100 Solution Ultima 844/862/880 Installation Manual
Remote Arming Via The Telephone
This feature allows you to arm your system from any remote location via the telephone line. For
obvious security reasons, the system cannot be disarmed using this method. To make use of this
feature, you will require a touch tone telephone or the Phone Controller (CC911).
How To Remotely Arm Your System Via The Telephone
1. Call the telephone number that your control panel has been connected to.
2. When the control panel answers the incoming call, a short jingle will be heard. Hold the phone
controller to the mouthpiece of the telephone and press the button on the side of the unit for 3
seconds. You can alternatively press the
* button on the touch tone telephone for 3 seconds
to arm the system.
If you hear a number of strange sounding tones (modem tones) when the control panel answers
the incoming call, this means that the system has been programmed for remote programming
functions. Simply wait for a pause in the tones and follow step 2 to remotely arm the system.
3. After releasing the button on the phone controller or the *button on the touch tone telephone,
two beeps will be heard to indicate that the system has armed in AWAY Mode.
4. Hang up the telephone and the system will remain armed.
If the control panel does not answer the call, this means that the system may already be armed, remote
functions have not been enabled or the ring count has been set to zero. Refer to Option 2 in
"LOCATION 177" on page 153 to enable remote arming via the telephone and “LOCATION 175” on
page 148 to set the number of rings before the control panel will answer.
Where both remote arming and Upload/Download via the Installer’s remote computer have been
selected, the control panel will answer the call expecting the remote computer. This is easily
noticed, as the modem negotiating tones will be heard rather than the remote arming jingle.
If you attempt to arm a Solution Ultima 880 control panel that has been partitioned, both areas
will arm in AWAY Mode. Arming individual areas is not available using this method.
