After installation and programming have been completed, the Model 4100 is fully
operational. This chapter explains the sequence of events that occur during an alarm dialout
to illustrate how the Model 4100 operates. Part One outlines the basic dialout sequence.
Part Two provides a sample programming strategy and details how the 4100 responds in
common monitoring applications.
PART ONE: THE ALARM DIALOUT SEQUENCE
There are 3 stages to a complete alarm event: 1) Alarm Recognition, 2) Dialout,
3) Acknowledgment. Note that not all alarm conditions that are sensed by your sensors will
go through each stage. For example, some may not meet the recognition time. Others may
be acknowledged locally before dialout is started. Refer to Part Two of this chapter for
detailed examples.
Alarm Recognition:
1. A sensor wired to one of the alert inputs (1-3, or AUX TEMP if used as a 4th dry
contact), or one of the built-in sensors (high/low temperature, sound, AC power)
detects an alarm condition.
2. The condition must last long enough to meet the recognition time. (NOTE: AC
power is programmable from 1 to 199 seconds. Inputs 1, 2, and 3 are preprogrammed
to recognize an alarm at 200 milliseconds. The AUX TEMP/Input 4 is
preprogrammed to recognize after 3 seconds.)
3. If the condition lasts the recognition time, the 4100 considers it a valid alarm and
begins the dialout alarm sequence. Go to Dialout.
4. If the condition does not last the recognition time, the 4100 will not consider it a valid
alarm. The 4100 will not dial out.
Dialout:
1. The 4100 waits 30 seconds (30-second call delay time on first call only. Waits 60
seconds between subsequent calls) after the alarm is recognized before dialing
Phone #1. During this time (if local voice mute is OFF), the 4100 will recite an alarm
message locally to indicate which input is in alarm. If on-site personnel acknowledge
the alarm within the first 30 seconds, the unit will not dial out.
2. The 4100 dials Phone #1. Immediately, it will begin reciting its dialout alarm
message. It repeats the message four times. After the fourth recitation, the unit
requests acknowledgment.
NOTE: The 4100 DOES NOT wait until the phone is answered to begin repeating its
alarm message. It is reciting its message when the line is busy, while the phone is still
ringing, or when the call is not answered. If you do not answer the phone until a later
ring, it is possible for you to miss hearing the alarm message. Also, if you have an
