SmartDial Features

Exchange Voltage Monitoring

As a protection against a cut line or telephone line fault, the nominal supply voltage from the

telephone exchange is continuously monitored. If a fault condition occurs for more than

approximately 5 seconds, the control panel is informed of the loss of line condition. When the

line is restored, the panel is informed after approximately 5 seconds.

The Windsor control panel will only indicate a line fault if the fault is present continuously for

45 seconds.

If SmartDial has an attached telephone handset, then a loss of line condition exists whenever

the handset is in use. In this case Windsor must be programmed with the Handset option

selected, to disable loss of line reporting back to the panel.

When the system is set (all areas), loss of line will be reported back to the panel regardless of

whether the Handset option is programmed.

SmartDial Features

Line Blocked Detection

In some circumstances the exchange voltage may be present but no proceed indication (dial

tone) exists. For example;

• when the telephone exchange has removed outgoing service

• when an incoming caller has not released the line and effectively blocked outgoing

calls

• when an out of service tone is present

SmartDial can be programmed to periodically test for line blocked (every hour) and report any

problem to the panel. When the line blocked condition clears, SmartDial will report this back to

the panel after approximately 10 seconds. SmartDial checks the line by looking for the dial

tone, dialling the first digit of the first programmed telephone numbers and ensuring that the

dial tone is removed.

If the Handset option is programmed Line blocked will only be reported when the system is

set (all areas).

SmartDial Features

Series Handset Disconnect

Provision has been made to allow for connection of up to three telephone handsets on the

same telephone line as SmartDial. These handsets must be connected in series, with

SmartDial the first apparatus connected to the master telephone socket. Connection of

SmartDial and telephone handsets are made via connector CN1 on the network side of the

PCB and the protective cover moulding must be fitted after connection to the PSTN.

When any handset is attached, the communicator must be programmed so that it is made

aware of such an attachment. This avoids having the loss of line conditions reported when the

handset is in use, causing line fault transmissions to the central station.
