Before you begin, take just a moment to organize your thoughts and to think through what you would like the DD-4 to do for you and in what order. A good starting place generally is to list on the Channel Information List all of the functions that the DD-4 will be monitoring at your location.

1.0 COMPILING DATA

Please, stop now and list each of the functions or alarm conditions that the DD-4 will be monitoring. Fill in the blanks below with this information now. First, list the type of alarm. (EXAMPLE: HIGH WATER OR POWER FAILURE) The next item is "delay". This is the 2 digit delay provided for each alarm condition. Choose from 00 (no delay) to 99 (maximum delay). Enter the value on the blank after delay. Next choose "sec" for seconds delay or "min." for minutes of delay. For example; for a one minute delay enter delay 01 and put a check after min. or sec. Next decide what type of contact closure is appropriate for each alarm condition and put a check after the appropriate type. N/O is the abbreviation for normally open contacts while N/C is normally closed contacts. EXAMPLE:

1. Automatic Teller Down delay 16 sec. min. N/O X N/C

Please complete this information for each channel you wish to monitor. It is not necessary to use all four channels.

1.2 BUILDING THE MASTER TELEPHONE LIST

The second step in gathering data to program the DD-4 Intelligent Dialer requires you to list the telephone numbers to be dialed when an alarm condition becomes valid. The telephone numbers must be listed in an order which will allow you to build a telephone sequence. This telephone sequence is arranged in an order which will allow you to dial the numbers in the rotation you choose. This may require some shuffling of the telephone numbers to achieve the sequence you desire. The DD-4 has one dialing sequence which controls the order of the telephone numbers to be dialed. This is the sequence of telephone numbers to be dialed during an alarm condition.

Use the list below to enter your telephone numbers. Check each number as either a telephone number or a pager number. This check mark is used in programming the DD-4 to identify a telephone number or a pager number. This differentiation is necessary because the dialer uses one protocol for dialing a pager and a different protocol for dialing telephone numbers.

GROUP #1 - Start the list of eight telephone numbers to be dialed. Make the list in pencil (because you will probably make several changes). This list will be referred to as our "Master Telephone List". In the listing include "1" or area code, if required, to dial out from the location where the dialer is physically mounted.

Telephone number 1____________________________tel___pager___
Telephone number 2____________________________tel___pager___
Telephone number 3____________________________tel___pager___
Telephone number 4____________________________tel___pager___
Telephone number 5____________________________tel___pager___
Telephone number 6____________________________tel___pager___
Telephone number 7____________________________tel___pager___
Telephone number 8____________________________tel___pager___

DEFINITIONS: For the purpose of establishing mutual understanding between the DD-4 and you, definitions are listed at the end of this instructional set.

1.3 SELECT TELEPHONE SEQUENCE

The DD-4 has one dialing sequence. The DD-4 calls selected telephone numbers in the sequence until the sequence is completed or an acknowledgment is received. Should no acknowledgment be received, the DD-4 automatically re-dials using the same sequence. A sequence is any group of ascending telephone numbers.

The next fill in the blank is to select the sequence in which you would like the DD-4 to dial. EXAMPLE: Suppose we want to dial the office first, then the supervisor's home number, and then the pager which is carried by the maintenance person on duty:

The first five telephone numbers on the Master Telephone List might look like this:

Telephone number 1: 1 408 232 3343 (office)
Telephone number 2: 563 2323 (John's house at the lake)
Telephone number 3: 234 4432 (Paul's house)
Telephone number 4: 323 4433 (The supervisor's home)
Telephone number 5: #123 7676# (The maintenance person's pager)

To build a sequence we would select the desired telephone number we wish to dial and place a [*]; on the numbers we choose not to dial we would place a [#]. In this example select 1, skip 2 and 3, select 4, and select 5. Thus, our calling sequence would be 1,4,5. Our dialing list would look like this.

EXAMPLE: Telephone dialing sequence

*   #   #   *   *   #   #    # 
1   2    3    4   5   6   7     8

Any telephone number may be listed in any order in the Master Telephone List, and may be listed several times as required. Eight is the maximum number of telephone numbers on the Master Telephone List.

