Remote Telephone Access
If your installer has included this feature, you have the ability to check
on the status of your system and change the status when away from
home.
The SP850 control panel can be interrogated and status changed
from a remote touchtone telephone. The system will respond with a
series of beep tones to indicate whether the system is "Armed", "Ready
to Arm", "Not Ready", "In Alarm" or "System Trouble" condition.
In the case of an answering/fax machine on site, or phone
company provided answering service the following is important
to remember:
The "Ring Count" must be counted at the panel until it equals the
programmed value in location 144. Subsequent calls to the site
followed by a hangup and then redial before the line is taken by
the answering/fax equipment will be required before the panel will
answer.
To Use:
Call the premises telephone number.
Allow the phone to ring the proper number of times. Your installer will
set this at the time of installation.
The system will answer, wait about 5 seconds for a long tone.
Now enter your user code using the
[#]
sign for each digit. Pause
slightly between digits.
As an example, if your code was [2346]:
Tap
[##]
pause
[###]
pause
[####]
pause
[######]
. If you
enter the correct code you will hear a series of tones indicating your
system's status.
Number of tones = System Status
1 =
Armed
2 =
Ready to Arm
3 =
Not Ready
4 =
Alarm
5 =
Trouble Note:
Combinations of status conditions are possible.
To alter the status, simply press
[###]
. A new series of tones will tell
you the new status. If the status is changed from
Not Ready
, the
system will be Armed with a faulted zone in the
Bypassed
condition.
To hang up when the system is in the desired state press [
