  • Page 11: Overview

    An alarm condition can be indicated by change at a sensor, by new data from a Remote Channel (RC), or by loss of AC power. When an alarm occurs, the Verbatim accesses the standard phone line to which it is connected, dials the appropriate phone numbers and delivers the user’s own pre-recorded voice message corresponding to those particular alarm conditions that are currently active.

  • Page 12: Manual Description

    Most programming is entered in the form of 3-digit codes as described in this manual. All user programming, including recorded messages, is maintained in permanent non-volatile memory. The Verbatim autodialer incorporates extremely thorough and effective electri- cal surge protection and overall rugged construction, to deliver reliable opera- tion under real-world conditions.

    Verbatim options are configured (i.e., analog, RSC, PLC interface, etc.). If the printer is off line or out of paper, printout data is sent to the Verbatim buffer each time it would otherwise be printed on the printer. Once the amount of data sent to the buffer exceeds the size of the buffer, printout items will continue to be copied to the buffer but will begin to overwrite buffered data.

  • Page 223 DTMF tones over the phone. The Verbatim gives visual indications for the state of each channel or group of channels. If normal, the LED is OFF. When alarmed, the LED is blinking.
  • Page 224 The annunciator state may at any time be completely reset by pressing the ARM/DISARM key twice. This action will also reset the state of each channel. In terms of ANSI/ISA-S18.1, there is one more property that all Verbatim annunciator sequences share: there is no support for the first out sequence designations (F1, F2, F3).
  • Page 225 ANSI designation A-1 (automatic reset with silence pushbutton). The main distinction of these from the M-1 sequence is that the alarm state is automatically reset when the channel enters the RTN state. The Verbatim sequences in this category differ amongst themselves mainly in when this RTN transition is allowed to occur.
  • Page 226 So long as any unacknowledged alarm or RTN condition exists, the Verbatim will be making calls. Alarm conditions have priority. Hence, if an alarm is one call group and an RTN is in another, no calls will be placed to the RTN group until the alarm is acknowledged.
  • Page 227 Annunciator Sequence Option Summary The following paragraphs provide a concise summary of the available annunciator sequence options. The ANSI designator is given, along with the Verbatim configuration code, followed by a short functional description. M-1: Manual Reset with Silence Pushbutton. Code (923 1) Alarm states are registered directly from configured criteria without regard for return to normal conditions.
  • Page 228 R-1-5-6: Ringback with Silence Pushbutton, No Flashing, and No Audible. Code (981 1) - with no phone numbers programmed. Same as R-1-8 except all unacknowledged alarm and RTN states are immediately converted to the acknowledged state. Verbatim Owner's Manual...
  • Page 229 Once acknowledged, further activity on that particular channel will not cause further dialing until the expiration of the Alarm Reset Time. See Section 5.1, “Placing Inquiry Calls to the Verbatim autodialer,” and Section 5.5, “Acknowledging the Alarm Call." Special programming established to cause ALARM CALL GROUPING specific input channels to cause dialing of only selected phone numbers.
  • Page 230 CDL (Central Data Logger) The combination of a modem, a serial interfaced printer and a special Raco-built interface box is called a Central Data Logger (CDL). A Raco autodialer/RTU may be configured to call and log data to the CDL printer. CDL RTUs first call the CDL printer to log alarm and status information then proceed on to calling personnel by voice.
  • Page 231 ID MESSAGE See Station ID Message. A call placed by personnel to the Verbatim autodialer. INQUIRY CALL See Section 5.1, “Placing Inquiry Calls to the Verbatim autodialer.” A lighted legend indicator on the front panel. LINK See Alarm Call Grouping.
  • Page 232 NETWORK ID A voice message identifying a specific network. By default, the message is "Verbatim Net X", where 'X' is a number from 0 to 5. Custom messages, such as "Building 320 LAN" may be recorded. See 'NETWORK' entries below for more details.
  • Page 233 NORMALLY OPEN signal is open in the normal, non-alarm state and closes when an alarm occurs. This requires that this input be programmed as Normally Open on the Verbatim autodialer, which is the default setting for a contact type input.
  • Page 234 When a Raco Verbatim autodialer is configured with the asynchronous communications module it is known as an RTU. The Verbatim RTU does not loose any of the basic features of the Verbatim autodialer. In addition, the Verbatim RTU is capable of receiving polling calls from the Raco SCADA Central Computer.
  • Page 235 Closed Circuit is a violation for that input. If the violation persists for the Alarm Trip Delay time, the unit will go into Unacknowledged Alarm state and begin placing alarm calls.
