Elite Command Control provides a powerful, easy to use remote telephone control of your control communicator.
User operation of the Elite Command Control has been designed to be as simple and user friendly as possible with
recorded voice status messages to prompt you through the 11 menu options, providing a status report of the
section of the system which you are currently commanding. Because these status messages are recorded on-site
they can be customised to suit each specific application. For example, rather than the status message saying
"Output #1 off" you can record a message which describes exactly what is being controlled like "Factory heating off"
In the previous section you would have seen how you program access codes for each of the Command Areas and
outputs. These are the codes you will enter over the phone to access the command menus. In order to start the
Command Control feature you must first ring the phone number which the panel is connected to. The panel may be
set up to answer after a specific number of rings of it may be set-up to use a fax defeat" option. Either way, when
you ring the phone number and finally get through to the Elite, the first thing you will hear over the phone is a burst
of modem tone. The panel produces this tone in order to communicate with the upload download option. After 5
seconds this tone will stop and you must enter the access code which is associated with the Command menu
option you wish to access. Remember, the code you enter will determine which menu option you access. If you
miss the pause, the communicator will repeat the modem tone and then again pause for 5 seconds looking for your
access code. This process will be repeated 4 times before hanging up if no valid code is received. When entering
codes or other information in Command Control the "#" key acts as a "Clear" button
When you have entered the required 4 digit access code the communicator will reply with the status message
associated with that menu option. For example, lets say we have a code of 2045 programmed at address P262E,
we would use this code to set and unset Area "A" of the alarm system. If we had a status message recorded at slot
1 which said "Main alarm set" and one at slot 2 which said "Main alarm unset" When we ring through to the panel
and we enter the code 2045, we would hear the message "Main alarm set" or "Main alarm unset" depending on the
actual status of Area "A"
Once you have reached the desired menu and the status message has informed you of the actual state, you can
use the "*" key to toggle the option on & off or set and unset,eg in our example above, code 2045 accesses the
Area "A" menu and lets say the status message we received was "Main alarm unset" If we press the "*" key, Area
"A" will be armed with exit delay etc and we would receive a status message "Main alarm set". If we had accessed
one of the output menus we could turn ancillary devices like lighting etc on and off with the "*" key in the same way.
While you are on-line with the panel you can move between menu options by entering the code of the option you
want to move to. For example in the examples above, we had a code of 2045 programmed to give us access to
Area "A". Lets say we have a code of 4321programmed to access Output #1 which is interfaced to the factory
lighting. While we are on-line in the Area "A" menu which we accessed with the 2045 code, if we enter the 43211
code we will be transported to the Output #1 menu and would hear the status message which had been
programmed for the state of the factory lights (Note; For output control you must enter in the 4 digit code eg 4321
followed by the output number you wish to control, in this case 1).
As in the previous example where we used the "*" key to toggle the alarm between set and unset, we can use the
"*" key to toggle the output on and off. As you toggle the output on and off you would hear the status message
"Factory lights on" and "Factory lights off".
To end a Command Control session simply hang up the phone. The communicator is monitoring the line at all
times and 15 seconds after the last key press it will automatically hang up the line. This 15 second timer is active
during the whole command control process so a period of 15 seconds without a key press will cause the panel to
hang-up. The "#" key is used as a "Clear" button at all stages during command control so if you make a mistake or
enter your code incorrectly, all you have to do is press the # key and start again.
LOCAL COMMAND CONTROL OF OUTPUTS
If a command control code for outputs is programmed (P261E) and the output/s are allowed to be locaaly controlled
(P101-P108, option 6) then entering the 4 digit code at a keypad will blank the display and the zone led's will now
indicate the output status eg if output 1 is on zone 1, led will be on. By now pressing the "1" button, output 1 can be
turned off provided it is allowed to be locally controlled.
