For example your home and office could be reporting to your holiday house. Once the call has been received, if it is not acknowledged using an EDM call acknowledger, (Part Number CC911) then the panel will continue sending its transmission for a period of 2 minutes, after which it will hang up and commence dialling the next phone number.