The alarm sequence information is entered by the customer and will be processed by the DD-4 when the Alarm is declared valid. The system will call the telephone numbers selected in the sequence in order upon a valid alarm condition.

Should you require that the alarm notification call different personnel for a specific alarm that ability is available through custom programming which is offered at a nominal rate.

The customer controls which telephone numbers are called by selecting the proper DIALING SEQUENCE.

3.0 ENTERING DATA

3.1 ENTERING DATA INTO THE DD-4

BEFORE PROCEEDING: Confirm that the memory backup battery is connected and the switch is in the ON position ( see INITIAL SET UP IN CATALOG SECTION NUMBER 2). All of the information that was written down in steps 1-4 will now be entered into the DD-4. Entry of information into the DD-4 is done via the telephone hand set furnished with the DD-4. Later, we will discuss how to change information stored in the DD-4 from a touch-tone telephone at any other location. (SEC 9)

To enter data it is necessary to temporarily exit the program which continuously monitors alarms or looks for data changes. This is done by TURNING THE MENU SWITCH CLOCKWISE (RIGHT) ONE NOTCH. The menu switch is located on the lower right side of the DD-4 (ITEM #6 DRAWING NUMBER 3). Please refer to the drawing "UNPACKING AND INITIAL SET UP" in this manual to identify the menu switch. Turn the switch clockwise, then the DD-4 will recognize your request. Depending upon where in the program the processor is working the request is recognized in several seconds. If the request is not recognized in several seconds depress the reset (red push button) this will cause the DD-4 to report to the Main Menu immediately. When your request is acknowledged the DD-4 will announce that you are in the Main Menu please select sub menu: Programming must be done before voice message will be broadcast. It will make programming easier if the Reply Prompts are done first.

3.2 ENTERING TELEPHONE MENU

STEP 1. Prior to entering the telephone numbers make sure all other variables and the voice are entered into the system. To enter the "TELEPHONE MENU" input the number [1] digit on the touch tone pad and wait. The system will deliver a voice message "TELEPHONE", (if the voice message is installed) or a moderate hum like tone (if the message is not programmed). Either way, the DD-4 can be programmed. The voice message is a prompt only and is not required to program the DD-4.

The Menu allows the customer the option to change the telephone number, set the telephone sequence, select the number of rings before hang-up or exit the program. If we had arrived here by mistake we would exit by entering the [#] key on the keypad. For practice, key the [#] and see what happens. Enter the [#] key now., the DD-4 will go back to Main menu. It did not enter a new telephone number.

STEP 2. Proceed with the programming of the telephone number after the voice prompt, which says "Main Menu." To proceed with the programming input [1].

STEP 3. Select the sequence number of the telephone number you wish to enter. This number will be on the MASTER TELEPHONE LIST. Valid sequence numbers are 1 thru 8 only, other keys or numbers are not valid. You may select any telephone sequence number, but to keep the process flowing smoothly we will select telephone sequence number one (1). Ready to proceed? On the touch tone pad depress the key which corresponds to the telephone sequence number which you wish to enter. In our example depress key [1]. Depress that key now:

Step 4. The next step will be to enter the first digit of the telephone number you plan to enter. From the telephone list which you generated earlier, select telephone number one from the MASTER TELEPHONE LIST. Now select the first digit of the first telephone number. Input that digit with the touch tone keypad.

Each of the following digits of the telephone number are entered the same way; use the same typical speed that you would to dial any other touch tone number. Do not try to race or hurry on entering digits. Take your time. When the complete new telephone number is entered, the entire telephone number will then be stored in memory. Enter the remaining digits until the last digit has been entered. After the last digit is entered input the [*] key. This tells the DD-4 we are at the end of the sequence for this telephone number, go store the telephone number. If you have not already done so enter the remaining digits of telephone number one and then finish the sequence with the entry of the [*] key. The telephone numbers do not have a space between digits when entered.

