If the system is operating in onsite mode and an alarm call remains un-answered for a preset time (6
minutes) the call will automatically switch to local offsite mode and report the call to a mobile warden.
If the call still goes un-answered, then remote offsite mode will be selected and the call will go to a 24
hour alarm receiving centre.
It is not possible to select local offsite or remote offsite mode if a telephone line fault exists. If the
system is operating in either of these modes when a telephone line fault develops then the system will
report calls to the onsite manager. Calls will go back to the selected offsite mode as soon as the fault
clears.
A telephone line fault is reported on the DECT handset, the Manager’s Panel and a BT line fault beacon
(if fitted).
