Personal Reporting
Personal reporting allows dialler reports to be sent to a person rather than a
central station if an alarm occurs. When an alarm occurs, the PINKERTON
system will automatically seize the telephone line and dial a pre-
programmed phone number. The PINKERTON system will then output an
alternating high/low siren sound to indicate that an alarm has occurred.
Rather than sending the audible siren tone, the system can be programmed
to send beeps down the line to identify the Zone causing the alarm. The
number of beeps equal to the Zone number that was triggered.
Every 10 seconds the tones will pause, allowing any key to be pushed to
acknowledge the call and cause the system to announce the current state of
the system; 1 beep if OFF, 2 beeps if ON. Pressing

may now be
used to hang-up the alarm system immediately or it will hang-up
automatically after 15 seconds. Before hanging up, the PINKERTON
alarm can be turned ON or OFF, see page 17.
If after one minute no key has been pressed, the PINKERTON alarm will
hang up and try again.
During reporting in personal format mode, prior to a key being pushed by
the answering party, the report may be aborted by entering any valid user
code on the PINKERTON keypad. Note that once the called party has
pushed a key, the PINKERTON keypad lights will flash indicating that the
called party is now in control.
A special temporary telephone number can be programmed by the Master
User Code to replace the primary telephone number. When programmed,
this number will replace the primary telephone number until the alarm
system is next turned OFF from away mode, at which time the first digit of
the temporary number is erased (disabling the temporary number) and
operation will revert to the primary telephone number.
