Inputs; Contacts; Voice Messages; Text Messages - Texecom Speech Dialler Installation Manual

Inputs: The dialler has four trigger inputs; each input can be assigned a voice
message and/or a text message (Speech & Text only). The trigger inputs are normally
connected to the alarm control panel communicator outputs or bell output. Other
devices such as smoke detectors or temperature sensors can be directly connected
to the trigger inputs. The polarity of the trigger inputs can be programmed as either
+ve or -ve applied.
Contacts: Up to 8 contacts may be stored in the unit; each contact can be assigned a
name, telephone number, message type and acknowledgment type.
!"
The unit must NOT be used to call the Police via the Emergency Services
phone numbers.
Voice Messages: The dialler has a built-in microphone and speaker so that audio
messages can be recorded and replayed directly from the unit. Up to four separate
voice messages can be stored; each message can be up to 32 seconds long.
Message 1 is related to trigger input 1; message 2 is related to trigger input 2 and so
on. Voice messages should therefore be recorded to reflect the type of alarm that is
connected to the trigger input, e.g. if input 1 is connected to the "Fire" output on the
alarm/fire control panel then message 1 should state that there is a fire alarm at the
premises.
Text Messages: The Speech & Text model can also send text messages to mobile
telephones using the SMS text service (Short Message Service). The unit does this by
calling a SMS service centre, which takes the text message from the dialler and
forwards it to the contact's mobile telephone. The unit can store up to four 32-
character "alarm" messages and one common "site details" message. When the unit
sends a text message it appends the "alarm" message to the "site details" message.
The "site details" message would normally hold the name or details of the premises
being protected.
Acknowledgement: On receiving a voice message call from the dialler the contact
person answering the call can acknowledge it at any time by pressing number [8] key
on their telephone. If the voice message is not acknowledged then it is repeated ten
times, after which the dialler abandons the call and dials the next available contact.
Each contact can be configured to either acknowledge the call only or acknowledge
and stop the dialling sequence, i.e., after pressing the [8] key on their telephone the
call is acknowledged and no more contacts are dialled.
Call-Abort: The dialler has several call-abort options, which include restoring the
trigger input or by entering the operator's passcode. When the unit is aborted it
immediately shuts down and returns to its normal standby mode.
