Octalarm-T2 / T4 / T8 / T16
4.1 Alarm procedure
The telephone alarm procedure diagram shows what happens in case an alarm channel is activated
using the factory defaults. Navigate through the diagram in the direction of the arrows, starting at the
ALARM block.
The function of the shaded block is by standard switched off. It can be activated by the installer
using the installation program.
4.2 Dialling order
When the Octalarm fails to report successfully, it will start a new dialling attempt to the subsequent set
number. The Octalarm considers a report unsuccessful if:
•
the dialling attempt has failed, e.g. if there is no dialling tone or the busy signal is received during
dialling,
•
the person being called does not answer the call,
•
the reset procedure is not accomplished correctly.
Using the factory defaults, all numbers entered (A through J) are passed in alphabetical order,
whereby blank numbers are skipped automatically. When for example four numbers are entered, these
numbers will be dialled alternately until the reset procedure is properly accomplished. After 15
unsuccessful attempts, the Octalarm will reset itself.
It is possible to set a specific dialling order for each alarm channel. This alteration has to be carried out
in the installation program. See paragraph 18.7 Prog 42 “set dial sequence”.
Alterations of dialling order have to be carried out carefully, because it might happen that an alarm
will no longer be reported due to a wrong setting!
4.3 Alarm channels and report codes
The Octalarm disposes of respectively 2, 4, 8 or 16 externally activated alarm channels and two
internal channels: "mains failure" and "battery empty". An individual message is assigned to each
channel.
4.3.1 Report to telephone
In case of a telephone report, an individual self-recorded voice message (for version -S) or a
recognizable tone code will be reproduced for each channel.
The tone codes are pre-set and sound for the Octalarm –T2, -T4 and –T8 as follows:
•
alarm channels 1 to 8: respectively 1 to 8 beeps
•
mains failure: 9 beeps
•
battery failure: 10 beeps.
The tone-codes for the Octalarm –T16 sound as follows:
•
alarm channels 1 to 16: respectively 1 to 16 beeps
•
mains failure: 17 beeps
•
battery failure: 18 beeps.
•
The messages (for version -S) can be recorded using the installation program.
