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.
Account Numbers
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
[
SLEEP
] key followed by a 3-digit account number. Also, when using 3-digit
account numbers, you must use 1-digit report codes.
Dialing Method

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.
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.
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.
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.
