A dedicated telephone line per SMART Telephone is required when using TMA in its typical “polling”
operation. Although it is not recommended, SMART Telephones can share a telephone line with the
understanding that if two or more telephones are put into use simultaneously, the line current could drop
sufficiently to disconnect the telephone call completely. This will depend on the line current, the length
of the cable run, and the condition of the telephone cable. When sharing a telephone line using TMA, the
telephone must be scheduled to “call-in” instead of being polled by TMA.
TMA users can schedule auto-dial maintenance calls to alert maintenance personnel of any unusual sensor
or fault conditions that exist. SMART Telephones can also be programmed to generate an auto-dial
maintenance call when certain sensor events are discovered. Access to the SMART Telephone settings is
restricted through the use of the maintenance access PIN, which should be disclosed only to trained
maintenance personnel.
Existing TMA Application (pre-version 7.4.1 software)
We strongly recommend any existing operating TMA system be upgraded to 7.4.1 (or greater). Although
the -005 series SMART telephones will function with pre-version 7.4.1 TMA software, upgrading to 7.4.1
will allow users to take advantage of any new SMART and TMA features. Version 7.4.1 is backward
compatible with the -003 series SMART telephones so there will be no interruption in the reporting
operation. Refer to the TMA User Guide, no. 42004-440, for specific programming instructions. This
manual can be found on our website at www.gai-tronics.com.
