PAGE 1 1. INTRODUCTION The ProTalk Cv3, model B1277, is a device used to monitor alarms at an unattended site and report alarm conditions over a cellular network and/or a two-way radio or public address system. It is compatible with many temperature, humidity, and fluid level sensors as well as smoke, fire, intrusion, and other discrete sensors.
PAGE 2 BEFORE YOU BEGIN 2. BEFORE YOU BEGIN The Cv3 is an alarm reporting unit with an embedded CDMA transceiver. Included with this device are the following: • 16 pin terminal block for wiring alarm inputs • 16 pin terminal block for wiring alarm outputs/radio/power •...
POWER REQUIREMENTS PAGE 3 3. POWER REQUIREMENTS The Cv3 requires a DC power supply voltage between +12 to +24 Volts. This supply should be capable of delivering up to 1 Amp of current. Connect your DC power source to the Ground (GND) and Positive (PWR) terminals on the terminal block.
PAGE 4 INSTALLATION 4. INSTALLATION The B1277 Cv3 should be installed in a clean, dry location suitable for electronic equipment. Caution: Power and antenna cables should be connected only after the installation is complete. In order to communicate with neighbouring cellphone towers, you will need to attach an antenna to the Cv3.
INSTALLATION PAGE 5 Wiring Your Inputs Connections The Cv3 has ten inputs for connection to customer alarm signals. Each input can be independently programmed to accept either a digital or analog signal. Refer to Figure 1 for details of the connector pinouts. Figure 1 Alarm Input Connections Contacts and Other Digital Alarm Inputs When programmed for digital operation, the high (or open) state is...

PAGE 6 INSTALLATION advance. Shift select is used with a two position switch that selects one of two shifts. Shift advance is used with a pushbutton switch that advances the shift with each activation. Temperature and Other Analog Alarm Inputs All ten inputs can be programmed for monitoring analog voltage signals.
INSTALLATION PAGE 7 Wiring Your Outputs Refer to Figure 2 for details of output pinouts Figure 2 Output Connections The four output relays can be programmed for either remote control or to indicate internal status of the Cv3. Internal status can be programmed as ‘new alarm present’, ‘any alarm present’, a pulsed output when an acknowledgement is received or as a system alarm.
Simply double click the BE shortcut on your desktop or follow your start menu to All Programs and select Barnett Engineering. This will open up a generic folder containing information for all of our products. You will find the Cv3 Configuration Software in the B1277 Cv3 folder.
PROGRAMMING PAGE 9 Programming With A Handset The B1277 is capable of recording voice messages and limited programming using a TouchTone telephone; either locally through the programming port or remotely by calling in to the unit. Local Programming A standard RJ11 Telephone jack has been provided. This port accepts a standard TouchTone telephone set and is used to record voices or perform basic, programming tasks.
PAGE 10 PROGRAMMING Handset Programming Codes The codes used in the main programming menu are given as a summary below. If no keys are pressed for five seconds, the Cv3 will announce the menu choices.

TESTING THE INSTALLATION PAGE 31 6. TESTING THE INSTALLATION It is advisable to test the strength of the cellular network signal as well as the operation of the directories when installing the Cv3. If the signal strength is low, additional measures may be required to ensure reliable operation.
PAGE 32 OPERATIONS 7. OPERATIONS This chapter gives a detailed description of exactly how the Cv3 will operate after the start-up programming has been completed. Parameters which may be altered are pointed out, with reference to the appropriate Program Code section. Alarm Sequence When the B1277 detects an alarm condition, it dials the first telephone number stored in the directory.
Page 37
OPERATIONS PAGE 33 After one hour, the B1277 will check the alarm inputs again, and if the same alarm is still present, it will begin the reporting cycle as if it were a new alarm. To acknowledge the B1277 locally, configure an input as an Acknowledge Input (Sensor 10) and activate it.

0 to +5 VDC. Carrier Operated Squelch – an output from a radio that indicates the receiver squelch is open. This signal is used by the ProTalk Cv3 to determine when the radio system is busy where it should delay making an announcement.
Page 47
GLOSSARY PAGE 43 Dial Control – a function that, when enabled, delays alarm annunciation until the recipient of the call speaks into the phone. (eg. “Hello”) Digital Input – an input type that, when asserted, generates an alarm condition. This input type may be configured as asserted by grounding the input terminal, opening the input terminal, or providing a voltage to the input terminal that crosses a 2VDC threshold.
Page 48
PAGE 44 GLOSSARY Intrusion Input – an input type that provides a time delay and the ability to enable (arm) and disable (disarm) an alarm using a DTMF code. An alarm condition detected on this input remains until the disarm code is received.
