- 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.

Note
Disconnect the phone line from the DTIM before servicing.
No Dial Tone
If there is no dial tone at on-site phones after wiring the RJ-31X jack, use the following to find the
cause.
• Wait 2 minutes and try again. The DTIM may be busy trying to report to the central station.
• Check the DB-8 cord connections at the module and RJ-31X jack. Replace the cord if neces-
sary.
• Disconnect the DB-8 cord from the RJ-31X jack. If the phone still doesn’t work, the problem
is in the RJ-31X jack wiring. Check the RJ-31X jack wiring and TELCO block wiring.
Replace the RJ-31X jack if necessary.
•
Perform a phone test after troubleshooting the phone line (see your panel installation instructions
for phone test procedures).
Constant Dial Tone
• If a constant dial tone prevents you from using the phone, there may be one or more polarity-
sensitive phones on the premises. Reverse the phone wires connected to the brown and gray wire
terminals on the RJ-31X jack.
No System Response
If the system does not respond in sensor test (as described in the panel installation instructions),
try the following:
• Change the antenna position. Best range is achieved by inserting the antenna into the wall.
• Check that the DTIM battery is installed.
• Check the DTIM for a dead battery. Replace the battery if necessary.
• Use an RF Sniffer (60-401) to verify that the DTIM is transmitting.
• Verify that the DTIM was added (learned) into panel memory correctly.
Trouble Condition
• The tamper switch may have been tripped. Check that the cover is securely in place.
• The DTIM battery may be low. Check the battery, replace if necessary and conduct a phone
test.
Module Supervisory
• If the panel indicates a DTIM supervisory condition, use an RF Sniffer (60-401) to verify that
the DTIM transmits when the tamper switch is pressed. If it does not transmit, check the bat-
tery and replace it if necessary.
• If the sniffer indicates that the DTIM is transmitting, it may be out of panel receiving range.
Use the sensor test to verify that the DTIM is within panel range. If necessary, test the DTIM
from other locations until an acceptable location is found.
