3.11. DIP Switches
DIP Switch 1 (Dial 9 Mode)
Normally when an Emergency Phone comes off hook, it is immediately connected to the telephone line.
In the Dial 9 mode, the Emergency Phone will be connected to an internal line, and a touch-tone 9 is
needed to connect to the outside telephone line. This feature must be used when the
EC-6
is to be used
for internal calls only and no telephone line is connected. The 9 must be followed by at least 3 seconds of
silence so the
EC-6
knows it is a transfer command and not part of a dialing string
.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The internal line
DOES NOT
supply dial tone.
DIP Switch 2 (Line Verification Test)
When this DIP switch is in the
ON
position, the daily line verification test feature is enabled. In
accordance to ASME A17.1, once a day the
EC-6
will check the telephone line for operable loop current.
The
EC-6
will also ring each of the assigned Emergency Phones (see
Section 3, Programming
), to
verify the operability of the lines running to each of the Emergency Phones, (and to be sure the Emergency
Phone is capable of answering). See
Section 4, Operation
for additional details.
DIP Switch 3 (Learn Mode)
This DIP switch feature can be used when the user does not know the 6-digit touch tone security code
needed to enter programming. When this DIP switch is in the
ON
(Learn) position, the
EC-6
will enter the
programming mode immediately on an inbound call, or locally when a Fire Floor, Machine Room, or
Lobby phone comes off hook. Once in programming a new security code can be programmed. Be sure
to set this DIP switch to
OFF
(Normal Operation mode) when finished, so the
EC-6
will operate properly.
