Page 5: Introduction
Basic Operation The ProTalk Plus model B1290 is a device used to monitor alarms at an unattended site. If an alarm occurs, such as building intrusion, power failure, high or low temperature or equipment failure, the B1290 automatically dials out on the telephone line.
Page 6: How To Use This Manual
PAGE 2 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL 2. HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL This manual is organized in such a way that, if you want the B1290 to function with its default settings as a simple telephone dialer, you only need to read the first two chapters of the manual covering the physical installation, basic programming and operation.
Page 7: Getting Started
The B1290 is housed in a metal case with plug-in terminal blocks and jacks for field wiring. Table 1 and Figure 1 show the connection points to the B1290. Figure 3 shows how wiring connections are made to the unit. Table 1 ProTalk Wiring Connections RADIO...

Page 9: Power Requirements
GETTING STARTED PAGE 5 ProTalk Plus Figure 3 ProTalk Plus Wiring Diagram Power Requirements The B1290 will operate from a supply of +11.5 VDC to +28 VDC (Version 1) or +10 VDC to +30VDC (Version 2). The typical current requirement is 100 mA plus 10 mA per relay. Each expander uses an additional 60 mA plus 10 mA per active relay.
Page 10 PAGE 6 GETTING STARTED ProTalk Plus Figure 4 Alarm Input Connection Relays Four form C relay outputs are available, rated for 1.0 A at 30 VDC, or 0.3 A at 120 VAC. Connect external devices to the contacts on the RELAY connector. When connecting to larger loads, connect an interposing relay between the B1290 and the load.
Page 11: Power-Up Sequence
All the expander’s programmed parameters, including the voice messages, are stored in the main ProTalk Plus and are downloaded on power-up. The expander database will be automatically transferred from the ProTalk Plus if an expander address is changed or an expander is replaced.
Page 12 PAGE 8 GETTING STARTED than most people think, and there is no need to rush when entering the code. If you enter the digits too fast, the telephone will only recognize one . You may get an Error message if this happens or else the B1290 will ignore the entry and wait for another .
Page 13 GETTING STARTED PAGE 9 B1290: "Alarm Two is... " Enter the voice message associated with the second alarm point, e.g. intrusion alarm. YOU: B1290: "beep-beep" YOU: "Intrusion Alarm" B1290: "Alarm Two is Intrusion Alarm" YOU: Next B1290: "Alarm Three is... " Repeat the above steps until all the alarm points have been programmed.
Page 14 PAGE 10 GETTING STARTED The B1290 is prompting you for a third telephone number to dial if it cannot get an acknowledgement from the first two. Continue entering telephone numbers up to a maximum of twenty. If you are not using twenty numbers, enter the Quit code ( ) at the prompt.

PAGE 18 PROGRAM CODES Entering Next advances to the alarm message section and the first alarm message will be spoken B1290: "Alarm One is …" YOU: Record Quit Enter/Next If you enter messages for all eight alarms, the B1290 will automatically exit to the Enter Voice Code prompt. Default: empty Record Relay Messages Record the voice messages associated with each relay.
Page 23 PROGRAM CODES PAGE 19 3. If there is a Directory Control Code (method 2): If the alarms are assigned only to Directory A and Directory C, when the Directory Control Code is received, all of the alarms that are assigned to Directory A will switch to use Directory B and all of the Alarms assigned to Directory C will switch to use Directory D.
Page 24 PAGE 20 PROGRAM CODES Change This Line To change the line, a complete sequence of commands and values must be entered. For example, if the setting was to be changed so that the wait time was 5 seconds instead of 3, the entry would be: YOU: Change this line B1290:...

PROGRAM CODES PAGE 21 such as paging terminals. The #, or pound digit, has no special meaning and is dialed as a pound. When calling a paging terminal or someone who cannot acknowledge the call from their phone, it may be useful to wait before starting the next telephone call.
Page 26: Timer Configuration
PAGE 22 PROGRAM CODES "Off Code is ... " YOU: ( x = 1 to 8 DTMF digits, # = clear ) Default: empty Alarm On/Off Output Codes These codes are used to control DTMF-operated devices at the receiving end when an alarm is reported. A typical example would be sending a message to a pager with a digital display.

Page 28: I/O Configuration
Note: A latched alarm should provide a short, predictable pulse to the input of the ProTalk Plus; otherwise, it may have to be acknowledged twice. If the alarm is acknowledged while the input is active, the alarm will not be cleared and new alarms will not activate that input.
Page 29 Setting the time to zero will make the relay an On/Off type of relay. Setting the timer with the # digit makes the relay operate as a ‘special function’ output. This function is only available on the main ProTalk Plus unit and not on the expanders.

Page 36: Programming Examples
PAGE 32 PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES 9. PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES Example 1: Reporting Alarms over Radio and Telephone In this example, assume that your company has a mobile radio system which is monitored by field personnel. Radio operators have DTMF pads on their mics so they can acknowledge an alarm from the B1290. They would like to have the alarm reported over the radio system three times with a 2 minute interval between transmissions, then dialed out over the telephone if it is not acknowledged.

The directory is programmed with the voice message repeated three times on the radio and then once on the phone line.
Page 39 PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES PAGE 35 two directories are programmed. When the Directory Control Code is received, the B1290 is directed to dial from the other directory. The directory may be switched with the Directory Control Code over the telephone, local programming phone, or two-way radio. There are specific rules governing how the alarms can be assigned to directories if the Directory Change Code is used.

Page 41 PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES PAGE 37 In this example, alarms 1 and 2 are connected to intrusion alarm and building high temperature respectively. These are building alarms, and are to dial the building maintenance people at 403-255-9544 and then 403-255-9598. Compressor failure and high tank level are fed to alarms 3 and 4. Since these are equipment problems, operations technicians at 403-255-4437 and then 403-255-9545 are to be alerted.

Page 45 PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES PAGE 41 In this example, the B1290 is used to announce alarms from an unattended location over a building’s public address system. You want the alarms to be announced twice, repeated again one minute later then repeated for the last time one minute after this.
Page 46 When a remote alarm occurs, the DTMF code for that alarm is transmitted to the central site. On receiving this code, the central site activates the relay associated with that alarm. When the alarm clears, the Off code is transmitted from the remote, and the central site’s associated relay is released. ProTalk Plus ProTalk Plus ProTalk Plus...
Page 47 As part of its alarm sequence over radio, the B1290 will send its alarm On output code. This code will be interpreted as an acknowledgment by the remote, and it will stop sending the alarm. The central unit will continue to report over radio and telephone until it is acknowledged. ProTalk Plus ProTalk Plus ProTalk Plus...

Page 50: Troubleshooting
PAGE 46 TROUBLESHOOTING 10. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem: I’ve hooked up the B1290 as per the installation instructions but nothing happens. - Use a voltmeter to check that the power supply is properly connected. If an AC adapter is being used, it should have an output of at least 12 volts DC with a center-negative power connector.
Page 51 TROUBLESHOOTING PAGE 47 field wiring, one option is to “debounce” the alarms using the B1290 alarm delay parameter using Program Code 5. When this value is set, contacts must be closed for a specific period of time before they are recognized as alarms. - Check if any new alarms are announced when the B1290 continues to dial after it has been acknowledged.
Page 52 PAGE 48 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem: How can I prevent unauthorized personnel from calling up the B1290 and altering its programming? - In its default condition, the B1290 does not require any type of password. If you wish to enter one, refer to the Access Code in the DTMF Codes section (Program Code 3).
