When an alarm occurs, an ARC Plus Touch without an RSI installed can connect to an ARC Plus unit with an RSI or
ESI installed in order to provide dial out notification of the alarm condition. Because more than one RSI or ESI Plus

setting determines how long the ARC Plus Touch will wait for a response from the primary RSI or ESI Plus. The ESI

Depending on how you configure
your ARC Plus, some activities may

Note:
AutoLoad Plus works with
older ARC Plus units as well
as ARC Plus Touch Version 5.
The program refers to the ESI

RSI applies.
