VM-1 FCC compliance
This equipment can generate and radiate radio frequency energy. If the
equipment is not installed in accordance with this guide, it may cause
interference to radio communications. This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for Class A computing devices pursuant to Subpart B of
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when this equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of this equipment is likely to cause
interference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take
whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.
VM-DACT FCC compliance
Cautions
•To ensure proper operation, this dialer must be installed according to the
enclosed installation instructions. To verify that the dialer is operating properly
and can successfully report an alarm, it must be tested immediately after
installation, and periodically thereafter, according to the enclosed test
instructions.
•In order for the dialer to be able to seize the phone line to report an alarm or
other event when other customer equipment (telephone, answering system,
computer modem, etc.) connected to the same line is in use, the dialer must
be connected to a properly installed RJ-31X jack. The RJ-31X jack must be
connected in series with, and ahead of, all other equipment attached to the
same phone line. Series installation of an RJ-31X jack is depicted in the
wiring diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you
should consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
Testing
When programming emergency numbers or making test calls to emergency
numbers, remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for
the call. Perform programming and testing activities in the off-peak hours, such
as early morning or late evenings.
Compliance
•For equipment approved before July 23, 2001: This dialer complies with
Part 68 of the FCC rules. A label attached to the dialer contains, among other
information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number
(REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to
the telephone company.
VM-1 User Guide v
For equipment approved after July 23, 2001: This dialer complies with
Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the Administrative
Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). A label attached to the dialer
contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information must be provided to the
telephone company.
•The plug and jack used to connect the dialer to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by ACTA. The dialer must be connected to a compliant
RJ-31X or RJ-38X jack using a compliant cord. If a modular telephone cord is
supplied with the dialer, it is designed to meet these requirements. See
installation instructions for details.
•A ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine how many devices
you can connect to a telephone line. If the total REN value for all devices
connected on a telephone line exceeds that allowed by the telephone
company, the devices may not ring on an incoming call. In most (but not all)
areas the total REN value should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the total
REN value allowed on a telephone line, contact the local telephone company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits ## represent the REN
without a decimal point. Example: 03 is an REN of 0.3. For earlier products
the REN is listed separately.
•If the dialer is harming the telephone network, the telephone company will
notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. If advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify
you as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC, if you believe it is necessary.
•The telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the dialer. If this
happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you
to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
•If you are experiencing problems with the dialer, contact the manufacturer for
repair or warranty information. If the dialer is harming the telephone network,
the telephone company may request that you disconnect the dialer until the
problem is resolved.
•The dialer contains no user serviceable parts. In case of defects, return the
dialer for repair.
vi VM-1 User Guide
•You may not connect the dialer to a public coin phone or a party line service
provided by the telephone company.
VM-DACT Industry Canada information
Note: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,
operational, and safety requirements. Industry Canada does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The
equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made
by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user disconnect the
equipment.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe
system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.
Note: The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the
percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by
the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any
combination of devices subject only to the requirements that the sum of the Load
Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.
Fire alarm system limitations
The purpose of an automatic fire alarm system is to provide early detection and
warning of a developing fire. There are a number of uncontrollable factors that
can prevent or severely limit the ability of an automatic fire alarm system to
provide adequate protection. As such, an automatic fire alarm system cannot
guarantee against loss of life or loss of property.
VM-1 User Guide vii
Two main causes of system failures are improper installation and poor
maintenance. The best way to minimize these types of system failures is to have
only trained fire alarm system professionals design, install, test, and maintain
your fire alarm system in accordance with national and local fire codes.
Fire alarm systems will not operate without electrical power. As fires frequently
cause power interruption, we suggest that you discuss ways to safeguard the
electrical system with your local fire protection specialist.
In the event your VM-1 control panel needs servicing, please contact your
system service provider as soon as possible. Refer to “Service provider
information” on page 40 for their name and contact information.
Intended audience
The intent of this document is to provide the VM-1 life safety system owner with
control panel operating instructions. You may assume that your site-specific
software has been installed and that the final overall system testing has been
completed prior to you using this guide. The extent of your use with panel
buttons, indicators, and menus is dependent upon your access privileges.
