INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROGRAMMING THE SD-8
Before you begin, take just a moment to organize your thoughts and to think through what you would like the SD-8 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 SD-8 will be monitoring at your location.
Please, stop now and list each of the functions or alarm conditions that the SD-8 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. High water Wet Well 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 eight channels. However, we strongly recommend programming all channels when programming.

1.2 BUILDING THE MASTER TELEPHONE LIST
The second step in gathering data to program the SD-8 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 SD-8 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 SD-8 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.
TELEPHONE DIALING LIST
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 SD-8 and you, definitions are listed at the end of this instructional set.
The SD-8 has one dialing sequence. The SD-8 calls selected telephone numbers in the sequence until the sequence is completed or an acknowledgment is received. Should no acknowledgment be received, the SD-8 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 SD-8 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 SD-8 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.

3.1 ENTERING DATA INTO THE SD-8
BEFORE PROCEEDING: All of the information that was previously written down will now be entered into the SD-8. Entry of information into the SD-8 is done via the telephone hand set furnished with the SD-8. Later, we will discuss how to change information stored in the SD-8 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 moving the slide switch MENU/RUN marked SW-3 to the left. This moves the position from the RUN> mode to the <MENU mode. The MENU/RUN switch is located on the MIDDLE of the board closest to the right side of the SD-8. The legend is clearly printed on the face of the main board. Slide the switch to the LEFT, then the SD-8 will recognize your request. Depending upon where in the program the processor is working the request is recognized in less than three seconds. If the request is not recognized in several seconds depress the reset (red push button top board upper right corner), this will cause the SD-8 to report to the Main Menu immediately. When your request is acknowledged the SD-8 will announce that you are in the "Main Menu."
STEP 1. 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 MENU."
The Menu allows the customer the option to change the telephone number, set the telephone sequence, 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 SD-8 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. Enter the remaining digits until the last digit of the telephone number has been entered. After the last digit is entered input the [*] key. This tells the SD-8 we are at the end of the sequence for this telephone number. Store the telephone number. Depressing the [*] key will cause the new telephone number to be stored in memory. 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. There is no entry for the dash in a telephone number so ignore the dash.
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 one data item the SD-8 will return to the MAIN MENU prompt. If you have successfully arrive at this point you have installed the telephone number.
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 SD-8 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, then the number and an [*] to store the pager telephone number.
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 (then a required 1 second pause) 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 SD-8 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 (End Of List Character) [*], and terminates the data input program.
3.5 INCORRECT TELEPHONE NUMBERS
If the telephone number is incorrect, enter [*] to exit to the Main Menu. 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 SD-8 MAIN MENU prompt. Repeating: To get here, slide the Menu/run switch to the left. 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.
3.6 BUILDING A TELEPHONE DIALING SEQUENCE
To establish a telephone sequence enter the number [1] at the MAIN MENU prompt. This will access the TELEPHONE MENU.
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 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 SD-8 will automatically step through each of the eight telephone numbers on the Master telephone list (whether or not you have a programmed number in memory). You will select a dial or no dial choice for each of the telephone number. 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 SD-8 MAIN MENU prompt. Program a [#] if no telephone number is programmed.
3.7 SET THE TIME DELAY BETWEEN EACH SUCCESSIVE TELEPHONE DIALING SEQUENCE
The default is set at one minute, if this is satisfactory skip to SECTION 3.8 below. 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.
When your choice is entered, the SD-8 will automatically return to Main Menu. All values may be changed at any time as desired.
3.8 SET THE NUMBER OF RINGS BEFORE THE TELEPHONE DISCONNECTS (HANGS-UP)
This program is used to establish the number of ring attempts the SD-8 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], the [*] key, and 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 99. After entering the data, The SD-8 will return to the MAIN MENU.
SUMMARY:
to go to the MAIN MENU while in the run mode:
Move the slide switch marked MENU/RUN to the left. This will access the Main Menu.
AT THE MAIN MENU
Enter [1] at the MAIN MENU to access the TELEPHONE MENU.
