56.1.08 Engineer Test
An engineer test can be sent to the alarm destination once the Account Number and the Telephone Number
1 have been entered, to ensure that the station is receiving transmissions sent from the Telecom module.
On selecting this option a warning message is displayed on the keypad, WARNING!!! ENT = SEND
MESSAGE. Press the ent key to send the engineer test.
The test attempts to transmit once for each selection of the option. If the test is not successfully transmitted,
the communicator does not attempt to resend. An unsuccessful transmission is not counted as a FAIL TO
COMMUNICATE.
NOTE: Activation of an engineer test will send a test signal via all Galaxy communication modules.
56.1.09 No. of Rings
This option determines the number of rings before the Telecom module answers an incoming call; the pro-
grammable range is 1 – 20, the default is 10.
56.1.10 Line Fail
The Telecom module continually monitors the telephone line that it is connected to. This option determines the
line monitoring conditions that result in a LINE FAIL event being reported and recorded in the log. The three
line monitoring capabilities are:
1 = Line Volts (default Enabled): A line fail occurs if the voltage on the telephone line falls below
three volts, or the line is cut.
2 = Dial Tone (default Disabled): A line fail occurs if the Telecom module cannot detect a dial tone
on the telephone line, when a dial attempt is made. In this case the Telecom module records the line
fail, but will continue the call attempt even if no dial tone is detected.
3 = Incoming Call (default Disabled): A line fail occurs if the Telecom module attempts to transmit
an alarm while there is an incoming call.
NOTE: Any combination of the above options may be enabled or disabled at any time.
When one of these conditions is detected, a LINE FAIL message is sent to the Galaxy and is stored in the
event log, with the exception of line volts which is monitored for a further period determined by the value
programmed in parameter 51.68. If sufficient line voltage is restored within this period, no event will be stored.
If an attempt is made to set the system or part of the system within this period, the message ALERT - LINE
FAIL 1 ent = CONTINUE SET will be displayed. If ent is pressed the set will continue; if esc is pressed a
line fail will immediately be logged. If the system is unset, the COMM LINE FAIL message appears on the
keypad display and a local alarm is sounded - the keypad buzzers and on-board horn (if connected) are
activated. If the system is set when a line fail condition occurs, the message COMM LINE FAIL will be
displayed when the system is unset. This will be accompanied by a local alarm.
The local alarm is only activated for the first line condition of each unset period. Subsequent line fails are
displayed as COMM LINE FAIL messages on the keypad for the duration of the condition and are re-
corded in the event log.
If an alarm occurs during a line fail condition, then the programmed bell delay for each of the groups is over-
ridden (refer to option 51.02 = PARAMETERS.Bell Delay).
