Listen-in function
Some alarm panels offer the option for the Central station operator to listen for sound in the premises where the alarm signal originates.
Alarm panels supporting “Listen-in” keep the telephone line open after having sent a signal, to allow sound monitoring. The telephone
line will be closed by the Central station subject to operator action or receiver setup.
Listen-in criteria
The Exprecium receiver is triggered into “Listen-in” mode for incoming events according to panel setup for specific formats.
SIA and Contact ID formats have specific codes for Listen-in. See Panel setup.
DTMF formats use the AEx signal where x can be 0 to F at the Installer’s choice.
3x1 and 4x2 formats have no standard codes for Listen-in. Exprecium allows home selection of Listen-in codes at Setup time.
Receiver action upon reception of “Listen-in” trigger
Upon reception of event in the Listen-in category, the receiver maintains the telephone line open for a period of up to 180 seconds or
less then 180 seconds upon reception of any telephone tone from the keypad.
Operator control for “Listen-in”
Operator must be warned by Monitoring software of account “listen-in” capability. Operator has a maximum of 180 seconds from time
of alarm reception to telephone pickup. Failure to pickup telephone in this delays will cause line hang-up by the receiver.
Once the line is seized by Central station local telephone, the hang-up action of the receiver will have no effect.
To close communication with alarm signal site in the first 180 seconds when the Exprecium receiver is in action, operator must press
any key on the telephone keypad before hanging up. The receiver will hang up before 180 seconds only upon reception of a tone from
telephone keypad.
To close communication with alarm signal site after 180 seconds of event reception, simply hang-up the telephone. This is because the
Exprecium receiver is not in function anymore, its delay having expired.
