You are now ready to begin operating your system, relying on
The Emergency Caller
to provide 24-hour
security reassurance and peace of mind.
When in the operating mode, the system will monitor the wireless pendant and the Aux. input, initiating dialing
when a valid alarm condition occurs. Upon activation the dialer will begin calling each phone/pager number
selected, in sequence. During each successful attempt, the voice message will be delivered 3 times
(numeric
messages will only be delivered one time).
In unsuccessful attempts, the dialer will move on to the next
phone/pager number after receiving 8 busy or 8 rings without an answer. Once an attempt is successful in
delivering the OGM, it will not dial that number again (Numbers stored as pager numbers will be dialed twice).
The dialer will not allow voice messages to be delivered to programmed numeric pager locations.
If you send a message to a phone attached to an answering machine, it will consider this a successful attempt.
Make sure you designate the maximum number of message repeats to be sure that a complete message will be
left on the answering machine, because part or all of your emergency message may be “lost” while the answering
machine delivers its greeting message.
Placing your system in OPERATE can also be used as a final test of the full functionality of
The Emergency
Caller
’s, momentary/continuous trigger, phone/pager numbers and OGM. Although serving as a test, this mode
reflects actual operation; therefore the OGM will not be heard through your dialer’s speaker but only by each
party called.
To begin operating your system, simply press the “M” Mode key until the word OPERATE appears on the LCD.
To disarm the dialer, switch the mode to OFF by pressing the same key. All programming information will be
retained
Input Activation
The input is activated by the pendant or the Aux. input terminals in the battery compartment. Wireless Activation
is activated by pulling on the pendant. Once the pendant is activated, the
Emergency Caller
will be alarmed and
begin the dialing sequence.
Aux. Activation can be activated by a normally open latching push button or a normally open dry contact
connected to the to the Aux. input terminals. Under a momentary activation, a single violation of the input (either
from the wireless pendant or the Aux. input) will cause the dialer to initiate delivering the OGM to all
programmed numbers. Under continuous activation, the dialer will initiate the process, terminating it if/when the
wireless pendant or Aux. input is restored to a non-alarm state. Once the activated channel has been restored to a
non-alarm state, it will then be re-armed and ready for the next alarm.
Additional Features
The dialer offers three innovative features that enhance the utility of the entire system.
Listen-In
While receiving an OGM on a touch-tone phone, the called party can press “1” to listen in to the activity at the
other end of the line for one minute. Pressing “1” again restarts the minute increment period and can be repeated
indefinitely. When “1” is pressed the OGM will stop playing and the listen in period will start.
