AD2000 SERIES FAQ SHEET
1. Can the dialer be used as a stand-alone unit?
Yes, Purchase USP part# PB12P to provide both main power and battery backup. The PB12P plugs right into the 12vdc input jack on top of the dialer. USP’s warranty dies not
cover reverse polarity or lightning strikes and other acts of God. When using electrical devices, we recommend using surge protection for any voltage feeding into this unit ,i.e.
phone line, power source, etc..
2. Can the dialer be programmed to isolate certain phone numbers to one or more inputs?
Yes. By programming your channel inputs, you can determine which numbers you want to be called out when a channel is activated.
3. Can the dialer call my numeric pager or cellular phone?
Yes. Depending on the pager service, a delay may have to be inserted between the pager number and the pager code followed by a #, before
entering the*. The pager number can be programmed for multiple pauses (each l pause is 2 seconds long) for a longer delay. For cellular phones it
is recommended to add six pauses after the number before pressing *. Numbers can be programmed for multiple “pauses” (each “pause” is 2
seconds long) for a longer delay. See manual for more information on programming numbers.
4. How do I program the dialer for use with a PBX system?
Simply program the T-LINE for PBX ON and enter the digit that will acquire the outside line. This PBX number is universal for all programmed
numbers. Once the dialer is activated, the dialer will issue the PBX number 50ms after connecting to the line, then wait for a dial tone and begin
dialing.
5. How do I incorporate line seizure into my hookup?
You can use either the RJ11 jacks or the IN/OUT terminals inside the dialer. Connect the main telephone line to the LINE IN (RJ11) jack or IN
terminals, then connect the phone to the LINE OUT (RJ11) or OUT terminals.
6. Why does my message sound garbled or muffled?
When you record your OGM, be sure to position yourself no closer than 2 inches but no further than 15 inches away from the dialer. Try to eliminate any background noise.
7. How can I erase phone numbers or change voice messages from the dialer memory?
Program over the existing phone number or do not select that phone number when programming the channels. For voice, record over the existing
message.
8. How do I activate my dialer?
The dialer can be activated by a momentary or continuous input, a N.C. or N.O. dry contact (that either opens or closes in an alarm condition) or a
voltage level/pulse.
9. Why doesn’t my dialer activate when I apply a +12VDC on the input(s)?
The 1K-ohm resistor (provided) needs to be installed across the alarm output terminals of the alarm panel or across the input terminals of the dialer
(such as; 1 and C). Program the specified input for Normally Closed (N.C.) activation. Dialer will activate once the input senses a voltage of 5-
28VDC.
10. Why doesn’t my dialer activate when I remove the applied +12VDC on the input(s)?
The 1K-ohm resistor (provided) needs to be installed across the alarm output terminals of the alarm panel or across the input terminals of the dialer
(such as; 1 and C). Program the specified input for Normally Open (N.O.) activation. Dialer will activate once the input senses that the voltage has
been remove.
11. How can I install my dialer to work with a relay?
Attach the input leads of the dialer to the relay as follows: For Normally Closed activation; Input from dialer (such as; 1) to the Normally Closed
(N.C.) terminal of the relay and common (C) from the dialer to common (C) on the relay. For Normally Open activation; Input from dialer (such as;
1) to the Normally Open (N.O.) terminal of the relay and common (C) from the dialer to common (C) on the relay. The coil of the relay needs to be
connected to the alarm output.
12. Can I stop the dialer from continuing the dialing sequence once a dialing attempt is successful?
Yes. While the OGM is playing, press “1” on the touch tone phone, then press the “#” twice within 2 seconds to initiate the Remote Turn Off (RTO)
feature. Once the alarm input has been restored to the non-alarm state, the input will then be re-armed.
