Description

Basic Operation

The ProTalk Plus model B1290 is a device used to monitor alarms at an un attended site. If an alarm occurs, such as building intrusion, power failure, high or low temperature or equipment failure, the B1290 automatically di als out on the telephone line. When the telephone is answered, the B1290 announcesinaclearvoicethename of the site and the alarm condition that hasoccurred. If thereis no answer,the B1290 willcontinue todialthrough a list of telephone numbers until it reaches someone and is able to report its alarm.

Thismanual describes the basic operationofthe ProTalk Plus modelB1290, and its most common applications. The B1290 can, however, be pro grammed to perform many more functions at the discretion of the user. It can announce alarms over radio, telephone, a public address system or a combinationof these. It can also beprogrammedto send coded tonesalong with the voice messages to activate such devices as radio pagers, relays or annunciatorpanels. Itcanbe used as a master station toconcentratealarms from a number of remote sites. It can be commanded to perform remote controlfunctions by receiving codes from a tone telephone. Expanders can be added to increase the capacity of the unit from the basic eight alarm inputs and four relay outputs up to 64 inputs and 32 outputs.

TheB1290 can be completelycustomized for your applicationbecauseall of the operating parameters are programmed by the user, including the voice messages. Like its predecessor, the ProTalk B1270, the B1290 can also be programmed using a standard tone telephone. A stored voice in the B1290 prompts you step-by-step when you are entering new voice messages or codes, and speaks back all the values that you have saved.

With the added feature of PC software, it is also possible to program the B1290froma computer. UsingthePCsoftware all oftheinformationin the B1290 can be read, written and stored to disk.

Theprogramming sections ofthismanual describe howthe B1290 isconfig uredwithaphone set. Instructions for programmingwiththesoftwareap plication are found in the Help section of the program.

Power Requirements

TheB1290 willoperatefrom asupplyof +11.5 VDCto +28 VDC. The typical current requirement is 100 mA plus 10 mA per relay. Each expander uses an additional 60 mA plus 25 mA per relay.

Connect power only to one of the two available inputs: the DC inputs on the Radio terminal block or the plug used with an AC adapter.

Installation

The B1290 should be installed in a clean, dry place suitable for electronic equip ment. The unit will operate from -40

Cto+60oC.

Caution: Power and the telephone line should not be connected until the rest of the installation is complete.

Usea flat blade screwdriver to make connections tothescrew terminals on the sides of the enclosure.

Alarms

In its default condition, the B1290 looks for a normally open (NO) contact which closes to ground to indicate an alarm. The B1290 may also be programmed to accept inputs normally closed (NC) to ground which open on an alarm condition. To change this parameter, refer to the alarm format in I/OConfiguration - Program Code5. When using NC contacts,ensurethat all unused alarm points are either disabled or connected to ground. Refer to Figure 4 for details on how to connect an alarm signal line.

All of the alarm inputs are optically isolated and are operated from the B1290’s internal 12 volt supply.

Connect the alarm inputs to the positions labeled 1 through 8 on the ALARM terminal block.

Caution: DO NOT connect a voltage source to the alarm inputs.

15 Getting Started

Relays

Four form C relay outputs are available, rated for 1.0 A at 30 VDC, or 0.3 A at120 VAC. Connectexternal devices tothe contacts onthe RELAY connec tor. Whenconnecting to larger loads,connectan interposing relay between the B1290 and the load.

Radio

Ifthe alarms are to beannouncedover radio, connect TX to thetransmitau dioof theradio,and RXtothe receiveaudio. RX shouldalwaysbe connectedto squelched audio. Independent transmit level adjustments are available for voice, DTMF and tone signals. Adjust the levels of the transmit audio sig nals using the programming phone or the software setup. For the receive leveladjustment,set the programmed level to match the level of the incom ing signal: for a -10 dBm received signal from the radio the programmed value would be -10 dBm. The range of adjustment for both receive and transmit signals is -20 dBm to 0 dBm.

ThePTT output providesaground closure throughanopen collector tosignal the radio to transmit. Connect this point to the radio’s push-to-talk circuit. The maximum rating is 150 mA, 25V.

