Setting Up For Remote Arming /Disarming
One of the important applications of the AVD-4040 is the option to remotely arm or disarm the dialer, without having to
physically press the M(ode) button on the dialer’s front panel. To configure the wiring on the back of the dialer for this
purpose, refer to the installation drawing page 14. When the AVD-4040 is shipped from the factory, the ARM/DISARM
wire pair is shunted (shorted) by means of a wire nut, which allows the dialer to immediately become active when power
is applied. When opened, the dialer goes into a “sleep” mode, during which alarm conditions on its input channels are ig-
nored; no programmed information (voice or stored numbers) will be lost in this mode. With the short removed, connect
the exposed copper wires to the number 1 (one stripe) relay circuit using two 22-16 AWG wire nuts. By configuring one
of the four RSS circuits (number 1) in this manner, you will be able to control (Arm or Disarm) the monitoring channels
remotely.
Assuming that this is the first time the system is used, follow these steps before operating the dialer:
1. Connect the TEL IN to a (live) RJ11 phone jack.
2. Apply power to the AVD-4040 via the 12V jack on top.
3. Notice that the dialer LCD display remains blank – dialer is asleep.
4. On the 4-position DIP switch set the number of rings to 2.
5. Use any cell phone or a landline phone on a different outgoing line and dial XXXXXXXXXX.
6. After hearing the alternating beep tones, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
7. This should wake up the AVD-4040 as indicated on the LCD display panel.
8. Proceed by programming the dialer (see manual starting on pages 7-11).
9. Complete wiring the dialer input channel(s) to various alarm sensors and contacts as desired.
10. Press the M(ode) button repeatedly until the dialer is in the OPERATE mode. After confirming that all security
loops are working correctly, reset all alarm loops to the non-alarm states and set the dialer back in the OPERATE
mode prior to step 11.
11. Finally, de-activate the system during the open (unsecured) period by XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
12. Remember to always leave the dialer in the OPERATE mode, active or during the sleep period.
Advantages of remotely arming or disarming a security installation
It’s often more convenient and more secure for the shop’s proprietor, office or warehouse manager, using any phone, to
remotely arm or disarm an entire monitored alarm system or part of it - anytime of day or night. The distinct advantage of
having remote access to a centralized AVD-4040 security system, which may be concealed in a locked cabinet, is that at
no time it’s necessary to gain direct access to dialer’s front panel controls to change its operation. Access to the dialer and
XXXXXXXXXXX must be limited to the controlling party for this application to remain secure.
Examples:
1. If a proprietor or manager leaves for home and forgets to turn on the alarm system, a quick call from a cell or
landline phone would solve the problem by dialing
XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX and entering
XXX , and confirming by listening to the high beep tones that the alarm system is enabled, without having to re-
turn to the protected site to manually activate the system.
2. From any location anywhere in the country, to check if the system is armed or off, XXXX XXX XXXX XXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXX.
3. To disable the alarm system, before arriving at the office, store or warehouse, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXX. The same can be done from a remote location to let workers into the protected facility at a pre-
determined time.
4. While working alone after hours inside an office or warehouse, with the alarm system off, it might be a good idea
to partially activate the perimeter protection circuit via cell phone.
