the Installer) and “Police” alarms. The “Display”
version of the Control Keypads (explained in the
following sections) also has both telephone and
intercom capability built in; it also has a liquid
crystal (text) display to help with programming,
show status, and indicate the type and location of
trouble and alarms. A third type of control is the
Wireless Remote/ Transmitter keypad.
User programming includes a test mode, time/
date setting, on/off control of the chime option,
adding and removing user codes, and bypassing
(shunting) sensors if allowed by the Installer’s
programming. The Display Control Keypad’s
display helps users do as much (or as little)
programming as they wish. Four levels of User
Access Codes control the level of user program-
ming, from simply arming the system to the
complete User Programming package.
More powerful “dealer” programing can com-
pletely configure the system, using either of two
methods. Manual programming can be per-
formed from a Display Control Keypad on the site.

An optional computer program* makes the job

faster and easier and allows the programming to
be done either on site or remotely, via telephone
modem, using a special secure communication
process (patent applied for).
The System 8300 communicator/dialer is compat-
ible with many common receivers and supports
split, alternate, ‘and parallel reporting.

AT&T Security System 8300
Communication Control Unit
(Model 8300)
The Communication Control Unit (CCU) is the
brain of the system, since it keeps track of the
sensors and makes the decisions about what to
do if the status of a sensor changes. It is also the
heart of the system, since its power supply
provides the power for its own operations and its
hardwired sensors; its back-up battery takes over
if the house power is interrupted.
The CCU supervises sensors, notifies the user of
everyday matters like low sensor batteries or
windows left open, and communicates to the
monitoring service as programmed by the In-
staller.
Additional options are available for the CCU, as
required for specific installations:
1.

A Wireless Receiver Module (Model 8325)
provides the CCU with the ability to
communicate with AT&T wireless sensors
(discussed in following pages).
The RCB Expansion Module (Model 8320)
allows wiring more than two keypads to
the CCU.
The Two-Line Switcher Module (Model
8321) allows the CCU communicator to
take advantage of two telephone lines.
The Adjunct Communicator Module
(Model 8322) allows the system to drive an
external 8-channel communicator (eg., a
radio transmitter) as a primary or second-
ary reporting device.
A Ground Start Relay (purchased sepa-
rately) allows the CCU to obtain a dial tone
when used with private business phone
exchanges.
