Skutch Electronics AS-80 - Manual (Page 9)

From left to right, the parameters are: Dial
Method, Redials for #1, Redials for #2, Rings Until
Answer, Output #1 Control Time, Output #2 Control
Time, Answer Detect Mode and Double
Confirmation.
• Dial Method
This parameter controls the dial method the
AS-80 uses when it makes outbound calls. The
choice is either Pulse for Dial Pulse(Rotary), or
Tone for Touch Tone. The choice is either 1 for
Dial Pulse(Rotary), or 0 for Touch Tone; default
is 0.
• Redials for #1
This is the number of times that the AS-80
will redial alert numbers attempting to confirm a
call for channel 1. If the parameter is set to 0, it
will only call the initial time. This can be set
from 0 to 9; the default is 1.
• Redials for #2
This is the number of times that the AS-80
will redial alert numbers attempting to confirm a
call for channel 2. If the parameter is set to 0, it
will only call the initial time. This can be set
from 0 to 9; the default is 1.
• Rings Until Answer
This parameter controls how many rings
before the AS-80 answers an incoming call. If
the parameter is set to 29, then a the SHARED
LINE feature is enabled. The SHARED LINE
feature causes the AS-80 not to answer
incoming calls unless a special format is
followed. This format is that you call the line,
let it ring two times, hang up, wait 5 seconds
than call the line again. The line will ring one
time than the AS-80 will answer the call. The
SHARED LINE feature allows the AS-80 to
operate on a standard voice line and allow both
AS-80 incoming calls and standard voice calls
to come in without interruption. It is important
to note that the AS-80 will not answer any
incoming call if the ANSWER/NO ANSWER
jumper is set to the NO ANSWER position.
This can be set from 01 to 29; the default is 02.
• Output #1 Control
This parameter controls how long OUTPUT
#1 stays "ON" after it has been triggered.
OUTPUT #1 can be triggered two different
ways. The first way is by triggering the channel
by shorting the input for 200mili-seconds or
longer. Once the input has been triggered, there
is a 10 second buffer before the OUTPUT goes
high. After the 10 second buffer period, the
OUTPUT is triggered and stays high for the
time designated by this parameter. The second
way that the OUTPUT can be triggered is by
switching it "ON" in programming mode. Here
again the OUTPUT will only stay high as
specified by this parameter. If this parameter is
set to 99, then the OUTPUT will stay "ON"
until it is turned "OFF" in program mode, or
until the RESET button on the AS-80 is
depressed, or until power is removed from the
AS-80.
The parameter is entered as tenths of
minutes. This means that an entry of 01 would
equal one tenth of a minute or 6 seconds. An
entry of 20 would represent 2 minutes while an
entry of 35 would represent a time of 3.5
minutes or 3 minutes 30 seconds. This can be
set from 01 to 98; the default is 10.
• Output #2 Control
This parameter controls how long OUTPUT
#2 stays "ON" after it has been triggered.
OUTPUT #2 can be triggered two different
ways. The first way is by triggering the channel
by shorting the input for 200mili-seconds or
longer. Once the input has been triggered, there
is a 10 second buffer before the OUTPUT goes
high. After the 10 second buffer period, the
OUTPUT is triggered and stays high for the
time designated by this parameter. The second
way that the OUTPUT can be triggered is by
switching it "ON" in programming mode. Here
again the OUTPUT will only stay high as
specified by this parameter. If this parameter is
set to 99, then the OUTPUT will stay "ON"
until it is turned "OFF" in program mode, or
until the RESET button on the AS-80 is
depressed, or until power is removed from the
AS-80.
