7 Alarm reception
All tone dialling telephones (units with the keys and #) can work as simple alarm receivers.
The telephone keypad is used to control alarm reception and to acknowledge the alarm un-
less the need for acknowledgment has been deactivated.
The most important key to learn is 4, used to acknowledge the alarm and set up the call.
Alarm call
When answering an incoming alarm call, the ECII™ Flex will play message 2 if that has been
programmed or play a 4-tone (”chirp”) for the receiver. The message or tone is played every 5
seconds until the alarm is acknowledged. If the alarm receiver has not answered within 60
seconds the ECII™ Flex will automatically disconnect and call the next alarm number. The
ECII™ Flex waits 10 seconds before dialling the next alarm number.
Acknowledging an alarm
Acknowledge the alarm with 4, ACKNOWLEDGE. A duplex voice communication call is then
set up; as in a normal telephone call.
A call will be disconnected automatically three minutes after the last key pressing, i.e. three
minutes after the call is acknowledged. With thirty seconds to disconnection, a warning tone
will be heard. To prolong the call, press 4, ACKNOWLEDGE.
If functions “Simplified acknowledge” (320) is used the alarm is acknowledged by pressing any
digit on the telephone keypad. If “Disconnected acknowledge” (321 or 323) are used the alarm
is acknowledged automatically upon connecting the call.
Ending a call
End the alarm call by pressing 0, END. If the alarm is ended with time disconnection and the
call is not acknowledged the ECII™ Flex will make a new alarm call to the next alarm receiver.
Please note that this will only happen when alarms are sent to a standard telephone. When
sending alarms to an automatic alarm centre no further calls will be made after the alarm has
been acknowledged.
If functions “Simplified acknowledge” (320) or “Disconnected acknowledge” (321, 323) are used
