- 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.

- 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.

Preliminary 10/4/02
Mounting
After finding an acceptable mounting location (based on testing), mount the DTIM as described.
You must be free of static electricity before handling circuit boards. Touch a bare metal surface or wear
a grounding strap to discharge yourself.
1. With the cover off, place the DTIM at the desired location and mark the mounting holes (see
Figure 3 at left).
2. Make holes in the wall for anchors at the marked locations.
3. Insert wall anchors where necessary, then use two #6 screws to secure the DTIM to the wall.
Wiring a Phone Line to the Module
Connect the DTIM ahead (or in front) of all other phones, answering machines, computers, or any
other devices on the phone line. This allows the DTIM to take over (seize) the phone line, even if
another device on the line is in use.
An RJ-31X (CA-38A) jack should be installed when wiring for full line seizure. This lets the user
quickly and easily disconnect the DTIM from the phone line in case the DTIM disables the phone
line due to a malfunction.
Note
For UL Listed systems, the RJ-31X jack must be mounted within 5 feet of the DTIM.
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
After connecting the phone line to the DTIM, 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 DTIM battery is replaced.
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.
Installing the Battery Ty-wrap and Cover Screw (UL Listed
Installations Only)
After installation, programming, and testing are completed install the Ty-wrap around the battery
and battery holder. Cut off any access.
Secure the cover with the cover screw by installing it through the cover push tab.
