CENTRAL STATION MONITORING
Ness Navigator control
panels have a digital
dialler which can send
detailed alarm messag-
es to a Central Monitor-
ing Station.
The digital messages can include informa-
tion about the zone or zones which caused
the alarm, tamper alarms, low battery or
AUDIBLE MONITORING
As a lower security alternative to central
station monitoring, the panel can be pro-
grammed to send audible messages to a
fixed or mobile phone.
When programmed for audible monitoring,
the panel calls a pre-programmed number
(or numbers) and sounds an audible alarm
message and a series of beeps over the
phone. These beeps can identify the zone
or zones which caused the alarm as well as
several other alarm types.
THE AUDIBLE MESSAGE
When triggered by an alarm, the panel will
dial the programmed telephone number/s
and output the audible message "ALARM,
ALARM, ALARM" and beeps for 45 seconds
or until it is acknowledged.
THE "FOLLOW ME" TELEPHONE NUM-
BER
If your panel is programmed for Audible
Monitoring, it will make alarm calls to the
Primary and Secondary telephone numbers
programmed by your installer.
If a Follow Me Telephone Number is pro-
grammed, the Primary and Secondary tel-
ephone numbers will be ignored. All alarm
calls will be sent to the Follow Me Telephone
Number.
If your panel is monitored by a Central Sta-
tion, the Follow Me number is ignored.
ACKNOWLEDGING THE ALARM
The person receiving the call can acknowl-
edge the alarm by pressing the
key on
their telephone.
Press the
key during gaps in the alarm
message.
Once you successfully acknowledge the
alarm the panel will hang up and not ring
any other telephone numbers until the next
alarm.
If you do not acknowledge the alarm the
panel will ring you again and then it will ring
the next programmed telephone number, (if
any).
Note: If the alarm is not acknowledged, the
LINE light on the Navigator keypad will dis-
play a Dialler Communications Fault until the
panel is next armed.
mains failure reports, and it can also (by
user number) identify the users who arm
and disarm the system.
Central station monitoring is highly rec-
ommended and is the most effective
method of monitoring your alarm sys-
tem.

monitoring, contact your installer or
