Muting Outbound Telephone Numbers
The VRC2000 can be prevented from calling outbound telephone numbers
for a period of one hour by entering the following code:
☎ “0 3 0 *”
The VRC2000 will respond:
• PLEASE ENTER SYSTEM ACCESS CODE
Now enter the correct seven-digit system access code. After the correct
system access code is entered, the VRC2000 will respond:
• ALARM REPORTING DISABLED
This disables alarm reporting for one hour. This is useful when
reprogramming the unit, or making changes to connected site equipment.
Sample Scenario
Maintenance needs to be performed on the transmitter. Naturally, the best
time for the transmitter to be down is around 2 a.m. Just shutting down the
transmitter will generate alarms, calling a supervisor at 2 a.m. or calling the
station engineer who is performing the maintenance (and already knows the
transmitter is down). Thus, the station engineer could shut down the
transmitter for a one-hour period to perform the maintenance and, with the
alarms disabled, the system would not call the outbound telephone numbers
to report them. If maintenance is finished prior to the one-hour period, the
alarm reporting can be enabled manually (below).
To enable alarm reporting before the end of the one-hour period, enter
☎ “0 3 0 #”
The VRC2000 will respond:
• ALARM REPORTING ENABLED
To determine what alarms are present, enter the following code:
☎ “0 0 0”
If no alarms are present, the VRC2000 will respond:
• NO ALARMS PENDING
If alarms are present, the VRC2000 will list causes of the alarm conditions,
beginning with the oldest alarm stored in the system. After each alarm is
reported, they can either be cleared or the alarm-reporting routine can be
immediately exited.
ALARM NOTE:
Clearing an alarm does not mean that the condition that caused the alarm has
been corrected.
To exit the alarm reporting routine, enter “*”.