THEN:
Enter one telephone sequence (1-8), then enter the telephone number and enter [*] to end entry input
Seq # |

3.9 TELEPHONE NUMBERS RECAP OF FEATURES:
If you are calling into the SD-8 from a touch tone telephone to initiate a hang-up while at the Main Menu depress the [#] key. This will cause the SD-8 to hang up and resume normal run operation.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESET THE SD-8 WHILE THE UNIT IS DIALING OUT A TELEPHONE NUMBER. This will lock up the SD-8 on a tone (whatever tone was being dialed when you depressed the reset button). Should you do this and are now looking for a way out, there are two ways:
1. Disconnect all power to the unit and switch the battery switch off. Restore power and hit the reset button. Be sure to switch the battery switch back to the "ON" position.
2. Trip a
channel which is connected to the SD-8. This will cause the unit
to begin calling out. You may terminate the call by depressing
the reset button. But do not depress the reset button while the
SD-8 is calling out, or you will be back to step 1 above.
Return to Top
4.0 VOICE MESSAGES: PROMPTS & ALARMS
On a new system all replies prompts and alarm messages are pre-recorded. This will provide voice prompts to assist the first time user. The voice prompts and the alarm messages are the two groups of voice messages. Each group is stored on a separate IC on the second (lower) board. The reply prompts includes some 24 words or phrases. The alarm messages and station identifier are stored on the second chip.
4.1 RECORDING A STATION IDENTIFIER AND THE ALARM MESSAGES ON THE SD-8
The station identifier prompt is the first prompt to be recorded. The second recorded message is alarm channel 1. 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 eight channels. Begin with the first message, the station identifier. This message is used when the telephone is answered to convey to the called party the location of the SD-8. Example, "This is the SD-8 on Hill Street beside the fire department." This prompt is the first statement presented to the called party on an alarm condition. The purpose of this statement is to convey to the called party where the alarm message originated. This message may be any length considering the fact that 90 seconds of speech is allocated to this message and the 8 alarm messages.
To install the station identifier and 8 alarm messages begin at the Main Menu and enter [2]. This will place you in the alarm submenu. To begin recording enter [9] on the keypad. You will get a massage which says "BEGIN RECORDING". The station identifier and all alarm messages are recorded at one time. To start the message a "*" is used. To terminate the message a "*" key is also used. The second "*" key signifies an end to the recorded message. The time between recording messages is dependent upon the individual making the recording and is no set time. All eight alarms and station identifier are recorded during the same process. Hold the handset in one hand and when ready to enter the new message depress the [*] key with the other hand. There is enough time to allow you to move the handset to your mouth and begin speaking in a normal tone of voice into the mouthpiece.
RECAP:
To begin the recording process:
Example:
Main Menu, [2], pause, [9]
[*], record IDENTIFIER message, [*],
[*], record 1st alarm message, [*], etc.
continue until the station identifier and ALL EIGHT alarm messages are recorded. The SD-8 will automatically return to the Main Menu when the last message is input and a final [*] is entered.
At the completion of the above sequence the SD-8 will return to the Main Menu.
4.2 FACTORY DEFAULT VOICE PROMPTS:
Should you choose to install you own custom messages, this is easy to do and may be redone should you not be pleased with the results. Proceed as follows;
EXAMPLE:
Main Menu, [2], pause,[9]
SD-8 says "BEGIN RECORDING"
wait until the recording is finished and proceed as follows:
[*], "This is the SD-8 on Hillstreet beside the fire department", [*],
[*], "This is the repair crew. . . ", [*], etc.
until station identifier and eight alarm messages are recorded.
Entering another [*] will take you back to the Main Menu
The alarm message should average 10 seconds. The total time for all nine messages is 90 seconds.
The alarm message may state the problem and suggest a solution.
4.3 DISCUSSION: (ADDITIONAL USES)
Another way of looking at a repair crew alarm may be that when a station is opened a time delay is activated and the repair person has a pre-set time to reset the alarm condition. Failure to reset the alarm would cause the SD-8 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.
The time between entering the [*] to end the recording and entering the next [*] is a temporary resting place. Compose your thoughts and get an idea of what you would like to record for each alarm message. When you are composed and ready to proceed enter [*]. This is 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. 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 number of the alarm messages, the system will then automatically reset to the MAIN MENU prompt with the entry of a [*] keystroke. Use the same procedure to install each of the eight alarm messages for the system. You may review the messages, and if for any reason, you are not satisfied with sound, tone, or verbiage, then re-record the entire sequence.
