- Programming-Adding the DTIM to Panel Memory
- 1. Remove the DTIM cover and install the antennas (see Figure 1).
- 2. With the system disarmed, enter program mode at the Allegro panel by pressing 8 + CODE.
- 3. Press twice and É twice. The Allegro display shows zone 01 - trip.
- 4. Locate the DTIM tamper switch and LED (see Figure 2 at left).
- 5. Press and release the DTIM tamper switch as follows:
- 6. Exit from program mode.
- Testing DTIM Transmitting Range
- 1. Place the DTIM in the desired location.
- 2. Put the Allegro panel into sensor test mode. The panel piezo should sound 7 - 8 beeps. This indicates good reception from the DTIM to the panel.
- 3. If you hear fewer than 7 beeps, test the DTIM in different locations. Mounting locations should be limited to areas where the panel responds with 7 - 8 beeps.
- 4. To retest transmitting range after relocating the DTIM, press Ç then É at the Allegro panel and listen for 7 - 8 beeps.
- 5. Exit from test mode after determining acceptable locations.
- Mounting
- Wiring a Phone Line to the Module
- 1. Run a 4-conductor cable from the TELCO block to the RJ-31X (A in Figure 4).
- 2. Connect the 4-conductor cable wires to the RJ-31X (B in Figure 4).
- 3. Disconnect the Green and Red premises phone jack wires from the TELCO block and splice them to the 4-conductor cable Black and White (or Yellow) wires (C in Figure 4). Use weath erproof wire connectors for these splices.
- 4. Connect the 4-conductor cable Green and Red wires to the TELCO block TIP (+) and Red to RING (-) posts (D in Figure 4).
- 5. Insert the 8-conductor phone cord plug into the RJ-31X jack (E in Figure 4).
- 6. Remove the right knockout on the DTIM plastic, feed the 4-conductor phone cord plug through it and connect the plug into the DTIM phone jack (Figure 5 at right).
- Phone Test
- 1. Call the central monitoring station to inform them you are testing the system.
- 2. Make sure the panel has the correct account number and central station receiver phone num ber programmed.
- 3. Enter the appropriate phone test command for the panel used in the system.
- 4. Contact the central monitoring station when you are finished testing.

Summary
The Dialog Telephone Interface Module (DTIM) is a battery operated communication link
between the security system control panel and the central monitoring station. The DTIM
receives radio signals from the panel, then uses the phone line to report security system events to
the central monitoring station.
The DTIM provides added security by separating the telephone interface from the panel. If the
panel is damaged during a break-in or fire, the DTIM can still report to the central monitoring
station.
The DTIM is a supervised device that transmits supervisory signals every hour for the panel to
receive. When the battery is low, the module transmits a low battery signal.
Note
The DTIM does not have a backup power supply. Therefore, the battery must be replaced within 7 days
when a low battery condition occurs to ensure that system events can be reported. If the battery is
allowed to completely drain, the panel identifies the DTIM as being in a supervisory (non-working)
state, which prevents system events from being reported.
Tools and Supplies Needed
• Phillips screwdriver
• Mounting Hardware (included)
• Ty-wrap and Cover Screw for UL Listed installations (included)
Installation This section describes guidelines for installing the DTIM, programming, testing, mounting, and
phone line connections.
Installation Guidelines
• Before permanently mounting to a wall, test the DTIM from the desired location to ensure
communication with the panel. This means you must first add (learn) the DTIM into panel
memory, then perform a sensor test.
• Mount the module within 100 feet of the panel, but not closer than 10 feet to another DTIM
or the panel.
• Always mount the DTIM in the upright vertical position.
• The DTIM can be connected to a standard analog (loop-start) phone line, with or without
digital subscriber line (DSL) service.
Note
The DTIM cannot be used on digital or PBX phone lines, which are designed only for digital type
devices that operate anywhere from 5 volts DC and up. The DTIM uses an analog modem and does
not have a digital converter, adapter, or interface to operate with such systems.
• When connecting the DTIM to a standard analog phone line, it is recommended that you
install an RJ-31X jack (CA-38A in Canada) ahead of all phones and other devices on the line
for full line seizure. This allows the DTIM to take control of the phone line when an alarm
occurs, even if the phone is in use or off-hook. It also provides customers with a quick dis-
connect in case the DTIM malfunctions, allowing them to use their phone.
• For UL Listed installations, mount the RJ-31X jack within 5 feet of the DTIM.
