AVR-8 Installation and Operation Manual
DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AVR-8 is a voice remote control system that automatically reports changes
detected on any one of its eight digital inputs to a remote telephone and/or pager.
After speaking a greeting message that may identify the source of the call, the AVR-
8 then speaks a unique message for each input change. Each message comes facto-
ry programmed, but may easily be re-recorded with your own customized messages.
After reporting, the AVR-8 is ready to receive commands through your telephone
keypad. Functions include telling the AVR-8 to report on the input state of any of
the eight digital inputs, commanding the AVR-8 to pulse any one of its four SPDT
relays for 750 ms and/or turning any one of the relays on or off. When a relay com-
mand is given, the AVR-8 speaks the relay 'name' followed by the 'on' or 'off' mes-
sage. For instance, commanding relay 4 on causes the AVR-8 to turn the relay on
and then report "Relay 4 ... is on." As with the greeting and input messages, the relay
'name', 'on' and 'off' messages may be re-recorded if desired.
In addition to initiating a call out when inputs change, the AVR-8 monitors its tele-
phone line to receive a call-in from a remote location. When a call is received, the
AVR-8 speaks a greeting message, and is then ready to receive and execute com-
mands to report on its inputs, or change to its relay outputs.
