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.
Annunciation of a system status report should automatically start. See the
UserÕs 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 (4112), then press key 1 (OFF).
3. A ÓbeepÓ 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 TouchTone
phone .
¥ If the phone system does not include an answering machine, 2 long
tones will be heard in the callerÕs phone, followed by a voice prompt
"HELLO, ENTER PHONE CODE NOW". The caller should enter
the programmed 2-digit phone 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.
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 (4112). 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 (4112), then 1 (OFF).
6. A ÓbeepÓ 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 callerÕs 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.
9. If the Phone Module functioned satisfactorily, unplug the AC transformer
from the AC outlet.
