For easy reference, refer to the chart on page 22 that list the various programming functions and their default settings. 2.1 Programming Methods The 1812 Plus can be programmed from the system keypad (Keypad on the 1812) or from a touch-tone telephone connected to the system.
Programming Documentation Note: There are programming log sheets in the back of this manual to document your specific master code, and keep track of all other programming that is preformed to this 1812 Plus. Keep this with all other system documentation for future reference.
Wait 30 seconds before calling back to program another feature. Off-Site Touch-Tone Telephone Follow these steps when programming the 1812 Plus from an Off-Site Touch-Tone Telephone. IMPORTANT The 1812 must be programmed to answer incoming calls, section 2.3.9.
2.3.1 Phone Mode or Intercom Mode Factory setting is 1 (Phone Mode). The 1812 is normally connected in series with a resident’s incoming phone line, which supplies a constant source of DC voltage. When the 1812 is connected in this manner, program the unit for PHONE mode. If the 1812 is to be connected to an open C.O.
2.3.6 Talk Time Factory setting is 060 (60 Seconds). This programming sequence sets the maximum time allowed for conversation when the 1812 places a call to the resident’s house, or if call forwarding is active, or if any of the dial out numbers are used. Talk time can be set from 10 seconds up to 255 seconds (4 minutes, 15 seconds) and is entered as a three-digit number.
2.3.9 Answer Incoming Call on X Rings Factory setting is 06 (6 Rings). This programming section sets the number of rings that the 1812 will allow to pass through the system before it picks up the call. The number of rings to answer can be set from 1 to 99 rings and must be entered as a two-digit number. For example, if you want the 1812 to answer the call after the sixth ring, enter 0 6 in step 2.
2.3.13 Set Call Forward Microphone Gain and Speaker Volume Factory setting is 71 (7 - Microphone, 1 - Speaker). This adjustment is required only if call forward or directory code dialing is being used. This step will adjust the microphone gain (the remote handset loudness) and the speaker volume (the 1812 loudness) during call forwarding operation.
2.5 Access Codes to Operate Access Control Devices 2.5.1 “Simple” Access Code Programming (24/7 Operation) This programming sequence programs “simple” access codes into the system memory. “Simple” access codes cannot be time zone restricted; they can ONLY be assigned to operate the 2 internal relays on a 24/7 basis using the relay strike time programmed in section 2.3.7.
2.5.4 Delete All Access Codes (Simple and Time Zone Restricted) This programming sequence ONLY deletes ALL existing ”simple” and “time zone restricted” access codes that have been programmed into the system. “temporary” access codes CANNOT be deleted. If you require all “temporary” access codes to be deleted, use the programming sequence in 2.5.7.
2.6.3 Call Forward - ON/OFF or Time Zone Activation This programming sequence turns the call forward feature ON/OFF or setup a time zone activation. You must have a call forward phone number programmed into the 1812 memory (See 2.6.2). 1. Press 3 7 and enter the MASTER CODE.
2.6.5 Automatic Relay Activation Time Zone Programming (Up to 4) Factory setting in step 3 is 0 (Time zones are OFF). This program sequence sets up time zones to automatically activate and deactivate relays. Up to four (4) time zone can be programmed, each of which can be assigned to the desired relay(s).
2.7 Miscellaneous 2.7.1 Restore Factory Settings This step will restore the factory settings for each of the programming parameters. See the “Quick Reference Table” on page 22 for all of the factory settings. The master code will remain intact after the factory settings have been restored. WARNING: Once started, this sequence will program ALL values to factory default.
SECTION 3 - ADJUSTMENTS Speaker Volume The speaker volume potentiometer is labeled SPEAKER VOL on the control board. The speaker volume should be adjusted for adequate sound. Adjusting the speaker volume too loud could cause feedback from the microphone. 1. Open the front of the telephone entry system and locate the speaker volume adjustment. 2.
SECTION 4 - USER INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 Resident Operating Instructions 4.1.1 Granting or Denying a Guest Access To place a call from the 1812 to the resident’s house, the guest simply presses the PUSH TO CALL button located on the faceplate, see previous page.
