SELECTING A LOCATION
Select a location for the dialer that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a modular phone line jack
• near the alarm system
• out of an intruder’s sight and hearing
If the selected phone line jack is not a modu-
lar jack, you must update the wiring. You can
convert the wiring yourself, using jacks and
adapters available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone company up-
date the wiring for you. The USOC number of
the jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W
for a wall jack).
CONNECTING TO THE
PHONE LINE
1. Insert the supplied phone cord’s modu-
lar plug into a modular phone jack. Then
plug the other end into the dialer’s jack.
2. Set
MODE
on the side of the dialer for
the type of service you have (tone or
pulse).
CONNECTING TO YOUR
ALARM SYSTEM
You can connect the dialer to either of the
following types of alarm system output termi-
nals:
• siren or alarm
• contact closure
Notes:
• If your alarm system has auxiliary power
outputs, you should also connect your
dialer to them if you want the dialer to
operate during an AC power failure. See
“Connecting To Auxiliary Power” on
Page 7.
• If you connect the dialer to a siren or
alarm output but do not connect it to
your alarm system’s auxiliary battery
power (see “Connecting To Auxiliary
Power” on Page 7), it only receives
power from the alarm system’s siren or
alarm output while the alarm is sound-
ing. In this case, if AC power is discon-
nected, the dialer only operates while
the alarm is sounding.
• Use the wire size recommended by your
alarm system’s manufacturer to make
the connections.
Connecting to Siren or
Alarm Outputs
Follow these steps to connect the dialer to
any alarm system that provides a siren or
alarm output to trigger and power the dialer.
1. Connect one of the
ALARM
terminals on
the side of the dialer to your alarm sys-
tem’s alarm terminal.
2. Connect the dialer’s other
ALARM
termi-
nal to your alarm system’s ground termi-
nal.
If you have a Cat. No. 49-451 alarm sys-
tem, connect the dialer’s
ALARM
termi-
nals to terminals 15 and 16 on that
system.
If you have a Cat. No. 49-454 alarm sys-
tem, connect the dialer’s
ALARM
termi-
nals to terminals 15 and 17 on that
system.
