UNIT
An Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) module, such as the Eagle 1241, is an add-
on accessory that permits voice dialog between an operator at a central station
and a person at the alarm installation, for the purpose of alarm verification.
For UL installations, the AAV option cannot be used.
Alarm reports must be programmed for the primary phone number to enable
this feature.
AAV should not be used when Paging or Alarm Reports are being sent to a
Secondary number. If this is done, the call to the Secondary number by the
communicator after the alarm report will prevent the AAV from taking control
of the telephone line, and the AAV "Listen in" session cannot take place.
After all messages have been sent during a reporting session to the primary
phone number, the control will trigger the AAV if at least one of the messages
was an alarm report. If Contact ID format is selected for the primary phone
number, the control will send a "listen-in to follow" message (event code 606),
which signals the 685 receiver at the central station to hold the phone
connection for 1 minute.
Once the digital message is "kissed off", the control will give up the phone line
to the AAV module, without breaking connection with the central station. At this
time, all sirens and all continuous keypad sounds will be shut off.
You must connect a 4204 or 4229 relay module when using an AAV unit. Do
not use relay output number 1 for any other usage.
The method used to trigger AAV is via the use of a 4204 or 4229 relay module,
as shown in the AAV connection diagrams that follow (one diagram for
connections when an FA4285 Phone Module is used, the other when the
FA4285 is not used).
1. With at least one 2-line Alpha keypad connected, power up the system. If
you had previously connected the AC transformer to the control panel, you
need only plug in the transformer (to 120VAC outlet) to power up the
system.
2. Enter the programming mode by keying the following on the Alpha keypad:
Installer code (4 1 1 1) + 8 + 0.
3. Press 91. OPTION SELECTION. Enter "4, 5, 6, or 7" for AAV monitoring.
See the DATA FIELD DESCRIPTIONS section or the Programming Form)
in the separate Programming Guide for detailed information on the
available selections.
4. Relay programming in field 80: Do not program anything for Relay #1.
5. Exit the programming mode by keying 99.
