REMOTE CONTROL BY TELEPHONE
You can control your system remotely using
a standard telephone (requires the optional
POTS module available only in the United
States and Canada). Remote control is
performed by calling the system and
responding to spoken questions from the
system. By pressing certain telephone keys,
you can do the following:
•
Arm the system
•
Disarm the system
•
Bypass sensors
•
Query system status
NOTE: At the time your system was
installed, your installer needed to
enable the optional remote
control by telephone feature.
Otherwise you will be unable to
use the remote control by
telephone feature.
CALLING THE SYSTEM
During installation, your installer selects
whether your system supports the remote
telephone option or not. If this feature is
enabled, the system requires you to call
twice within 30 seconds before it answers
your call.
1
Call the telephone number that the
Control Panel is connected to. Wait for
one or two rings, then hang up.
2
Within 10‐45 seconds, call the Control
Panel again. The Control Panel answers
the call.
CONTROLLING THE SYSTEM
REMOTELY
Talk to your dealer to see if your system was
installed with the POTS module. Once you
are connected with the system via the
telephone, you can check on system status
and remotely control the major functions.
TIP: The announcements that the system
plays over the telephone do not sound
out of the Control Panel’s speaker.
1
After the Control Panel answers, it s asks
for your user code. You have 15 seconds
to enter your user code using the
telephone keys. If you don’t enter a
valid user code in 15 seconds, the
system disconnects the call.
If 2 attempts using 2 telephone calls to
enter a user code within a five (5)
minute time frame fail to enter a valid
code, the system disconnects and does
not respond to telephone commands for
30 minutes.
2
After the system has accepted your user
code, it announces the system status,
then the remote command options.
The system waits up to 60 seconds for
each remote command before
automatically disconnecting. If you
know the remote command number,
you can enter it at any time. Use the
following telephone keys to control your
system.:

BYPASSING SENSORS
