38 REFERENCE & INSTALLATION MANUAL
8.7 EVENT CALL DIRECTION
This feature determines where each group of events will be reported. The control panel events are divided into five
groups (see above) where each event group can be programmed to dial one or both Central Station Telephone
Numbers. When a reportable event occurs in the system, the control panel will verify that one of the two telephone
numbers has been enabled. The control panel will begin by dialing the selected telephone number(s). If both
numbers were selected it will begin with Central Station Telephone Number 1. After the Maximum Dialing Attempts
(see page 39) to one central station telephone number have failed, the control panel will then dial the backup
telephone number. If the Alternate Dial Option (see page 39) is enabled, the control panel will dial the programmed
backup telephone number after every failed attempt. If no backup telephone number is programmed, the control
panel will never report to the backup telephone number. Also, refer to Delay Between Dialing Attempts on page 39.
Example: The system is armed and zone 1 has been breached causing an alarm. If option [3] is off and option [4] is
on in section [137], the control panel will attempt to communicate with Central Station Telephone Number 2 in order
to transmit the Zone 1 Alarm Report Code programmed in section [187].
8.8 DIALING METHOD
Section [135]: Dialer Options
Option [4] OFF = Pulse Dialing. (Also, refer to Pulse Ratio)
Option [4] ON = Tone/DTMF Dialing (default)
8.9 PULSE RATIO
Section [135]: Dialer Options
Option [5] OFF = European Pulse Ratio of 1:2
Option [5] ON = U.S.A. Pulse Ratio of 1:1.5 (default)
When using Pulse dialing, you can select one of two Pulse Ratios. Although most European countries use the 1:2
pulse ratio, the 1:1.5 ratio may provide better results in some cases. The same applies for North American countries.
If the 1:1.5 pulse ratio is not providing the desired results, the 1:2 ratio may be used.
8.10 BELL ON COMMUNICATION FAILURE
Section [135]: Dialer Options
Option [6] OFF = Bell On Communication Failure Disabled (default)
Option [6] ON = Bell On Communication Failure Enabled
If the control panel fails to communicate with the central station when the system is armed, it will enable the
BELL
output, setting off any bells or sirens connected to the output.
8.11 DIAL TONE DELAY
Section [136]: Dialer Options
Option [5] OFF = Dialer will continue to dial if no dial tone is present after 4 seconds (default).
