channel code. This instructs the VRC2000 to give six consecutive responses
(at eight-second intervals), for the metering or status channel. Each
response will be accurate as of the time of the response. Multiple responses
allow changes in status or metering-channel inputs to be tracked over a short
period of 40 seconds.
To stop a multiple response before it completes all five responses, enter the
same access code again for the particular status or metering channel,
followed by “*”.
Issuing Commands
To issue commands to a command channel (as well as request readings from
the status and/or metering channels), follow these steps:
Step 1 — Call the VRC2000
Dial the VRC2000’s telephone number.
The VRC2000 will answer after the programmed number of rings, and state
the system-identifier phrase as programmed.
Step 2 — Enter Access Code
Enter the five-digit user access code programmed into the VRC2000.
ACCESS CODE NOTE:
The VRC2000 will allow you to enter the code only once. If a mistake is made,
the VRC2000 will automatically hang up.
The VRC2000 will immediately report whether or not any alarms are
pending. If alarms are pending, the unit will say
• ALARMS PENDING
If there are no alarms, it will say
• NO ALARMS PENDING
OPERATOR ACCESS CODE NOTE:
The operator access code will not allow commands to be manually issued.
Step 3 — Request Status Reading
Enter the following code in order to request a reading from a status channel:
☎ “7 x x *”
x x NOTE:
Substitute the appropriate code for the x x that corresponds with the channel
number to be accessed (i.e. 01 is channel 1, 11 is channel 11).
The VRC2000 will respond with the phrase set up for the status channel,
followed by the phrase set up for the actual current state of the status
channel.
Step 4 — Request Meter Reading
Enter the following code in order to request information about a metering
channel:
