4.8. Test calls
The telephone must periodically make a test call in order to ensure it is working properly. This way, it is
guaranteed that it will work properly in case of entrapment. This test call must be made at least once every three
days. The destination number can be programmed (Parameter ID_04: Test phone number).
Test calls can be received either in manual or automatic mode.
MANUAL MODE: Once the telephone has been picked up at the call centre, the procedure will be similar to that of
receiving alarms; that is to say, the test call must be confirmed by pressing key (digit) “4”. If not correctly
confirmed, Fonomac 3 will try calling the same number after 30 minutes.
In this case, there must be a line to receive test calls and another one for real alarms. Otherwise, the call centre
would not be able to differentiate one type of call from another, except for Fonomac 3+ which is able to
distinguish them by means of the voice messages.
AUTOMATIC MODE: It will be run using a PC connected to the test call receiving line. In this case, the line can be
the same as the alarm receiving line, although the use of different lines is recommended. It requires the Alarm
Management Software (FonoPC) and modem (not included in Fonomac 3).
N.B.: If ID_33 “Test after Reset” parameter is activated, a test call will automatically be made every time the
telephone is reset.