The COS input is used to indicate to the B1290 whether the radio channel is busy. Connect this point to the output of the radio’s carrier-operated switchorrelay(COS or COR). Initsdefaultcondition,the B1290 looks for a high signal to indicate the channel is clear and a low signal when the channel is busy. The B1290 may also be programmed to recognize the reverse polarity. To change this parameter, refer to the squelch polarity in System Settings - Program Code 6. This input is internally pulled up to work with open collector radio outputs. In its default program condition, the input is pulled high when clear and driven low when busy.

Local Acknowledge

This input is used to acknowledge an alarm locally at the B1290 without having to call in over the radio or telephone. Connect the ACK input to a normallyopen contactwhichwill begrounded to acknowledgethe alarm.

Telephone

Thetelephoneline is connected to the RJ11 jack labeled PHONE on the side of the B1290. The line should be using the inner (red/green) pair. Audio levels to the telephone line are fixed internally in conformance with FCC regulations.

The telephone should always be the last item connected.

Caution: DO NOT plug the telephone line into the PGM jack, as damagecouldre sult to the B1290.

Page 17

16 Getting Started

Expanders

Expandersareused to increase alarm and relay capacity of the B1290. They come in their own metal cases with all connectors clearly labeled. Ex panders must be located in close proximity to the master B1290 unit for them to communicate properly. The shielded cables provided to connect between units are cut to accommodate the maximum allowable distance. Substituting cables is not recommended.

Make the alarm and relay connections to the expander in the same way as for the B1290. Use theshielded cable provided to connect between the EXP connector on the B1290 and SERIAL IN on the expander. On subsequent expanders, use the cable supplied with the expander to connect between SERIAL OUT on one board and SERIAL IN on the next.

Next set the DIPswitches on the expander to configure its ID number.

Expander Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 Number

1 OFF ON ON 2 ON OFF ON 3 OFF OFF ON 4 ONONOFF 5 OFF ON OFF 6 ON OFF OFF 7 OFF OFF OFF

DIPswitch positions 4 through 7 must remain on. Position 8 is used to control the LEDs. It is normally ON, but if you wish to

conservepower bydisablingthe LEDs,set this switchto theOFFposition. Ifthe expander address is changed,theunit must have powerremovedand

then reapplied in order for the master to recognize its new address. All the expander’s programmed parameters, aside from the voice messages, are stored in the main ProTalk Plus and are downloaded on power-up.

The expander database will be automatically transferred from the ProTalk Plus if an expander address is changed or an expander is replaced.

The expander requires its own +12 VDC and GND connections. Be sure thatall units,masterand expander(s),arealways poweredup and downto gether. Do not connect or disconnect expander cables when the system is powered up.

ThePOWER LEDlightswhen thepoweris on. The expander alsohas an RX LED which lights when it is being polled by the master B1290, and a RE SPONSE LED which indicates when it is responding.

Power-up Sequence

Once the installation is complete, DC power can be connected to the B1290. On start-up, the B1290 will go through the following self-test sequence:

1. LED Test VOICE, TONE and, HOOK LEDs On. PTT LED Off RUN LED Flashing

2. Hardware Test ALARM LEDs 1-8 On Memory test One second dwell time for this test

3. Vocabulary Voice Test ALARM LEDs 1-7 On

5. Database Setup ALARM LEDs 1-5 On

6. End of Test ALARM LEDs 1-8 Off One second dwell time Software version spoken over the speaker

7. Normal Operation RUN LED Steady

The telephone line may then be plugged in as the last connection. Ensure

that the telephone is connected into the PHONE port on the B1290.

Start-up Programming

Introduction

Now you are ready to begin programming. When the B1290 is initially powered up, it will prompt you to input three parameters which must be enteredbeforeit can operate — the voicemessages,alist of telephone num bers and the Acknowledge Code. Once these values have been entered, withits default settings, the unit will function as a straight telephone dialer when an alarm is present. If you require the B1290 to perform more ad vanced functions, continue on to the chapter where the Program Codes are explained in detail.

Beforeyou start programming, there are a few points with which you must be familiar. First, although it is possible to program the B1290 remotely by callingit up overthetelephone line, itis assumed thatwhenyou initially in stallthe unit youwill be usinga local programmingphone. The B1290must be programmed with a phone which sends DTMF tones (Touch Tone); it will not recognize the signals from a phone which sends dial pulses.

