When the system detects the programmed number of rings, it will pick up the phone line and send a series of 3
"beeps" as an answer acknowledgment. The system now has the line, but Two Way is NOT active.
The operator has 15 seconds to press (and release) the
*
*
(asterisk) key to activate the module.
If the
*
*
is not sent in 15 seconds, the system will hang-up.
When the
*
*
is received, the system will generate a two tone "beep-bop" acknowledgment and the red LED will
illuminate.
4.3 MANUAL ACTIVATION (HANDS FREE SPEAKERPHONE).
When a momentary, normally open "answer/hang-up" switch is connected between GND and ANS HGUP, the 1241
can operate as a speaker phone. Pressing the switch will cause the system to come on-line in the "Two Way VOX
mode”. The red LED will illuminate while active. Pressing the switch again will cause it to hang-up.
The timers, "beep" tones and Touch-Tone
digits will be disabled in this mode.
The switch must be pressed to hang-up the system as it will NOT time out automatically.
5.0 CONTROLLING THE MODULE.
After the module has been successfully activated by one of the methods described above (other than the manual
speakerphone mode), the operator can control the operation of the system using a Touch-Tone
phone in the
following manner:
To switch to high gain "listen only", press and release
3
3
. To switch to "Two Way VOX", press and release
2
2
. To
switch to high volume "talk only", press and release
1
1
. The operator can switch back and forth between these
modes as often as one wishes independent of the mode in which the module was in when activated.
The Model 1241 provides five (5) minutes of Two Way. During Two Way, the module will generate a "beep" once
every minute. Upon the fourth and final minute of Two Way the module will generate a two tone "beep bop" warning
the central station that there is only one more minute of Two Way before the module automatically disconnects.
These beeps will be heard at the premise when module is in the "Two Way VOX" mode or in the high volume "talk
only" mode. These beeps will always be heard by the central station. The one minute progress beeps may be
disabled by cutting the resistor at the top edge of the module (see DIAGRAM 2). The activation and the final minute
warning beeps will still operate even if the resistor is removed.
The operator can control the operation of the module using a Touch-Tone
phone per Paragraph 5.0.
CAUTION!: If there is a loud, continuous background noise, such as a radio, the central station operator
should not attempt to increase the gain of the Model 1241, as this may cause the system to lose
the ability to recognize the tones from the central station. If the module “locks-up” into the
high gain “listen-only” mode, press and hold
2
2
for a minimum of 5 seconds. This should
unlock the module. Repeat if necessary.
