Checking the Operation of the FA4285 Phone Module
To Check Phone Module Operation From an On-Premises Phone
1. Pick up phone and enter the programmed 2-digit phone code (entered in
field ✱26, VOICE MODULE ACCESS CODE). Annunciation of a system status
report should automatically start. See the User’s Guide accompanying the
Phone Module for detailed information regarding the nature of the status
report, if necessary.
2. During any pause in the status report, or immediately following it, key the
following via the keypad on the phone:
INSTALLER Code (4111), then press key 1 (OFF).
3. A ”beep” should be heard on the phone and from a wired keypad, and the
words DISARMED...READY TO ARM or DISARMED...NOT READY TO ARM*
should be heard, indicating that the command was entered successfully.
* DISARMED...NOT READY TO ARM would indicate an open zone.
4. Hang up the phone.
To Check Phone Module Operation From an Off-Premises Phone:
1. Have someone dial the premises phone number, using a Touch-tone
phone.
• If the phone system does not include an answering machine, 2 long
tones will be heard in the caller’s phone, followed by a voice prompt
"HELLO, ENTER PHONE CODE NOW". The caller should then enter the
programmed 2-digit phone code (entered in field ✱26, VOICE MODULE
ACCESS CODE)
.
• If the premises phone system includes an answering machine, the 2-
digit phone code should be entered during a pause at the beginning of,
or during, the outgoing answering machine message.
Note: If “15” was entered in field
✱
95 to bypass an answering machine,
and an FA4285 Phone Module is included in the installation, off-
premises phone operation will be affected. Read the “Important Note” in
the programming information for field
✱
95 on the previous page.
2. When the 2-digit phone code is entered, the caller will hear a voice prompt
asking for entry of the 4-digit system code ("ENTER SYSTEM CODE NOW").
3. The caller should then enter the INSTALLER code (4111). As a safety
feature, there is a 3-try limit in which to enter each code (phone code and
system code), after which time the call-in will be aborted. Also, if no keys
are pressed for a period of 20 seconds, the call-in will be aborted.
4. Annunciation of a system status report will start if both codes were entered
correctly.
5 During any pause in the status report, or immediately following it, the caller
should key the following via the keypad on the phone:
INSTALLER Code (4111), then 1 (OFF).
6. A ”beep” should be heard (and from a wired keypad on the premises), and
the words DISARMED...READY TO ARM or DISARMED...NOT READY TO
ARM
* should be heard on the caller’s phone, indicating that the command
was entered successfully.
* DISARMED...NOT READY TO ARM would indicate an open zone.
7. At this point, the caller can hang up the phone.
8. Verify with the caller that there was successful access to the system and
that the appropriate annunciations were heard over the phone.
