ALARM DIALING EQUIPMENT
If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone line,
ensure that the installation of any other
non‐alarm devices does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment,
consult your telephone company or a
qualified installer.
IMPORTANT: When programming
emergency numbers or making test calls
to emergency numbers remember the
following:
Remain on the line and briefly explain to
1
the dispatcher the reason for the call.
Perform such activities in the off‐peak
2
hours, such as early mornings or later
evenings.
Follow the central station operator's
3
instructions for updated dialer
programming, if re‐programming of the
dialer is required.
Alarm dialing equipment must be able to
seize the telephone line and place a call in
an emergency situation. It must be able to
do this even if other equipment
(telephone(s), answering system, computer
modem, etc.) already has the telephone line
in use. To do so, alarm dialing equipment
must be connected to a properly installed
RJ31X that is electrically in series with and
ahead of all other equipment attached to
the same telephone line. Proper installation
is depicted in the figure on this page. If you
have any questions concerning these
instructions, you should consult your
telephone company or a qualified installer
about installing the RJ31X jack and alarm
dialing equipment for you.
Alarm Installation Notes to
Installer
For products equipped with an RJ31X jack,
the line seize feature shall be verified. Be
certain the local telephone and incoming
line connections are not reversed. These
lines are not reversed if the alarm dialer can
communicate with the central station.
New Services Notes to User
The installation and/or monitoring company
shall be notified if new telephone service
(for example, DSL) is installed.