Enter [2] then [9], "BEGIN RECORDING" then enter [*] to begin recording

4.4 INSTALLING THE REPLY PROMPTS
The reply prompts are pre-recorded at the factory. It is not necessary nor recommended to change these prompts. Each of the prompts which are broadcast are generated by the user for aiding in programming and remote access to the SD-8 Main Menu Program. A complete list of each reply prompt, where it belongs, and where it is played is listed in this section at 4.3. The procedure for re-recording the factory installed prompts is described in section 4.6

4.6 HOW TO RECORD THE REPLY PROMPTS ON CHIP #2 (See Diagram __)
CAUTION: IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ATTEMPT TO CHANGE VOICE PROMPTS UNLESS YOUR ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM. This procedure requires a special box to provide programming of these prompts .
4.7 Caution in INSTALLING THE NEW REPLY PROMPTS
SEE CAUTION ABOUT INSTALLING REPLY PROMPTS. At the MAIN MENU prompt and select REPLY MENU by inputting a [3]. The confirmation of "REPLY" is broadcast. The next key input is [9]. STOP. Do not input just yet.
To playback reply prompts begin at the MAIN MENU, enter [3] to access the REPLY MENU, the [1]. The entire list will be played.
The length of the reply prompts will vary according to which reply is selected. The voice messages are stored in the PROMS in one long continuous message separated by the "*." The SD-8 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. When all reply prompt are recorded and stored, the system returns to the MAIN 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 SD-8 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 SD-8. 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.
To install Time Delays begin at the MAIN MENU. Input [4] to access:

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.
7.2 CHANGE THE 4 DIGIT ACCESS CODE
To change the 4 digit access code begin at the MAIN MENU. At the MAIN MENU select [7] for the MASTER MENU. At this prompt enter a [3] to continue.
At this prompt, enter [*], then enter the "old" 4 digit access code. If the number is incorrect you will be unable to establish a new code access. You must correctly input the 4 digit code to continue past this point. When the correct "old" or current 4 digit code is input the voice message will say "Thank you."
At this prompt input [*] and then enter each of the new digits (a total of four (4) digits are required).
If the "new" 4 digit access code number is correct and you wish to install this new number enter [*] and the number will be automatically stored as the access code. If the new access code you were installing was entered as 1, 2, 3, 4 after you input the [*] the new access code will be permanently installed in the memory of the system, and will remain so until changed again.
Access to the SD-8 is achieved on two levels. The first level of access will allow the user to review or change any of the features of the SD-8. This is at the SD-8 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 SD-8 location, but not remotely.
To set fail-safe times begin at the MAIN MENU. Input [7] to access the FAIL-SAFE MENU.
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 SD-8 because the pager is unable to send back a tone which the SD-8 will accept as an acknowledgment code. The factory has provisions for adjusting the time delays windows associated with various paging networks throughout the USA.
The SD-8 has the ability to selectively call out or bypass the A/C power failure option. When A/C power failure option is selected, the SD-8 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 SD-8, 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." If any other alarms are active these alarms will be broadcast following the "power failure message" and the SD-8 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. 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 A/C 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.
The SD-8 can be programmed on site or remotely via telephone. Programming the SD-8 with a telephone at a location other than the site is called REMOTE ACCESS. The SD-8 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 SD-8.
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 SD-8 begins the dialing sequence. The first number is called and the telephone assigned to the first dialed number begins to "ring." Several possibilities exist:
A. The message will be delivered after the called party picks up the telephone. The called party may listen, do nothing, and then hang up. This would cause the SD-8 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 plus the response digit corresponding to the required response desired of the SD-8. If the response digit is a [3], 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 SD-8 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. A response of 9-9-9 will acknowledge the SD-8 when the unit has called out.
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. Should the entry be incorrect the SD-8 will respond with "Access Denied"
9.2 REMOTE ACCESS OF THE SD-8 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 SD-8 the system will answer and will say "HELLO. THIS IS THE SD-8 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] (for total of three digits) 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 SD-8 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.
9.3 RESPONSES RECOGNIZED BY THE SD-8
CALL OUT BY SD-8: When the SD-8 calls you and all messages have been delivered, the SD-8 will say "Please enter your ID code and response", allow 5 seconds, then enter one of the following options or hang up:
111
This response will cause the message to be repeated to the called party.
222
This response will allow the status of the system to be replayed to the called party; if no alarms are present then the SD-8 will say "There are no active alarms at this time".
