AVR-8 Installation and Operation Manual
INSTALLATION
To acknowledge an input alarm you must enter the “*” key when called. You will
hear a beep and the AVR-8 will hang up. Once an input has been acknowledged a
new alarm will be generated if that input goes back to its normal state and returns
again to its alarm state. No new alarm will be generated if it stays in its alarm state.
If you have designated inputs 7 and 8 to be used to monitor tower lighting condi-
tions by using DIP switches 7 and/or 8, then these inputs will be inactive as far as
normal alarm call outs.
PAGING
Save your pager number in location 21 and the data you want to send in location 22.
Use the “*” key to program a wait period of 3 seconds. For example, if you want to
call a pager with a number of 543-1234, wait 6 seconds after dialing and then send
1234 to identify the source of the page, press the program button, enter 215431234
and press the program button again. Next, press the program button and enter
22**1234 and the program button again. The “*” can be used in either the pager
calling number or the pager data string. There is space for 32 characters for the
pager number, waits and access codes and 16 characters for the pager data. The
AVR-8 will automatically append the number of the input to the beginning of the
data string after any initial “*” wait characters. This allows you to identify on your
pager which input generated the alarm. For example, if input 5 caused an alarm and
your pager data is 22**1234, as in the above example with two “*” wait periods, the
AVR-8 will dial the pager number, wait six seconds then send 51234. A “9” must
be programmed in the Dial List in order to cause a pager to call out.
ALARMS
When an alarm is generated, the AVR-8 will call the first number on the call out list,
play the message and wait for a DTMF “*” as an acknowledgment. If no “*” is
received it will hang up and call the other numbers on the calling list. Once an
alarm has been acknowledged it will beep and remain off hook for relay control or
input/output polling. If another alarm is generated while it is off hook, the AVR-8
will wait until the current session is finished and the call is disconnected and will
then dial out the new alarm. The call will be disconnected after the calling party
hangs up and the “wink” is received from the central office or after the time-out, if oper-
ating on a PBX and the 1-minute time-out option is selected on DIP switch number 6.
CONTROLLING RELAYS
There are four relays that can be turned on and off by calling the AVR-8. Call the
AVR-8, it will answer and play the sign-on message. Enter your access (security)
code. You can now control relays and poll inputs and outputs and listen to any audio
on the balanced audio input. To turn a relay on, enter the relay number, 1-4 followed
by a (*). To turn it off, enter 1-4 and #. The message associated with that relay will
be played, followed by the “ON” message or the “OFF” message. To trigger the out-
put with a momentary pulse (750ms) enter the relay number 1-4 followed by “0”
