PINKERTON Installer Manual 35
R EMOTE ACCESS BY TELEPHONE
The system can be called for the following purposes:
•
By any person to see if the system is ON or OFF.
•
By a master or user code holder, to turn the system ON or OFF.
•
By a computer using “PSA-Connect” software and a PSA-Connect modem.
All user codes apart from the installer code are allowed remote access by ringing into the
Pinkerton system.
When on line to the panel, the following telephone keys may be used:

key
Hangup
key
Clear key (and annunciate system status and “stay on line”
command)
0 – 9 Used to enter a digit of a code
Before entering a legal code you must enter the
key, after entering a code the system will wait
an additional 3 seconds for a fifth key to be pressed. Allowable keys are:
 Turn panel off if it is on.
 Turn panel to away mode if it is off
If no code entry occurs for 15 seconds, the system will hangup. Note that normal dialler operation
will be suspended until the system hangs up.
Note that when first powered up or reset (address 254), the system will answer the phone on the
first ring for the next 60 seconds as long as Required Rings (address 168) is not set to zero.
Operation of second telephone number and fail to communicate
When sending reports to a Central Station the system will make the number of attempts, set in
address 175, to communicate the information. If the number of attempts is set to 6 or more then
the system will be able to use its anti-jam logic to attempt to clear a jammed line. Austel specify
that dial attempts should not exceed 10. The time between calls will vary according to the anti-jam
logic. If the second telephone number is programmed, then after every 2 calls to the primary
number, 2 calls will be tried to the second number. Whenever the second telephone number is
used, the second account number will be used if programmed.
When calling in personal format, the system will swap between the primary and backup numbers
(if programmed) every alternating call that fails. If the temporary number is programmed it will be
used instead of the primary number.
The Fail to Communicate input will be triggered when the dialler has made the programmed
number of unsuccessful attempts set at address 242. If enabled, Fail To Communicate may trigger
the siren and the strobe as long as a Zone alarm has occurred since the panel was last armed.
