Using the remote access feature
The remote access feature allows you to achieve a variety of operations via a
remote telephone connection. Using remote access, you could: Record messages
remotely; listen into the property after an alarm message; toggle outputs to turn on
lighting, etc. This facility is accessed by one of the following methods:
Remote access by dialling in
This method requires you to call into the SD3 in order to select the remote access
menu. You will need to enter the remote code (by default: 5678). The unit is de-
signed to work on dedicated phone lines, or shared lines by utilising the One Ring
Answer (answerphone defeat) feature.
Note: The ‘Remote Access’ option must be set to ON. See ‘Programming menu >
System Options > Remote Options > Remote Access’.
To dial in for remote access (One Ring Answer OFF):
1 Dial the SD3 using a touch-tone telephone.
The SD3 will answer your call after the programmed number of rings (see ‘
Pro-
gramming menu > System Options > Remote Options > Rings to Answer’). You
will hear a series of high-pitched beeps.
2 At this point enter the four-digit
remote code on your telephone; if the code is
correct, you will hear an acceptance tone. The remote access menu is now se-
lected, see over for menu options.
To dial in for remote access (One Ring Answer ON)
Note: To enable this feature see ‘Programming menu > System Options > Remote
Options > One Ring Answer’.
1 Dial the SD3 using a touch-tone telephone.
2 Allow the telephone line to ring two or three times then hang up the call.
3 Wait approximately 10 seconds then redial the SD3. The SD3 will now answer your
call after the first ring and you will hear a series of high-pitched beeps.
4 At this point enter the four-digit remote code on your telephone; if the code is
correct, you will hear an acceptance tone. The remote access menu is now se-
lected, see over for menu options.
Remote access via an alarm call
If an alarm has been triggered, when the SD3 makes its alarm calls, it is possible
for a called contact to acknowledge the call and then select the ‘Remote Access’
mode in order to perform tasks.
Note: The ‘Remote Access’ option must be set to ON. See ‘Programming menu >
System Options > Remote Options > Remote Access’’.

key to both accept the call and enter remote access, or
• Press the
8 key, as usual, to merely accept and end the call.
4 You will hear a series of high-pitched beeps. Enter the
remote code on your
telephone, you will hear an acceptance tone. The remote access menu is now
