General Description
The HWI-TEL9 Single Line Telephone Interface
provides access to up to ten different functions or
events in the
HomeWorks
system from touch-tone
phones inside or outside the house. Each function
can be programmed to control any of the devices
connected to a
HomeWorks
system. Digitally
recorded voice messages provide custom responses
for each of the programmed functions.
Safety Precautions
Telephone lines conduct a small amount of electrical
current. Although unlikely to cause harm, the
following precautions are advised:
1.
Disconnect the telephone line at the network
interface.
2.
Never work with telephone wiring during a
thunderstorm.
3.
Persons with pacemakers should never work with
telephone wiring.
Important Installation Information
The HWI-TEL9 is designed with multiple operational
modes, each of which is best suited for a particular
phone system configuration. Please read the section
on

completely familiar with the options that are available
to you and your customer.
