External Sensor - Panasonic KX-TDA100D Features Manual

1.17.9 External Sensor

Description
External sensing devices, such as security alarms or smoke detectors, can be connected to the PBX. When
the PBX receives input from a sensor, a call is made to the preset destination, alerting the extension user.
The available destinations of a sensor call are as follows:
[Available Destinations]
Wired Extension (PT/SLT/ISDN Extension/T1-OPX)
PS
Incoming Call Distribution Group
PS Ring Group
Floating Extension no. for SVM
VM Group (DTMF/DPT)
External Pager (TAFAS)
DISA
Analogue/ISDN Remote Maintenance
Idle Line Access no. + Phone no.
Trunk Group Access no. + Trunk Group no. + Phone no.

When the call is answered, if distinctive dial tones are enabled, dial tone 3 is heard, and continues until the
user goes on-hook. If the sensor call is not answered within a specified time, the call will be cancelled. It is
possible to set a different ring tone pattern for calls received from each external sensor, to distinguish between
them.
Conditions
•
Hardware Requirement: An external sensor, OPB card and EIO card
•
Some devices may be unable to communicate correctly with the PBX. Confirm compatibility with the
manufacturer of a device before installing it.
•
After a sensor has been activated, the PBX will ignore any further alerts from the same sensor for the
duration specified by a timer. This timer can be set separately for each sensor.
•
As long as the previous sensor call is still being performed, any further alerts from the same sensor are
ignored.
•
The assigned sensor name and/or number are shown on the display of PTs and PSs when a sensor call
is received.
•
If the destination of a sensor call has set FWD, the sensor call will be redirected to the FWD destination.
However, if the FWD destination is not supported as the destination of a sensor call (e.g., an outside party),
the call will be received at the original destination. (® 1.3.1.2 Call Forwarding (FWD))