EXAMPLE: To enter telephone number 134 9876 key the numbers as follows: [1] [3] [4] [9] [8] [7] [6] [*]. The asterisk sign [*] terminates the telephone entry program.

Once you are finished entering data the DD-4 will return to the MAIN MENU prompt. If you have successfully arrived at this point you have installed the telephone number.

Return to Top

3.3 ENTERING PAGER TELEPHONE NUMBERS

The pager sequence is identified by entered an [*] as the 1st key stroke. This will set the dialer protocol to dial the pager rather than a standard telephone number.

The [*] before the telephone number tells the DD-4 that we want this number to be a pager number and to use the pager dial-out protocol. If a pager is to be called enter the [*] key once on the touch tone keypad before entering the pager telephone number. Example: [*] [1] [2] [3] [5] [6] [7] [8]. Note that the sequence is prefixed with the [*] key.

Return to Top

3.4 TO SELECT A DELAY WITHIN THE TELEPHONE NUMBER

You will use the [#] key to select a delay within the telephone number. Example: to enter telephone number 8 (1 second delay) 345 6789 the input key sequence would look like this: [8] [#] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [*]

The [#] key will enter the delay and the [*] will cause the number to be recorded. When the number is stored the program returns to the MAIN MENU prompt.

When entering digits the DD-4 will allow the user to input up to sixteen (16) digits or characters. At the end of 16 inputs the system automatically enters an EOLC an end of list character [*], and terminates the data input program.

Return to Top

3.5 INCORRECT TELEPHONE NUMBERS

If the telephone number is incorrect, begin the process over by selecting [1] at the MAIN MENU and continue as before. Using the MASTER TELEPHONE LIST enter each telephone number as listed . Complete the entry of each additional telephone number by repeating the procedure until each entry is completed and correct. Each input is done in the same way and at the same speed that you would dial any other touch tone number. Do not try to race or hurry on the entering data. TAKE YOUR TIME.

As with the previous section we begin at the DD-4 MAIN MENU prompt. Repeating: to get here, turn the menu button one notch to the right. Or input a [ #] on the touch tone pad if you are someplace else in the menu program. To get to the TELEPHONE MENU from the MAIN MENU input the digit [1]. This will access the TELEPHONE MENU

Return to Top

3.6 BUILDING A TELEPHONE DIALING SEQUENCE

To select a sequence number enter [1] at the MAIN MENU prompt.

After the voice prompt begin the telephone sequence program by inputting [9]. At this prompt there are two options available. Entering a [*] selects the telephone number to dial, and entering a [#] skips the telephone number for this sequence. After your choice is made the system increments to the next number in the sequence. At this prompt we are still dealing with sequence 1. If you want telephone number 2 to be on the dialing list of sequence 1 then input an [*]. If you desire to skip (do not dial) the telephone number 2 then input [#]. The DD-4 will automatically step through each of the eight telephone numbers on the Master telephone list and you will select a dial or no dial choice for each telephone number. The next step would be to select dial [*] or no dial [#] for the next telephone number (3). Repeat the same process for each of the remaining telephone numbers. The sequence may be configured to dial any or all of the telephone numbers in the MASTER TELEPHONE LIST. When the selection for the sequence is completed the program automatically returns to the DD-4 MAIN MENU prompt.

Return to Top

3.7 SET THE TIME DELAY BETWEEN EACH SUCCESSIVE TELEPHONE DIALING SEQUENCE

To set the time delay between each telephone call, bring up the MAIN MENU prompt. Next select and enter digit number [7] to access the Master Menu.

Then enter [4]. Next enter a choice from below.

[1] Selects one (1) minute between each call delay
[2] Selects two (2) minutes between each call for delay
[3] Selects three (3) minutes between each call for a delay
[0] Selects no time delay (0) minutes between each call for faster notification.

Return to Top

3.8 SET THE NUMBER OF RINGS BEFORE THE TELEPHONE HANGS UP

This program is used to establish the number of ring attempts the DD-4 will dial before abandoning the calling attempt because of a "no answer condition".

