Octalarm-T2 / T4 / T8 / T16
9. RETRIEVE ALARM STATUS BY TELEPHONE
This option enables you to retrieve the alarm status of the guarded object using a telephone. In case
the telephone dialler key is switched off, the status report can be retrieved anyhow.
Dial the number of the Octalarm. Provided the telephone line is not engaged, the Octalarm will answer
the call and put through all present alarms twice, using a recorded voice message (for version -S) or a
recognizable tone code. See paragraph 4.3.1 “Report to telephone" for the characteristics of the tone
codes.
In case no alarm is present, the Octalarm sends an extended beep of 5 seconds.
In case the Octalarm is connected to a analogue telephone line together with communication
equipment provided with answering facilities (modem, fax and such) the usage of this option could
cause problems. If necessary, alter the number of signals after which the Octalarm has to answer
the call or completely switch off this function using the installation program.
10. SWITCHING THE RELAY OUTPUT BY TELEPHONE
The Octalarm is equipped with a relay control output. A connected relay can be controlled at a
distance using a telephone, for example to:
•
reset an alarm device
•
temporarily release an entrance door
•
switch on or off the ventilation, the lighting or the burglar alarm.
The control can take place as follows:
B
Dial the number of the Octalarm, listen to the possible alarms and wait for the short waiting beeps.
B
Enter one of the following switch commands:
•
# 1 #
, to switch on,
•
# 0 #

•
# 2 #
, for a switch pulse of 10 seconds.
B
In case an access code is set, the switch command has to be given as follows:
# switch command
# access code #.
The access code is entered in the installation program.
B
Wait until the acceptance tone is sent back, the command will then be executed. A short
continuous error beep sounds in case of an incorrect code.
Remote switching is only possible using a tone dialling telephone.
