Line Seizure

Line seizure gives the 1400 the ability to “seize” the telephone line

whenitneedstodialout.Forexample,ifanemergencyoccurs

which puts the 1400 in alarm mode, the unit will be able to dial

out even if a telephone has been left off the hook. To the right

of the LINE terminals is another set of terminals labeled EXT.

These terminals can be used to share the line with other devices

(telephone,faxmachine,modem)andtogivethe1400priorityin

the event of an emergency. To make use of this feature you must

havealltheextensiondevicesoriginatefromtheEXTterminals.

Whenever the unit must make an alarm phone call, the unit will

disconnect any current phone calls and seize the line for its own

use. The unit will continue to seize the line until the alarm has

been acknowledged. To ease installation, an optional accessory is

available(FGD-0060LineSeizureKit)whichprovidesanRJ31x

NOTE: The Line Seizure Kit is not required for the

1400 seizure capability to function correctly. The

Kit allows the disconnection of the 1400 system

from the telephone line while ensuring continued

telephone operation—useful if the 1400 is, for

instance, temporarily removed for service.

WIRING SENSORS AND TRANSDUCERS

The 1400 Zones are compatible with NO/NC dry contacts, 2.8K and

10K thermistors, and 4–20mA transducers. To prevent an alarm

from occurring while wiring the sensors, it is recommended that the

zonealarmbedisabled[SENSORON/OFF]+[Zone#1–4].After

wiring all of your sensors you will need to configure the zones