To select the number of rings of the telephone before hang-up, access the MAIN MENU. At the MAIN MENU prompt enter [7] to access the MASTER MENU. Now enter [5]. Enter the first of two digits which will define the number of rings. Example: If you wanted to have 6 rings before hang-up enter [0] as the first digit and [6] as the second digit. The maximum number of rings is 48. After entering the data, The DD-4 will return to the MAIN MENU.

SUMMARY: AT THE MAIN MENU:

Enter [#] to exit Main Menu, then turn Menu knob counter-clockwise quickly.

[Alternate method: Turn the Menu knob counter clockwise on notch and momentarily depress the Red Reset button.]

Enter [#] to return to MAIN MENU.

Enter [1] at the MAIN MENU to access the TELEPHONE MENU.

4.0 ALARM MESSAGE

We will discuss each of the choices [1], [2], [3], [4], [5],[6], [7], [8], and [9].

On a new system it is best to install the VOICE REPLIES first. This will provide voice prompts to assist the first time user. Go to section 4.3 for first time start-up.

Return to Top

4.1 GENERAL INFORMATION FOR RECORDING AN ALARM MESSAGE ON THE DD-4

At this time, please refer to the CHANNEL INFORMATION LIST on Page 1, which was completed earlier. From the information on this list we will generate a voice message which will define the alarm condition for each of the four channels. Begin with the 1st ALARM DESCRIPTION in our list. As an example, use "REPAIR CREW HERE" as channel 1. At this time think of what message you would like to convey to the called person when the "REPAIR CREW HERE" condition is activated. An example may be "This is the repair crew reporting in this is a normal situation and no response is required at this time". The message which we will install will be about 12 seconds long. Another way of looking at the repair crew alarm may be that when a station is opened a time delay is activated and the repair person has a preset time to reset the alarm condition. Failure to reset the alarm would cause the DD-4 to call out. This would indicate that the repair person was unable to access the reset button and may have fallen or had some other problem. The system could summon help in such a situation. The message in this example would be different and could say that "the repair person was unable to acknowledge the safety switch and requires help". Select the appropriate message and time the message to insure that all important information is included. To record an alarm message on the DD-4, the system must first be in the ALARM MENU. To get here from the MAIN MENU input the digit [2]. This will place you in the sub menu called ALARM MENU.

At this prompt select and enter digit [1]. This will set up the system to record the alarm message and store this message on sequence one.

This is a temporary resting place. Now compose your thoughts and get an idea of what you would like to record for the 1st alarm message. When you are composed and ready to proceed enter [*]. You now have a two second delay. This is almost exactly enough time to hold the telephone handset in your hand, depress the [*] key in a normal fashion, and bring the telephone handset up to the position where you can speak into the mouthpiece. At the end of two seconds, the recording electronics will record your message as spoken into the telephone handset as though you were talking to another person on the telephone. Speak loudly and clearly, do not "mumble". The recorded message will accurately store your tone and inflection in memory. At the completion of the allotted time for the alarm message the system will then automatically reset to the MAIN MENU prompt. Use the same procedure to install each of the four alarm messages for the system. You may review the message, and if for any reason, you are not satisfied with sound, tone, or verbiage, then re-record the message.

Return to Top

4.2 SELECT [1-4] TO RECORD A NEW ALARM MESSAGE

To install alarms begin at the MAIN MENU. Input [2] to access the ALARM MENU

At this prompt we have four choices (1 thru 4). Select the sequence number which you would like to enter. Input that number now. If the input key is not in the range of 1-4 the system will reset and request that you re-enter your request. EXAMPLE: For our example we will use alarm 3 . The alarm message in this example is "POWER FAILURE". Inputting [3] will set the system ready to record ALARM MESSAGE 3

In our EXAMPLE select ALARM MESSAGE 3. Refer back to the our original list of alarms conditions. This is the alarm message which we would like to record and store for future playback. Before entering the next input [*], read the following:

