Alarm Dialing Equipment
In an emergency, this equipment must be able to take control of the telephone line and place a call. It must do so even if other equipment
(telephone, answering system, computer modem) already has the telephone line in use. The DACT must be electrically in series with, and
ahead of, all other equipment attached to the same telephone line. Proper installation is depicted in Figure 1. If you have any questions
concerning these instructions, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer about connecting the alarm dialing equipment for
you.
