• Strobe output (12v)

Alarm Types

• 32 programmable alarm types including user-definable alarm types
• Predefined alarm types include Intruder, Fire, Gas, Panic, Duress, Arm, Disarm etc. Each alarm type selects a siren pattern, telephone combination, can trigger a user-defined response, which turns on/off appliances, lights etc. Each alarm type can be set to report to any combination of the telephone numbers e.g. Trouble alarms in Home mode can be reported to the alarm company, Intruder and Fire to another Central Monitoring Station, HomeSafe Sign-in Report to a personal pager, Doorbell activation to a mobile

Dialer / Digital Communicator

• 8 programmable telephone numbers. Each alarm type activation can be programmed to dial to any combination of telephone numbers (split reporting)
• Each number can be assigned to 4 Phone Types: Central station, Voice Phone, Personal Pager and Recorded Alarm Message. (Central Station reporting to 2 numbers)
• Pager automatically displays system ID, alarm type and Zone or User number (depending on the alarm type). Can page to any known paging system. Memory buffer of 8 events.
• 2 Central Monitoring station numbers supported with individual account numbers.
• Digital communicator formats supported include all major pulse formats (3x1, 4x1, 3x2, 4x2 at 10 pps, 20 pps and 40 pps), Contact ID, Surgard. Voice Station option allows Central station to activate 2 way voice to verify the alarm (requires AFM)
• DTMF or pulse dialing
• Diallout to voice phone provides announcement of alarm type activated and allows the called party to sign in to interrogate the system or activate 2 way voice option.
• Diallout for Alarm Message phone type caters for Security Guard Stations and Manual Paging Stations. This announces the Alarm Type (e.g. "Intruder Alarm") and delivers a recorded voice message ("Alarm at Unit 06-05, Block 2"), without requiring sign-in.
• Reliable dial out able to detect busy tones, pager tones, and voice answering to confirm the success of each call, unlike other alarm communicators which rely on timed delays and/or are unable to determine if the call has been answered.