This is a resting point, do not key anything just yet. Hold the handset in one hand and when ready to enter the new message depress the [*] key with the other hand. Remember there is exactly enough time programmed in for a delay to allow you to normally move the handset to your mouth and begin speaking in a normal tone of voice into the mouthpiece. Each Alarm message will have about 12.5 seconds of message. You will be able to tell when the message begins and when it ends by listening to the handset. A soft "click" will be heard when the recording starts and again when it finishes recording. When the recorded alarm message is complete the system returns to the DD-4 MAIN MENU prompt

Enter sequence number, then enter [*] and begin recording

Seq #    
Enter [1] Enter [*] Begin recording alarm message #1

4.3 INSTALLING THE REPLY PROMPTS

To install voice prompts begin at the MAIN MENU. Input [3] to access the Group 1 REPLY MENU. A slightly different procedure is used to install the REPLY PROMPTS in GROUP 2 as explained above the table. Before entering the next input [*], read the following:

This is a resting point, do not key anything just yet. Hold the handset in one hand and when ready to enter the new message depress the [*] key with the other hand. Remember there is exactly enough time programmed in for a delay to allow you to normally move the handset to your mouth and begin speaking in a normal tone of voice into the mouthpiece. Each REPLY message will have several seconds of message. You will be able to tell when the message begins and when it ends by listening to the handset. A soft "click" will be heard when the recording starts and again when it finishes recording. When the recorded alarm message is complete the system returns to the DD-4 MAIN MENU prompt.

Enter sequence number, then enter [*] and begin recording

GROUP 1 REPLY PROMPTS: ENTER [3] AT MAIN MENU TO ACCESS Enter [1] to access Group 1 Reply Prompts, enter sequence number, then enter [*] and begin recording. (--- means 1 second pause between words)

4.4 INSTALLING A NEW REPLY PROMPT (GROUP 1 or 2)

At the MAIN MENU prompt and select REPLY MENU by inputting a [3]. The confirmation of "REPLY" is broadcast.

Select 1-7 for the appropriate reply response. The next key input is [*]. Do not input just yet.

We are at a resting point, do not key anything just yet. Hold the handset in one hand and when ready to enter the new message depress the [*] key with the other hand. There is exactly enough time programmed in for a delay to allow you to normally move the handset to your mouth and begin speaking in a normal tone of voice into the mouthpiece. The length of the reply prompts will vary according to which reply is selected. Some of the replies are grouped together to expedite the input of data and will not necessarily be played back in one group as recorded. The voice messages are stored in the PROMS in one long continuous message. The DD-4 can select any portion of the list and playback that section only. This becomes apparent when one selects at the REPLY MENU the choice [9] which plays back all of the reply prompts. The reply prompts are much shorter than the alarm messages. You will be able to tell when the recorded message begins and when it ends by listening to the handset. A slight click will be heard when the unit starts recording and when the recording is completed. When the recorded reply prompt is completed and stored, the system returns to the DD-4 MAIN MENU.

To playback reply prompts begin at the MAIN MENU. Input (3) to access the REPLY MENU.

Section 5.0 deals with setting the time delays and the type of alarm contact for each of the alarms to be monitored. To make the process of time delays more effective and to provide a written record which we may like to review at some later time, the INFORMATION LIST should be filled out prior to beginning the process of setting the time delays. The paper work will take more time and thinking than the actual installation of the values into the DD-4 system. During the early part of this instruction set we requested that you fill out a CHANNEL INFORMATION LIST. From this list we will get the information to program the time delays for the DD-4. If for some reason the worksheet is not completed please complete the data now. When you have the completed data sheet at hand we are ready to continue.

7.1 RESET THE CALL BACK TIME TO ZERO AT THE MAIN MENU SELECT [7] MASTER MENU AND THEN SELECT [8]

The choice of [8] at the MASTER MENU will reset the call back time to zero. By inputting [8] at this prompt you are telling the system that the problem is corrected and you are resetting the time delays back to normal by restoring the original time delays. When the next change of status exists the register which holds the count down time will be decremented and when any of the registers decrement to zero, the alarm is declared valid and the system will then begin calling out.

