Microtel Series 200 - Manual (Page 21)

To place the system is the Run Mode, depress the RUN key on the system front panel.
The Run indicator will verify successful entry into the Run Mode.
Delayed Entry into the Run Mode
The Run Mode may be entered after a programmable delay. To do so,
1. depress DELAY, RUN
[system delay, ready]
2. enter the desired two digit delay in minutes (01 to 99 minutes)
[the system delay is xx minutes]
(values less than 10 minutes must be entered with a preceding 0, i.e. 01, 07...)
The flashing Run indicator verifies that the system is in the delayed runmode. After
the delay is completed, the system will enter the Run Mode and the Run indicator will
stay on.
C. RECEIVING AN ALARM
When a valid alarm condition is recognized by the system, it will be indicated locally
on the system front panel. If the system is in the Run Mode, it will immediately begin
placing telephone calls to the telephone numbers, which have been programmed by
the user.
Upon the receipt of an alarm call, the answering party will hear the station identification,
followed by the current status messages. This entire message will be repeated the
number of times programmed. If the entire message sequence is completed without an
acknowledgement being returned over the telephone link, the system will terminate the
call, wait 70 seconds for a call back acknowledgement, and then place a call to the next
telephone number in the list. If an acknowledgement is not received from the next call,
after the 70 second wait, a 3rd call will be placed, and so on. The unit will continue to
call repeatedly from the user's programmed list of telephone numbers indefinitely, until it
receives an acknowledgement or the fault condition is removed.
If the system is acknowledged during the call, it will not place any further calls for a time
programmed as the Intercall Delay. If a new fault condition occurs during that period,
the delay will abort and calls will begin again. If the entire delay expires and the fault
conditions still persist, the system will again begin to place telephone calls.
To Acknowledge a Call From the System
Acknowledgement may be accomplished by depressing the * key on the called
telephone between message repeats during the alarm call. The * key must be
depressed for at least 1 second but no longer than five seconds.
The system will
verify that the acknowledgement has been accepted by saying, [acknowledgement
accepted, the intercall delay is xx hours"].
If acknowledgement must be returned from a telephone without tone capability, the
system may be acknowledged by placing an immediate call back to the system,
