Alarm Dialer:
The
K-202-DVA
calls the list of up to 7 phone numbers associated with an alarm input when the input
has reached the alarm state.
Alarm Input:
One of two inputs for alarm sensors which may be connected to the
K-202-DVA
. Each input may be
configured as normally open, normally closed, or disabled. In addition, each input may be configured to require a
momentary or continuous closure.
Alarm Message:
One of two user-recorded announcements associated with a corresponding alarm input. Each
message may be up to one minute in length.
Alarm State:
An alarm input reaches this state when there has been a closure across the input (if normally open) or
an open (if normally closed) for a minimum amount of time. If the Qualifier Timer is set to zero, this minimum time is
about 90ms. Otherwise the time to reach the alarm state is the value the Qualifier Timer has been set to (ranging from
1 second to 18 hours).
Call Progress Detection:
This feature enables the
K-202-DVA
to determine when the number it is calling has
answered so that it can start playing the alarm message.
Forced Play Timer:
The forced play timer is operational when the Call Progress Detection has been disabled. Instead
of starting the alarm message when the call is picked up, the
K-202-DVA
waits a set period of time (from 1 - 99
seconds) after the number is dialed before it starts playing the message. This feature would ordinarily only be used
when for some reason reliable call progress detection is not possible; for example: if one or more of the lines being
called is very noisy.
Hookswitch Flash Before Dialing:
In some alarm dialing applications, it is necessary for the
K-202-DVA
to provide
a 500ms hookswitch flash before dialing any programmed phone number. This feature can be enabled or disabled on
a global basis (applies to both inputs and all dial numbers).
Lap Counter:
The Lap Counter is a programmable counter that sets how many times the
K-202-DVA
will cycle through
its list of up to 7 numbers for a given input before it gives up and stops the alarm dialing procedure. The Lap Counter
is set individually for each input and can be from 1 - 99.
Message Repeat Count:
This is the number of times the alarm message is repeated per call. The Message Repeat
Count is set individually for each input and can be from 1-99.
Pager Number:
A phone number of up to 32 digits which can be used to dial pagers (no alarm message is played).
Priority:
Input 1 has higher priority than Input 2.
PA (Public Address) Mode:
In this mode, the
K-202-DVA
dials an access code to play the messages over a PA
(public address) system, versus dialing telephone numbers that will be answered by live people.
Qualifier Timer:
This is a user-programmable timer that can be set from 1 second to 18 hours and specifies the
amount of time that a closure must stay in effect before the
K-202-DVA
enters the alarm state. The default value of
the Qualifier Timer is 0, which is OFF.
Remote Access Code:
A six-digit code required for remotely accessing the
K-202-DVA
in order to poll the alarm
inputs to see if they have entered the alarm state and have not been reset.
Reset State:
An alarm is reset if the called party or the remotely accessing user dials a touch-tone “9” during the
alarm message. The alarm input resumes normal operation after the
Resume Timer
expires.
Ring Delay:
This is the number of rings the
K-202-DVA
waits before answering an inbound call. The Ring Delay must
be set from 0-9, with 0 specifying that incoming calls are not to be answered.
Ringback Limit:
This is the number of times the
K-202-DVA
will allow the phone to ring when trying to reach a
number on its phone number list before giving up and going on to the next number.
Resume Timer:
This is a user-programmable timer that can be set from 1 second to 18 hours and specifies the
amount of time after an alarm input is reset before it resumes normal operation and begins looking for alarms again.
See Operation for a discussion of how the Resume timer determines when an alarm input leaves the reset state.
The default value of the Resume Timer is zero, which is OFF.
Security Code:
A six-digit code required for entering programming.