7.3 CODE ACCESS TO THE DD-4

Access to the DD-4 is achieved on two levels. The first level of access will allow the user to review or change any of the features of the DD-4. This is at the DD-4 unit via MENU SWITCH. The second level will allow only "approved" personnel access to the MAIN MENU (REMOTELY via telephone) which could make changes in the status of the system as currently programmed. The unit as standard will allow any person access to the system at the DD-4 location, but not remotely.

7.4 CHANGE THE STATION ID NUMBER WHICH IS USED ON A TONE PAGER WHICH IDENTIFIES THE STATION WHICH IS CALLING

To access the STATION ID NUMBER PROGRAM enter digit [7] at the MAIN MENU prompt. This will access the MASTER MENU.

Now enter [6] to access the STATION ID CODE program. To change input [*]. then enter the 1st digit of the STATION ID CODE number. Enter the 2nd digit of the STATION ID CODE. Enter the 3rd and final digit. If the entries were "321", then the "321" would appear in the pager window when called In this example the STATION ID CODE which would be displayed on the pager LCD display will be 321-. Each alarm which is active and timed out will appear following the STATION ID CODE. If the alarms 1 and 3 were active, the LCD on the dialed pager would display "321-13". The customer must make other provisions for the acknowledgment of the DD-4 because the pager is unable to send back a tone which the DD-4 will accept as an acknowledgment code.

8.0 POWER FAILURE ALARM

The DD-4 has the ability to selectively call out or bypass the A/C power failure option. When A/C power failure option is selected, the DD-4 is programmed to call out on the failure of A/C power to the unit when the power fail timer has decremented to zero. The status of the A/C line is continuously monitored for the presence of A/C Power. When the system detects that A/C power is no longer available to the DD-4, the system will automatically invoke the appropriate dialing sequence and begin to call out. The voice prompt will advise the answered party to "please stand by" and then will begin to describe the location and identifier associated with the station in alarm and will say "This is a power failure :power failure". If any other alarms are active these alarms will be broadcast following the "power failure message" and the DD-4 will then ask the called party to "Enter his ID code and response". Please see section 9.1 for a discussion of the response options.

Should the customer choose not to monitor A/C power, this option is available and is selected as follows. Go to the Main Menu and enter [7] for the time delay menu. Then select [2] and then [#] for no power fail or [digit one] and [digit two] for the power fail delay in minutes. If you want a three minute time delay (03), enter [0], and then enter [3]. At the completion of the entry of the second digit, the system will automatically reset to the Main Menu and store the time delay (03 minutes) in the system. The initial test values set AC Fail to off. This is selected by entering [7], [4], [4] at the MAIN MENU. This will also reset all other values to the default values.

9.0 REMOTE ACCESS

The DD-4 can be programmed on site or remotely via telephone. Programming the DD-4 with a telephone at a location other than the site is called REMOTE ACCESS. The DD-4 provides for REMOTE ACCESS but, requires that the party possess the knowledge and the proper code to access the system. The level of access via telephone (REMOTE ACCESS) is the same level of access that an operator has at the site. That is, he may change the telephone numbers, messages or other functions of the system. Each called party is assigned a unique ID code which will be used when accessing the system. The ID code is a two digit number. The system is set up to accept any combinations of codes from 00 to 99. Custom programming can limit the numbers to a small number window or specific codes as may be necessary. The ID code a pair of numbers. The ACCESS CODE is an entirely different set of numbers and is composed of 4 digits which have been previously installed in the DD-4.