The B1290 is designed to be user friendly. When you listen in the earpiece of the programming phone, you will hear spoken messages. These are calledvoice“prompts”, and they tell you what information the B1290 is expecting you to enter. Whenever you program a new value, the B1290 will immediately speak that parameter back to you, so you will know right awaywhetherthecode was entered correctly. You can change aparameter as many times as you like before going on to the next one. If you make a mistake, such as entering a value outside the range for that parameter, the B1290 will immediately let you know by announcing Error. And if you get confused,just hang upthephone and startagain. The B1290 willstartagain at the beginning when you pick up the handset.

Theother feature you need to know is how to enter data. If you were enter inginformationfrom a keyboard or other terminal, you would use the “En ter” key or a “Carriage Return”. A telephone does not have this key, so we substitute the code ÞÞ for “Enter”. The two “stars” (asterisks) must be entered one after the other, with no more than one second between the be ginning of the first digit and the beginning of the second. This is a much longer time than most people think, and there is no need to rush when en tering the code. If you enter the digits too fast, the telephone will only rec ognize one Þ. You may get an Error message if this happens or else the B1290 will ignore the entry and wait for another ÞÞ. The ÞÞ code is used throughout the programming sequence to enter information or proceed to the next step. With practice you will soon determine the correct speed.

Where the # digit is used in a DTMF code or a telephone number it must be entered as two # digits. For example,theDTMF code #2# would be entered as ##2##.

Page 20

19 Getting Started

The B1290 will not work the way you want it to until all three of the re quired parameters have been entered correctly, so if you hang up in the middle of this procedure, the B1290 will take you back to the beginning of the sequence the next time you come off hook.

Throughout the programming sequence, the unit will speak stored param eters using a prompt, followed by the word “is”, then the stored data. For example, to tell you the Acknowledge Code is set to 1234, the B1290 says Acknowledge Code is 1234. Input from the telephone’s keypad is expected following this message. Whenever voice messages are required, the unit will beep twice, prompting the user to speak into the telephone handset.

Site ID and Voice Alarm Messages

Plug any standard tone telephone into the jack labeled “PGM”. Lift the handset to your ear. You will hear the B1290 speak the words Pro

gram voice; site is followed by silence since there is no voice message pro grammed.

B1290: Program voice.

Site is...

The B1290 is prompting you to enter the name of the site. The name you programwill be announced at the start of every message along with the list of alarms.

To record the voice message, enter the record code (2).

YOU:

After you hit the second star, the B1290 will prompt you with a beep-beep tone.

B1290: beep-beep

As soon as you hear the tone, you can begin to record your message. The VOICE LED on the front panel will light while the B1290 is recording. Speakthename of the site, e.g. AjaxCompressorStation. TheB1290detects whenyou stop speakingandautomatically plays backthemessage. Pauses betweenwords may causethe recording toterminate. The VOICE LEDwill light while it is playing back.

B1290: Acknowledge Code is 1234.

TheB1290is prompting you to enter an acknowledge code. This is the code you send to the B1290 when it calls you up to announce an alarm, to ac knowledge that you have received the message. Otherwise the unit will keep on dialing. 1234 is the default code. You may use this code or enter a different one from 1 to 8 digits in length. It should be something easy to re member.

YOU:

B1290: Acknowledge Code is 2468.

YOU:

B1290: Enter Program Code.

The B1290 is prompting you to enter a Program Code if you need to pro gram more advanced functions into the unit. Ifyou require them, proceed to the chapter where Program Codes are explained in detail. Otherwise, hang up the programming phone.

At this point the B1290 will function as an alarm reporting unit over the telephone,dialing through the numbers you have programmed into Directory A until it is answered, then announcing the voice messages you have recorded to report an alarm.

Unless something happens to corrupt the memory of the B1290, these parameters will be stored indefinitely and you will not be prompted to enter them again.

The next time you lift the programming phone off hook, the B1290 will announce its status and prompt you to Enter Control Code. DO NOT enter any codes from the telephone. WAIT five seconds; the B1290 will time out and automatically enter the programming mode. When you hear the prompt Program Access; Enter Program Code, you may begin programming.

DonotremovepowerfromtheB1290whileyou are programming. Always put the telephone handset back on-hook before removing power.

