Viking 1600A Series Technical Practice page 6

Setting C - Repeat Announcement Option
The 1600A can be programmed to play the announcement from 1-9 times (enter digits 1-9), or to continuously
repeat the announcement every 8 seconds (enter digit 0) until a Touch Tone ✱ is detected from the distant party.
The I.D. number (if programmed) will be sent and the call connected LED will turn on automatically after the
announcement has stopped repeating. Note: The factory default for the 1600A series phone is to repeat until a ✱
is detected (digit 0).
H. Recording the Announcement
1. Call into the 1600A series phone with a Touch Tone phone and access programming.
2. Enter ✱4, wait for the tone and then begin recording. Ten seconds of record time is available.
3. Enter any Touch Tone to stop the recording. Playback is automatic.
4. Enter ✱5 to review the announcement again.
5. If you choose to not use a voice announcement, enter ✱3 to clear the recording.
Example: "Elevator number 1215, located in the Trade Center Building, needs assistance. Press the asterisk (✱) key
on your telephone to start and stop this announcement..."
I. Automating the Call Connected LED
There are two methods to turn on the Call Connected LED. The LED will turn on after a Touch Tone ✱ is detected from
the distant party or after the voice announcer is finished playing a programmed number of times. If you want the Call
Connected LED to light automatically when the call has been answered, but you don't want a voice announcement to
be played, follow these programming steps:
1. Make a short (1 second) recording of silence (see Programming section H).
2. Enter 001000#17 while programming (see Programming section G).
J. DIP Switch Programming/Microphone Adjustment
A POT is provided to increase or decrease microphone sensitivity. In certain noisy locations the microphone sensitiv-
ity may need to be decreased as shown below. Caution: Setting the microphone gain too high may cause distorted
audio, prevent the distant party from breaking over and inhibit second number redialing.

K. Central Station Programming
The standard 1600A emergency phone is factory programmed to communicate using the "Ademco Contact I.D.",
"Ademco High Speed", "DTMF 4+1 Express", or the "DTMF 4+2 Express" formats. All formats use the programming
memory location #20 to store the account code and alarm details.
1. Central Station Programming Features
a. Accessing the Programming Mode
Before programming, you must access the programming mode (see Programming section A).
b. Enabling/Disabling Central Station Mode
The 1600A Series emergency phone can be placed in the "Central Station Mode" by entering a central station
phone number in position #05 while programming. To cancel the "Central Station Mode," clear position #05 by
entering #05 (see Programming section D).
c. Ring Delay
When the 1600A Series emergency phone is in the "Central Station Mode", it is best to have the ring delay set
to a minimum of three. Some receivers send a long tone after answering the line that sounds like a ring back,
and if the 1600A is set to a ring delay of two, the phone will disconnect (see Programming section F).