Return to Top

9.1 ACKNOWLEDGING AN ALARM CONDITION

To ACKNOWLEDGE an alarm condition, the ID code and response digit is required. The acknowledgment procedure is as follows:

The DD-4 begins the dialing sequence. The first number is called and the telephone assigned to the first dialed number begins to "ring". Several possibilities exist:

1. The telephone is answered on the 1st through the nth ring.

a. The message will be delivered approximately 2 seconds after the called party picks up the telephone. The called party may listen, do nothing, and then hang up. This would cause the DD-4 to hang up after a time delay, then begin to dial the next number in the dial sequence.

b. The telephone is answered as above, but at the appropriate time, the called party enters his two digit Personal ID Code and the response digit corresponding to the required response desired of the DD-4. If the response digit is a [7], access to the MAIN MENU is offered. To successfully access the MAIN MENU, the 4 digit ACCESS CODE must be entered. If the response digit is a [9], the DD-4 will then activate the FAIL SAFE CALL BACK system. This will delay any further alarm call from the unit until the preset time delay has completed the count down to zero.

c. Incorrect entry of the Personal ID Code and/or response digit will cause the system to begin calling the next number in the sequence.

2. If the telephone is not answered within the selected number of rings or the telephone line is busy or out of service, then the DD-4 will call the next number in the dialing sequence.

3. If the called party answers and hangs up with no code entry or an incorrect code entry, the system will hang up and dial the next number in the dialing sequence.

4. If the called party has hung up the telephone and decides he wishes to remotely access the MAIN MENU, he may call back to the DD-4, enter the proper acknowledge code and correct ACCESS CODE, and select any allowed option on the DD-4 MAIN MENU.

Return to Top

9.2 REMOTE ACCESS OF THE DD-4 MAIN MENU

Remote access to the MAIN MENU is allowed providing the calling party has the proper acknowledge code and proper ACCESS CODE to enter the MAIN MENU. If the calling party dials the telephone number assigned to the DD-4 the system will answer and will say "HELLO. THIS IS THE DD-4 AT BODUNK VILLA LIFT STATION" or whatever reply prompt is programmed into the system. At the end of the description of the station location the system will ask the called party to: "PLEASE ENTER YOUR ID CODE AND RESPONSE". If the calling party enters his two digit ID CODE and [3] the system will ask again for his ID CODE AND RESPONSE. If the proper ACCESS CODE is entered at the second request, the caller will be then connected to the MAIN MENU. This is the same level of access that is allowed at the site on the DD-4 telephone set. The called party may then reset the call back time delay to zero, may change the telephone messages or replies, or may change the telephone numbers stored in the system. Custom programming can add the ability for the customer to change the access code if desired. The calling party may access the CURRENT ALARM STATUS without an access code.

Return to Top

9.3. BROADCASTING THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE SYSTEM

It is assumed that the status of the system is no national secret, therefore the access to this data is "free", that is, it does not require an ACCESS CODE to retrieve this data. But, again the necessary procedures must be followed to access the system. By activating this part of the program, the system will broadcast the system location and the status of any alarm which is active. If no alarms are active the system will advise the calling party that "THERE ARE NO ACTIVE ALARMS AT THIS TIME". This information requires no ACCESS CODE, but one would have to know the protocol for accessing the information. If the calling party enters his two digit code followed by the digit [2] when calling the DD-4, the system will then broadcast the location of the station and the alarms which are active at that time. No access to the MAIN MENU of the system is permitted remotely without first successfully entering the ID CODE, the required digit and the correct four digit ACCESS CODE.

11.0 REMOTE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE DD-4

There may be occasions where the customer may wish to call the DD-4 and remotely activate the acknowledge feature of the DD-4 dialer. This is accomplished by dialing the telephone number assigned to the DD-4, the unit will answer and identify itself and ask you enter your id code and response. At this prompt you would enter the two digit ID Code assigned to each called party and then the number "3". The unit will again ask for your ID code and response, at this prompt enter the four digit access code to access the system.. Select Master Menu [7], wait until the system replies "Master", then enter [9] and enter [#] to exit. This is the same program as if the DD-4 called the telephone number and the answering party entered his two digit ID Code and number "9".

LIST OF DEFINITION OF TERMS USED IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

ACCESS CODE: a four digit code which is stored in the DD-4 and is entered by a called party at the requested time. Correct entry of the access code allows the caller to be connected to the main menu.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT: this is the confirmation entered by the called party which tells the DD-4 that the called party will assume the responsibility to report to the site and to correct the situation which caused the alarm.

