Telephone Numbers
Up to three telephone numbers can be
programmed, each number can be up to 16
digits long. As part of the number, special codes
can be inserted to allow for pulse dialling (P), tone
dialling (T) and a 4 second pause (-) for PABX
systems.
When the DC58M+ dials a telephone number it
will automatically select the correct dialling
format. However, the format can be forced if
required.
Selecting Tone Dialling
Tone dialling is the modern format and is
sometimes referred to as Multiple Frequency (MF)
or Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF). To force
the number to be dialled in this format press [C]
before entering the telephone number. The
telephone number will be prefixed with a "T" to
indicate tone dialling.
Inserting a Pause for PABX's
If the DC58M+ is connected to an internal PABX
telephone exchange system, normally the
exchange requires a pre-fixed digit to be dialled
before obtaining an outside line (normally 9).
Some exchanges also require a pause after the
pre-fixed digit before dialling the telephone
number. To insert a 4 second pause, enter the
PABX digit (normally 9) then press the [B] key the
display will show "9-". Now enter the telephone
number.

When programming telephone numbers it
is very important check that they have
been entered correctly otherwise the
DC58M+ could dial a private number
inadvertently.
Account Numbers
This is a 4 digit number that the alarm receiving
centre uses to identify the alarm site. Up to three
account numbers can be programmed. Account
numbers can only be programmed if the
corresponding telephone number is
programmed i.e., if "Telephone No.2" is blank then
the option to program "Account No.2" is not
available.
Reporting Channels
Each channel can be programmed to report to
any combination of telephone numbers. For
example channel 1 can be programmed to
report to all telephone numbers, whereas channel
3 can be programmed to only report to telephone
number 1. Reporting channels can only be
programmed if the corresponding telephone
number is programmed i.e., if "Telephone No. 2" is
blank then the option to program "REPORTS TO NO.
2" is not available.
Set/Day Channels
Any channel can be programmed as a '"Set/Day"
channel, this type of channel will report a "Close"
signal when the input channel is active and an
"Open" signal when the input channel is restored.
Normally channel 4 is used to report an
"Open/Close" signal, but if required this can be
changed.
Restore Channels
Any channel can be programmed as a "Restore"
channel, this type of channel will report a "Alarm"
signal when the input channel is active and a
"Restore" signal when the input channel is restored.
If a channel is programmed without "Restore", only
the "Alarm" signal will be transmitted.
+
If any channel is programmed as
"Set/Day", its channel will automatically be
programmed as "Restore".
