ALARM DIALING EQUIPMENT
If
your
home
has
specially
wired
alarm
equipment
connected
to
the
telephone
line,
ensure
that
the
installation
of
any
other
non
‐
alarm
devices
does
not
disable
your
alarm
equipment.
If
you
have
questions
about
what
will
disable
alarm
equipment,
consult
your
telephone
company
or
a
qualified
installer.
IMPORTANT:
When
programming
emergency
numbers
or
making
test
calls
to
emergency
numbers
remember
the
following:
1
Remain
on
the
line
and
briefly
explain
to
the
dispatcher
the
reason
for
the
call.
2
Perform
such
activities
in
the
off
‐
peak
hours,
such
as
early
mornings
or
later
evenings.
3
Follow
the
central
station
operator’s
instructions
for
updated
dialer
programming,
if
re
‐
programming
of
the
dialer
is
required.
Alarm
dialing
equipment
must
be
able
to
seize
the
telephone
line
and
place
a
call
in
an
emergency
situation.
It
must
be
able
to
do
this
even
if
other
equipment
(telephone(s),
answering
system,
computer
modem,
etc.)
already
has
the
telephone
line
in
use.
To
do
so,
alarm
dialing
equipment
must
be
connected
to
a
properly
installed
RJ31X
that
is
electrically
in
series
with
and
ahead
of
all
other
equipment
attached
to
the
same
telephone
line.
Proper
installation
is
depicted
in
the
figure
on
this
page.
If
you
have
any
questions
concerning
these
instructions,
you
should
consult
your
telephone
company
or
a
qualified
installer
about
installing
the
RJ31X
jack
and
alarm
dialing
equipment
for
you.
Alarm Installation Notes to
Installer
For
products
equipped
with
an
RJ31X
jack,
the
line
seize
feature
shall
be
verified.
Be
certain
the
local
telephone
and
incoming
line
connections
are
not
reversed.
These
lines
are
not
reversed
if
the
alarm
dialer
can
communicate
with
the
central
station.

The
installation
and/or
monitoring
company
shall
be
notified
if
new
telephone
service
(for
example,
DSL)
is
installed.