ALARM MESSAGE: is the alarm message which defines any of the 8 alarm conditions and is approximately 12.5 second long and is broadcast to the called party when the DD-4 has confirmed that an alarm condition is present.

BROADCAST: a voice message that is repeated over the speaker or the telephone handset. The message is generated by the DD-4 and programmed by the customer. The message may be a reply prompt (this directs the operation and is an audible aid to operation of the DD-4), or an alarm message (a message designed to relay to the called party the nature of the alarm and the desired response expected from the person receiving the call).

DIGIT: a digit is a single number from 1 to 9 and includes zero (0).

DRY CONTACT: in the context of this instructional set "dry contact" will mean that the contacts (either n/o or n/c) carry no voltage which is generated by the alarm contact being monitored. All voltages required to confirm a contact change of status are generated by the DD-4 system. Do not under any condition attempt to supply voltage to the alarm contacts which report to the DD-4. The DD-4 will supply the necessary voltage. Supply only the contacts (n/o or n/c) and the wire. Repeat: no voltage is supplied to the DD-4 by the alarm condition being monitored.

ID CODE: a two digit code which is used by individuals to either access the DD-4 or respond to a call from the DD-4.

INPUT: Input is the command to depress the key on the telephone key pad which corresponds to the number you wish to enter i.e., input [ 7 ] translates to depress key number 7.

KEY PAD: the plastic part of the telephone handset which contains the keys which have numbers on them and is used to dial telephone numbers or enter information into the DD-4.

LCD DISPLAY: the term LCD display refers to the liquid crystal display. This is the small tv like screen on the front a digital pager is used to display the alarm location and alarms activated when the DD-4 dials a pager.

LED "LIGHT EMITTING DIODE": this is one of the many small lights on the DD-4 which define the conditions as either on or off. If an LED is on, this indicates that the function associated with the LED is active. Thus, the first green light of the alarm bypass LED=s would confirm that the alarm bypass switch is activated for the corresponding position of the LED.

MASTER TELEPHONE LIST: this is the list of up to eight telephone numbers used by the DD-4 to call out and broadcast the alarm message(s) when the alarm is declared valid.

N/O (NORMALLY OPEN): in this application n/o means that the contact type which is used to relay information from the alarm to the DD-4 is normally (while not in alarm) open and does not provide a signal to the DD-4. When an alarm condition is present the signal is then provided to the DD-4.

N/C (NORMALLY CLOSED): in this application n/c is the contact type which is generally considered to be a closed loop type and if the loop is "broken" an alarm condition exists. This type of contact closure is exactly the reverse of the n/o contact.

REPLY PROMPT: a reply prompt is a brief message which is generated by the DD-4 and broadcast over the speaker and the telephone hand set. Typically it is a one sentence statement to assist the individual entering data or accessing the DD-4.

RESPONSE: This is the action taken when a called party or a party in communication with the DD-4 via touch tone telephone. His response is the entry of certain numbers on the keypad which communicate his request for action to the DD-4.

RESPONSE CODE: this is a single digit which when input following the customer id code will direct the DD-4 to perform a specific function.

TELEPHONE NUMBER: is an orderly list of digits which when dialed connect the DD-4 to the desired called party.

VALID ALARM CONDITION: a valid alarm condition exists when the time delay set for the alarm has expired and the alarm condition is still active and the alarm bypass select switch for that alarm is not active. Then a valid alarm condition exists.

BATTERY SWITCH

Battery switch is a slide switch which is normally on [to the right]. This allows the battery to hold power on the voice chips during temporary power outages or to allow for chip removal and replacement without reprogramming the voice messages. This switch is located below and to the right of the small 6-volt battery in the lower left hand corner of the board.

Return to Top

BUS LIGHTS

BUS lights are the small 4-packaged LED units, one red and one green, below the green bypass lights. These are called BUS lights because they are on the "A" BUS of the micro processor. When running two reds and two greens alternate once per second. This is the normal run mode. Another light pattern exists when the system is in MAIN MENU.