Operation

This chapter gives a detailed description of exactly how the B1290 will op erate after the start-up programming has been completed. Parameters which may be altered are pointed out, with reference to the appropriate Program Code section.

Alarm Sequence

When the B1290 receives an alarm on one of its inputs, it goes off hook and listens for dial tone. If dial tone is not present, the B1290 will hang up and try again. After three unsuccessful attempts to detect dial tone, the B1290 will conclude there is a problem with the line and stop dialing. When this occursthe unit will report TelephoneAccessError over the radio, settheerror relay and flash the RUN and HOOK LEDs.

If dial tone is detected, the B1290 dials the first telephone number stored in Directory A using tone dialing. When the telephone line is answered, the B1290 will announce its Site ID, the list of any alarms present, and prompt the user to Enter Acknowledge Code. It will repeat this message a minimum ofthreetimes, pausing five seconds after each announcement to wait for an acknowledgment. When theAcknowledgeCode is detected,the B1290 will announce Alarms Acknowledged and then prompt “Enter Control Code”.

If the line is busy, if there is no answer, or if the B1290 does not receive the Acknowledge Code after announcing the alarm, it will hang up the telephone line, then go off hook again and dial the next number in the directory. If the B1290 dials all the way through the directory without being acknowledged,itwillwait two minutes (Interval Timer A), then start dialing again from the top of the directory. After three tries (Times A) at two min ute intervals, the B1290 will retry the list every ten minutes (Interval Timer B) thereafter, not stopping until it is acknowledged.

Allof the timers andintervalsmentioned above areadjustable. Inaddition, the B1290 may be programmed to announce the alarm a number of times overradio, orapublic addresssystem, as wellas dialingonthe telephone.

Acknowledging an Alarm

When the B1290 calls you on the telephone, it may take up to five seconds before it starts speaking. After it announces the alarms, it prompts you to EnterAcknowledge Code. Youhave fivesecondsto beginentering the digits.

If the B1290 has been programmed to operate its relays (Program Code 3, DTMF Codes), you may send a relay code over the telephone before ac knowledgingthe alarms. The B1290 will actuatethe relay, speak the associ ated voice message, then prompt you again to Enter Acknowledge Code. After the B1290 has detected the Acknowledge Code, it will speak the

Page 27

26 Operation

phrase Alarms Acknowledged and return to the “Enter Control Code” level. If no activity occurs for 5 seconds it will hang up.

Appending the # digit at the end of the Acknowledge code allows you to acknowledge the alarm for sixty minutes only. After one hour, the B1290 will check the alarm inputs again, and if the same alarm is still present, it will begin the reporting cycle just as if it was a new alarm.

Any series of digits entered immediately after the acknowledge code will beechoed back tothe user. This featureis sometimes usedinsystems appli cations.

To acknowledge the B1290 locally, activate the local acknowledge switch connected to the unit (see the section on “Installation - Local Acknowl edge”). The alarms may be acknowledged at any time. The Alarms Ac knowledged announcement will occur whenever the B1290 is available to speak.

Telephoning the B1290

When you call the B1290 on the telephone, it will answer after four rings (RingsbeforeAnswer) and announce its site ID, any alarmswhichare present,andthe status of any relays which have been assigned codes. After this announcement,the B1290 will prompt you toEnterControlCode. TheB1290 thenwaitstensecondsforyou to enter a code. This could be a codetooperateoneoftherelays, an Acknowledge Code, an Interrogate Code, or an Access Code which would allow you to go into the programming mode. If an Access Code (password) has not been programmed, the B1290 will automatically go into the programming mode after five seconds, prompting you to Enter Program Code. You may then program the B1290 from your telephone, the same as you would from a local programming phone.

The B1290 will hang up whenever it has waited for more than ten seconds without receiving a DTMF code.

Changing Telephone Directories

Telephone directories can be changed remotely without entering the pro gramming mode. The directory can be changed by entering the Directory Control Code over the telephone system, local programming telephone, or two-way radio.

Refer to the Directory section, Program Code 2, for a description of the di rectory format and its uses.

This example uses the local programming phone to change the telephone formatfrom DIRECTORY A to DIRECTORY B and then to DIRECTORY C. A typical installation may use a programming telephone mounted perma nently at the site to make this procedure as simple as possible.

