Programming and Testing
Verbatim Owner's Manual 3 - 5
See Section 6.2.3, “Channel Programming (Configuring).” This setup
never causes an alarm to dial out but reports the total accumulated hours
that the input contact is closed.

To set any of your contact inputs for the Pulse Totalizer function, see
Section 6.2.3, “Channel Programming (Configuring)."
3.4 Initial Testing
Perform the following steps to ensure that your Verbatim autodialer is properly
installed.
1. First, temporarily disarm the unit by pressing:
DISARM/RE-ARM until the DISARM LED is flashing. This prevents the
unit from dialing out.
2. Next, physically trip each sensing device in turn (manipulate float
switches, relays, etc.).
Verify that the corresponding input channel LED lights at the front panel,
and then restore all sensors to their normal state.
3. Now press DISARM/RE-ARM. This will clear out the channel input
LEDs and restore the unit to a ready condition.
4. To test the phone line connection, with the unit’s phone cord plugged into
its phone jack, temporarily remove the AC power cord to the unit.
The PFAIL LED will illuminate. At this point all illuminated LEDs will
flash on and off in order to conserve battery power. Since the unit is not
disarmed this time, after a 0.1 minute Alarm Trip Delay the PHONING
light will illuminate and the unit will access the phone line and will begin
dialing the first phone number.
The unit will recite its station ID and power failure messages. You may
converse with the person answering by pressing and releasing DIALOUT/
PRESS TO TALK. Press this key again when you wish to speak, and
release this key to listen. This action will suspend message recital. In this
case, when the conversation is done, you should end the call by pressing
NORMAL. Ordinarily the alarm call would end automatically.
5. Now press DISARM/RE-ARM twice.
This step disarms and then rearms the unit clearing all acknowledged
alarms. This clearing also occurs automatically after the Alarm Reset
Time has elapsed (default value 1 hour). See Section 5.6, “Alarm Reset
Time-out After Acknowledgment.”
