Introduction
Description
Basic Operation
The ProTalk Plus model B1290 is a device used to monitor alarms at an un-
attended site. If an alarm occurs, such as building intrusion, power failure,
high or low temperature or equipment failure, the B1290 automatically di-
als out on the telephone line. When the telephone is answered, the B1290
announces in a clear voice the name of the site and the alarm condition that
has occurred. If there is no answer, the B1290 will continue to dial through a
list of telephone numbers until it reaches someone and is able to report its
alarm.
This manual describes the basic operation of the ProTalk Plus model B1290,
and its most common applications. The B1290 can, however, be pro-
grammed to perform many more functions at the discretion of the user. It
can announce alarms over radio, telephone, a public address system or a
combination of these. It can also be programmed to send coded tones along
with the voice messages to activate such devices as radio pagers, relays or
annunciator panels. It can be used as a master station to concentrate alarms
from a number of remote sites. It can be commanded to perform remote
control functions by receiving codes from a tone telephone. Expanders can
be added to increase the capacity of the unit from the basic eight alarm in-
puts and four relay outputs up to 64 inputs and 32 outputs.
The B1290 can be completely customized for your application because all of
the operating parameters are programmed by the user, including the voice
messages. Like its predecessor, the ProTalk B1270, the B1290 can also be
programmed using a standard tone telephone. A stored voice in the B1290
prompts you step-by-step when you are entering new voice messages or
codes, and speaks back all the values that you have saved.
With the added feature of PC software, it is also possible to program the
B1290 from a computer. Using the PC software all of the information in the
B1290 can be read, written and stored to disk.
The programming sections of this manual describe how the B1290 is config-
ured with a phone set. Instructions for programming with the software ap-
plication are found in the Help section of the program.
