10.2.2: Report Cycles

The system’s attempts to report events are organized in cycles. A report cycle is a set of

call attempts. If the system does not succeed in sending a report to any of the telephone

numbers, it tries to dial the entire report cycle again until it sends a successful report.

You can determine the number of times the system attempts to dial this sequence by

programming the Report Cycle option.

To program the number of Report Cycles:

1. From the Programming menu, select Communications, Accounts,

Report Cycles [9518].

2. Enter a value between 01 and 03.

3. Press 3 when the desired setting is displayed.

In the example illustrated in Figure 10.1, Account 1 is programmed with 2 call attempts,

Account 2 is programmed with 3 call attempts and the number of report cycles

programmed is 3.

10.3: Vocal Message Dialler

The Vocal Message Dialler is a feature that calls the user’s telephone number when

specific events occur and plays pre-recorded messages. These calls are made after the

system has reported the events to the monitoring station. Additionally, in the event of an

alarm, the user is able to establish a Two-Way Audio connection on receiving the vocal

message in order to check the premises.

The system supports three Vocal Message (VM) accounts. Each account has its own

telephone number, communication interface and Two-Way Audio options.

The types of event that are reported using the Vocal Message Dialler feature are

determined in VM Event Options – see 10.10: Vocal Message Dialler Event Options. If

one of these events occurs, the control panel dials the phone number for VM Account 1.

The availability of the Vocal Message Dialler feature is hardware dependent.
