If the system loses power the relay state is restored when the power is reconnected!

Exit Switch Enable
The INPUTA connection can be used to activate the output relay which is ideal for con-
nection to a secure-side exit switch. It uses the trigger level for the input text message (see
INLVL) and activates the relay as per a phone call. To enable the exit switch input the EXIT
command is sent to the board as follows:
EXIT ENABLE
enables the exit switch input
Exit disable
disable the exit switch input
3.9
Output Change Acknowledge SMS
Where necessary the board can send an acknowledgement SMS text message to all of
the TEXTNUM numbers showing the current status of the output. When the output is actu-
ated by a telephone call or text message the activating number is also sent. When the
output is activated via an exit switch (see section 3.8) on INPUTA the relay status and
‘MANUAL’ message is sent. To activate and de-activate the acknowledge message the
following command is sent to the board:
Acknowledge Enable
enables the acknowledge text
ACKNOWLEDGE DISABLE
disables the acknowledge text
also valid,
ack e
acknowledge enable
ack d
acknowledge disable

Auto-dialler: Input Triggered SMS Text Message Sending and Autodialing
The inputs can be used to trigger the sending of customisable SMS text messages to all of
the ‘text numbers’ (see section
1.3 Number Types
) and to sequentially dial all of the ‘call
numbers’ (see section
1.3 Number Types
).
Call numbers are given priority and are dialled before the sending of SMS text messages
to the Text Numbers. If no call numbers are stored no call dialling will occur and the sys-
tem will begin sending SMS text messages straight away.
Each input can be configured to either send a text message, initiate dialling or both send
a text message and dial the call numbers. Each input can also be disabled by SMS re-
motely.
Each input has it’s own customisable message (see section 4.3) which can be sent when
the associated input is triggered.
Dialling can be triggered by either input in a logical OR configuration or can be triggered
only when both inputs are active in a logical AND arrangement (see section 4.4). Addi-
tionally, dialling can be triggered only when input A is triggered followed by input B in an
A THEN B sequence.
Calls are dialled in the order in which they are added. The numbers are dialled sequen-
tially until a call is answered and rejected (hung-up) or a call is answered and the # key is
pressed or until all of the numbers have been dialled.
If a call is answered the system will automatically hang up the call after 5s. The board will
then call the next number. During the 5s call the recipient can end dialling by holding the
# key on their phone or by ending the call if the recipient is a mobile phone After dialling
is complete, the system will proceed to send the customisable text message to the list of
text numbers.
