Option
[6]
OFF = Pulse Dialing (see

[800]
: Dialer Options
Option
[7]
OFF = European Pulse Ratio of 1:2
Option
[7]
ON = U.S.A. Pulse Ratio of 1:1.5 (default)
When using Pulse dialing, you can select one of two Pulse Ratios. Although most European countries use the 1:2 pulse ratio, the
1:1.5 ratio may provide better results in some cases. The same applies for North American countries. If the 1:1.5 pulse ratio is not
providing the desired results, the 1:2 ratio may be used.
12.16 Maximum Dialing Attempts
Section
[831]
000 to 255 attempts, Default = 8 attempts
The value programmed in section
[081]
determines how many times the control panel will re-dial the same monitoring station
telephone number before proceeding to the next number.
12.17 Maximum Dialing Attempts - VDMP3
Section
[841]
000 to 255 attempts, Default = 8 attempts
The value programmed in section
[841]
determines how many times the control panel will re-dial the same telephone number
before proceeding to the next number. The maximum dialing attempts programmed in this section is independent from those
programmed in section
[831]
of the panel dialer used for monitoring station reporting.
12.18 Delay Between Dialing Attempts
Section
[832]
000 to 255 seconds, Default = 20 seconds
This delay determines the amount of time the control panel will wait between each dialing attempt.
This section applies to the
Plug-in Voice Dialer when using a VDMP3.
12.19 Switch to Pulse on 5th Attempt
Section
[800]
Option
[3]
OFF =
Switch to Pulse on 5th Attempt Disabled (default)
Option
