volume for the trouble beep can be adjusted using the trimmer next to
the speaker terminals. During an alarm, the speaker volume is at the
maximum and not affected by the trimmer adjustment. (See section on
Parallel Phones below)
Parallel Phones
There should be no telephones or faxes connected in parallel to the
incoming line to the panel, otherwise when the parallel line is used,
Comfort will detect a Phone Trouble. Also the system may no be able to
seize the line to dial out in the event of an alarm. There can be parallel
phones connected to the TEL OUT connector. If due to existing wiring
constraints, it is not possible to avoid telephones connected in parallel
to TEL IN, it is possible to set “Ignore Line Cut” setting in Location 40
and Location 7 (See Table 35 and 17).
(( Setting Ignore Line Cut results in a loss of security as the
System is unable to dial out if the parallel phone is off-hook.
This cannot be used for UL systems or monitored systems.,
and is meant for systems concerned mainly with Home
Automation only
Customer has their own Answering Machine
If the user prefers to use their own answering machine, set the number
of rings much higher than their answering machine in each mode
(Home, Away, Night, Holiday). This is done in User program menu 1,1.
However, if this is done, the user cannot have ‘unprovoked’ remote
access to the system because once the external answering machine
takes over, Comfort is not able to take the call.
Customer’s Caller ID Does not work
Comfort has been tested to be compatible with Caller ID adjuncts and
telephone sets. However, it is not possible to test with every Caller ID
models available. The caller ID set may be connected either at the TEL
IN or TEL OUT input. If there are problems,
1 Check that the caller ID is type-approved for the country of use
2 We have found that actual telephone cable should be used to connect
the caller ID set to the telephone line. Cables used for security wiring
may not be suitable.
Special Telecom Services (e.g. Call Forwarding and Voice Mail)
Call Forwarding and Answering services on the subscribers line may
give a broken dial tone when in operation. Comfort waits for up to 9
seconds for a continuous dial tone before dialling out. If the broken dial
tone does not restore to a continuous tone after a few seconds, disable
the detection of Dial Tone in Location 39 (See Table 35) by subtracting
128 from the value at that location. Push the reset button on the
Comfort panel. Comfort will dial after 5 seconds in the absence of dial
tone.
