Paging/Beeps (Audio Tone Format)

Summary: Upon certain system events (listed below), the system can send audio tones to one "pager"
(phone) number per partition. The data from these tones can be displayed on certain pagers (see format
below), or the tones can be listened to on a telephone by the end user (audio tone format). The phone
numbers are initially programmed in Questions 4-6, but can be changed by the end user by using the #58
"follow-me" command. In addition, the following can be programmed:
• The number of attempts to dial the pager number (1-3 times) when reporting an event (Question 18, L3)
• The events that cause a pager report, by partition, consisting of the following (Question 28, L1-L3):
zone alarms, 24-hour zone troubles, openings/closings (system wide enable)
• Enabling/disabling of a particular partition's open/close reporting to the pager number (Question 28, L4
or [#] [8] command)
• Individual user open/close reporting to the pager number can be enabled/disabled using the [#] [7] command
Opening and Closing Reports
For reports of an opening or a closing to be sent, the following must be true:
1. The partition must not have an alarm or trouble condition;
2. The partition must have the open or close enabled (Question 28, L1, L2, L3);
3. The partition must have the open/close enable set by using the [#] [8] command (see below);
4. The user must be enabled to send a page (user enable programming using [#] [7] command).
5. Enable phone number for each partition (Questions 04, 05, 06).
6. The pager attempts option must be set (Question 18, L3).
User Enables and Options:
[#] [7] [code] [user number] [4] - This quick command allows a user with an authority level of 1 or 2 to
enable users in multiple partitions and also enables a user's open/close reporting to the pager number. The
[4] toggles open/close reporting to the pager on and off.
[#] [8] - Allows the end user to turn on/off open and close page reports for that partition. This does not affect
alarm and trouble pages if enabled. Also, the installer must program reports for opens and/or closes to page.
LCD - Displays if open/close pages are on/off. Press [#] to toggle, press [*] to exit.
LED - Toggles if open/close will send a page.
[#] [5] [8] [code optionally] - Lets the end user change the pager number. This mode times out in 10 seconds
without saving the phone number if no key is pressed, or exits without saving if the [*] key is pressed.

LED - Emits acknowledgment sound. Enter the phone number then press [#] to save, or press [*] to exit.
Paging/Beeps Sequence and Data Display: The pager feature will not begin until the dialer is off and
dialer delay is not active. By partition, the system checks if any event needs to be dialed. If a dialing
event occurs, the pager/beeps number for that partition is dialed, followed by a 6-second pause, followed
by the data tones. Dialing is repeated 1,2 or 3 times, as programmed.
The pager format is as follows:
Account
1234
This data is transmitted 2 times with a 5-second pause between rounds.
NOTE: Only one event at a time is reported based on the following priority: Alarms take priority over
troubles, and troubles take priority over open/close.

C

in the string, which gives an additional 2 second dialing pause.
Event
Zone/User
0,1, or 9