333
This response is the first response required to access the MAIN MENU and is followed by entering the 4 digit access code. Works on call in or on SD-8 call out.
999
This response is the "ACKNOWLEDGE". This will place the system in a fail safe time period during which no additional alarm calls will be placed until the fail-safe time has expired.
CALL INTO SD-8: When you call the SD-8 and it answers, it will say "Please enter your ID code and response", wait 5 seconds, then enter one of the following options. The SD-8 will say again "Please enter your ID code and response", then enter the 4 digit access code (2020).
666
This response is the first step in the "REMOTE SET ACKNOWLEDGE". The calling party will next enter the 4 digit access code and the system will automatically "ACKNOWLEDGE THE SD-8". This is equivalent to entering 999 when the SD-8 calls any party. Allows for remote acknowledge at any time.
777
This response followed by the 4 digit access code will automatically "CLEAR THE ACKNOWLEDGE AND RESET THE SYSTEM TO DEFAULT VALUES". This is equivalent to a "REMOTE RESET"
9.4 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 SD-8, 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.
10.0 DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR FACTORY PROGRAMMING YOUR SD-8 SYSTEM
11.0 REMOTE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE SD-8
There may be occasions where the customer may wish to call the SD-8 and remotely activate the acknowledge feature of the SD-8 dialer. This is accomplished by dialing the telephone number assigned to the SD-8, 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 SD-8 called the telephone number and the answering party entered his two digit ID Code and number "9."
12.0 ELECT TO ACTIVATE A/C POWER FAIL AND SET TIME DELAY
13.0 INSTALL DEFAULT VALUES TO QUICK START SYSTEM
To "quick start" the system, a set of preset values for the time delays, call back time and other variables are entered at the sub menu choice [7] and the selection of key [4] then [4] . This will automatically install the following variables.
LIST OF DEFINITION OF TERMS USED IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
ACCESS CODE: a four digit code which is stored in the SD-8 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 SD-8 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 SD-8 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 SD-8 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 SD-8), 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 SD-8 system. Do not under any condition attempt to supply voltage to the alarm contacts which report to the SD-8. The SD-8 will supply the necessary voltage. Supply only the contacts (n/o or n/c) and the wire. Repeat: no voltage is supplied to the SD-8 by the alarm condition being monitored.
ID CODE: a two digit code which is used by individuals to either access the SD-8 or respond to a call from the SD-8.
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 SD-8.
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 SD-8 dials a pager.
LED "LIGHT EMITTING DIODE": this is one of the many small lights on the SD-8 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 SD-8 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 SD-8 is normally (while not in alarm) open and does not provide a signal to the SD-8. When an alarm condition is present the signal is then provided to the SD-8.
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 SD-8 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 SD-8.
RESPONSE CODE: this is a single digit which when input following the customer id code will direct the SD-8 to perform a specific function.
TELEPHONE NUMBER: is an orderly list of digits which when dialed connect the SD-8 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.
Time to wait for response before hang-up. Set at menu 9 ,[*],digit 1, digit 2.
Each number equals 4 second of delay. 40 seconds =10 (10 x 4 =40)
| 01 | = | 04 sec |
| 02 | = | 08 sec |
| 03 | = | 12 sec |
| 09 | = | 36 sec |
SELECTIVE BY-PASS ALARM CHANNELS
To by-pass any or all alarm channels, a by-pass switch is provided for your use. This is an 8-position rocker arm switch located on the right hand outside edge of the main board. The top rocker arm selects channel one, the second rocker arm selects channel 2, etc. The switch has other functions which are used by the factory to set up the system and diagnostics testing.
The master disable switch is an on/off switch located top right corner of the main board. This small switch is labeled "SYSTEM". This switch when in the up position is normal. In the down position the SD-8 is disabled. The SD-8 when disabled will not dial out. The LED7 pack in a normal mode will have LED 4 "ON". Should the system be deactivate LED 4 will be "OFF".
The 12-volt DC battery is located under the two boards and provides 7 amh of supply for the system. This will give 12 hours of standby during a power outage to the SD-8.
Battery switch is a slide switch which is normally on. This allows the battery to provide power on the SD-8 during temporary power outages. The switch will disconnect the battery from the SD-8. Switch location: top board lower left side.
BUS lights are the small 4-packaged LED units, one red and one green. 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. For additional information on light pattern, see Light Menu.
