Microtel Series 250 - Manual (Page 15)

The following programming steps should be performed for the creation of fault channel
messages:
1. ENTER, MESSAGE, No.(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7)
[indicator or combination of indicators will flash, verifying selection]
2. Depress ENTER for a normal 4 second message, or depress # for an
extended length (8 seconds) message, or depress * for a “Status Only”
assignment message.
[Message In Process Indicator will turn on, indicating recording is in process].
Begin speaking message. It is necessary to speak directly at the
microphone, at a distance of approximately 8 inches. This will minimize
background noise which would be picked up by the microphone as part of the
message. It is also necessary to turn off loud equipment in the vicinity of the
system while recording messages, to maximize clarity.
3. After the expiration of the message time limit, Message In Process Indicator
will go out, and the message just programmed will be played back for
verification.
To read or verify the message for each channel,
1. READ, MESSAGE, No.(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7)
[programmed message will be spoken by the system]
Sample messages are located in Section IV. C.
Status Only Channel Programming
Any fault channel may be programmed as a “status only” channel as shown above (i.e.
it will not cause call-outs to begin, but will be reported in any status messages).
D. PROGRAMMING TELEPHONE NUMBERS
The system can be programmed with up to eight telephone numbers, which will be
called sequentially when an abnormal condition is detected by the system on any fault
channel not programmed as a “status only” channel. The following programming
procedure should be performed to enter telephone numbers into the system. Note that
there must be at least one telephone number programmed into the system for it to
operate at all. All eight telephone number data locations need not be programmed.
