¾ Phone Test
After connecting the phone line to the Signal Extender, conduct a phone test to verify reports are made to the central
monitoring station. The following steps describe the basic steps for conducting a phone test. Refer to the specific
panel installation instructions for complete details.
Note: You must conduct a phone test whenever the Signal Extender battery is replaced.
1) Call the central monitoring station to inform them you are testing the system.
2) Make sure the InGrid system has the correct account number and central station receiver phone number
programmed.
3) Enter the appropriate phone test command on the Keypad, Handset, Console, or Programmer used in the system.
4) Contact the central monitoring station when you are finished testing.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Note: Disconnect the phone line from the Signal Extender before servicing.
No Dial Tone
If there is no dial tone at on-site phones after wiring the RJ-31X jack, use the following to find the cause.
• Wait 2 minutes and try again. The Signal Extender may be busy trying to report to the central station.
• Check the DB-8 cord connections at the module and RJ-31X jack. Replace the cord if necessary.
• Disconnect the DB-8 cord from the RJ-31X jack. If the phone still doesn’t work, the problem is in the RJ-31X
jack wiring. Check the RJ-31X jack wiring and TELCO block wiring. Replace the RJ-31X jack if necessary.
• Perform a phone test after troubleshooting the phone line.
Constant Dial Tone
• If a constant dial tone prevents you from using the phone, there may be one or more polarity sensitive phones
on the premises. Reverse the phone wires connected to the brown and gray wire terminals on the RJ-31X jack.
Trouble Condition
• The Signal Extender battery may be low. Check the battery, replace if necessary and conduct a phone test.
