Phone options - global settings
The following describe how to program the Phone options settings that appear under Global.
Phone test (02000)
Default setting is On.
This setting determines if you can, at any time, test the communication from the panel to the central station or
a pager by entering
8 + CODE + 2 (# + 8 + CODE + 2 from a touch tone phone).
Note: For UL 1610 and 1635 listed installations, this feature must be set to on.
To turn the phone test setting off or on, do the following:
1. With the display showing PHONE TEST OFF/ON (current setting), press 1 (off) or 2 (on).
2. The display flashes the entered setting. Press # and the display shows the new setting.
Automatic phone test (02001)
Default setting is Off.
This setting determines if the panel sends a phone test automatically to the central station or a pager on a
predetermined schedule. (See Phone test freq. and Next phone test under Timers -global settings on page 65).
Note: For UL 1610 and 1635 listed installations, this feature must be set to on.
To turn automatic phone test off or on, do the following:
1. With the display showing AUTO PHONE TEST OFF/ON (current setting), press 1 (off) or 2 (on).
2. The display flashes the entered setting. Press # and the display shows the new setting.
Automatic test reset (02002)
Default setting is On.
This setting determines whether or not the Automatic phone test interval is reset after any successful report to
the central monitoring station. (See Phone test freq. and Next phone test under Timers -global settings on
page 65). When this feature is on, the panel considers any successful report to the central monitoring station to
be a successful phone test. Thus, any panel report resets the Next phone test setting to the Phone test freq.
value. The panel only conducts an Automatic phone test if no other reports have been made during the Phone
test freq. time period.
Note: Phone test freq must be set to 2 or higher for Auto test reset to work.
When this feature is off, an Automatic phone test is always conducted according to the schedule of the Phone
test freq. setting, even if the panel makes other reports to the central monitoring station during that time period.
