STEP 6 – Configure the Fire Panel
1.
Ensure the Telco Fault on the panel is enabled. Then choose a setting that is no higher than 90
seconds (or as close to that) as the panel allows.
2.
Ensure no more than 1 pause character (usually a comma) is programmed into the dialing string
(usually 2 seconds). Note, this is necessary since the Dialer Capture Module waits only 3 seconds
after the phone number is dialed. Having more than 3 seconds of pause time will cause it to think
the phone number is complete and cause it to generate the high-low tones at an incorrect moment.
STEP 7 – Test the System
1.
Close the Wall Outlet Box, then close and lock the cabinet cover.
2.
Refer to the fire panel's installation/operation guide the testing procedure.
3.
(Notify the monitoring station that a test will be conducted.) Test the system to ensure it is
operating.
iPGSM-COM Trouble Detection Information
Telco 1 is used for the Fire Panel to output contact ID messages to the iPGSM-COM, and Telco 2 is used by
the iPGSM-COM to report faults to the Fire Panel. If Telco 1 is not operational, the Fire Panel will use
Telco 2 to report events if there are no faults in the iGSM Communications module.