How to Enter the Programming Mode

Tobegin programming, youmust hear thepromptEnter Program Codefrom the B1290. One way to get to this prompt was discussed in the chapter on Getting Started. After you have entered the initial voice messages, tele phone numbers and an Acknowledge Code, the B1290 will prompt you to beginprogramming. A local programming phone may be used at any time toalterparameters. It is also possible to program the B1290 remotely by di aling it up over the telephone line.

If you call up a B1290 over the phone once it has been programmed, it will answer after four rings (default) and announce its site ID, any alarms pres ent, the status of the relays (if they have been programmed) and any error status messages. Then it will prompt you to Enter Control Code. If the unit has been programmed to operate with a password, you must enter the Ac cess Code at this time. The B1290 will reply with Program Access and prompt you to Enter Program Code. If an Access Code has not been programmed, the B1290 will time out after five seconds and automatically enterthe programming mode. You will heartheprompt ProgramAccess;Enter Program Code.

When you connect a local programming phone, the B1290 goes through a similarsequence. It will announce itssiteID, any alarms present, thestatus of any programmed relays and any error status messages. Then it will prompt you to Enter Control Code. It is not necessary to know the Access Code to program from the local phone. Wait five seconds, and the B1290 will automatically prompt you with Program Access; Enter Program Code.

IMPORTANT: Remember that all programming codes must be followed by the “ÞÞ” code to enter them.

The following chapter, Programming Reference, divides the program ming parameters into functional blocks. Refer to that chapter to determine the parameter changes required for a specific function.

Appendix C is a Programming Tree for the B1290. It gives an overview of the parameters which may be programmed and how they are organized. The Program Codes are explained in detail in the next section.

When a relay is operated, the B1290 will speak the voice message followed by the word “On” or “Off” to verify that the action was taken.

In some applications, it is not necessary to have voice confirmation when a relay is operated. To disable this feature, refer to Program Code 6 - Relay Voices.

Program Code 2 ÞÞ: Directories

There are four directories in the B1290. To allow different alarms to per form different actions when they are active, each alarm can be selected to use any one of the directories. Each directory defines a unique sequence of actions. There is also a Directory Control Code that modifies the directory selectionthatthe alarms are programmed for. Whenthiscode is used there arerestrictionsplacedonhowthealarmsareassignedtodirectories. There are three possible ways that the directories can be used.

1. If there is No Directory Control Code:

Alarms can be assigned to any of the four directories and will always use the one that has been assigned.

2. If there is a Directory Control Code (method 1):

Alarms can only be assigned Directory A. When the Directory Con trol Code is received, the directory usage is modified such that the alarms now use the next directory with commands in it. If Directory

Page 32

31 Program Codes

B has commands then it will be used. When the Directory Control Code is received again, directory usage advances to the next directory with commands in it.

If all four directories have commands in them, then the Directory Control Code will simply advance to the next directory each time it is received. If the current setting is Directory D when the code is re ceived, then it will return to Directory A.

If the next directory is unused, it will be skipped.

2. If there is a Directory Control Code (method 2):

If the alarms are assigned only to Directory A and Directory C, when the Directory Control Code is received, all of the alarms that are as signed to Directory A will switch to use Directory B and all of the Alarms assigned to Directory C will switch to use Directory D. When the Directory Control Code is received again, directories A and C will become the active directories.

Alarms cannot to assigned to Directory B or Directory D when this mode of operation is selected.

Thedirectory structure is madeupof a list oflineswith each linecontaining a sequence of instructions. TheB1290 performs the actions defined in each line then waits for a response. Ifthe expected response is not received, the actions in the next line are carried out

Commands are placed into the directory line-by- line with a series of digits representing the required actions.

Commands that can be used in the directory and the digits used to select them are:

#0 Dial + digits #1 Radio #2 Wait + 1-3 digits (seconds) #3 Alert #4 Two Tone Paging + (4 or 5 digits) + Þ+ (4 or 5 digits)

(frequencies in .1 Hz. ie: 12345 would be 1234.5 Hz)

#5 Five Tone Paging + 5 digits (5 digit cap code)

or Five Tone Paging + 1digit + Þ + 5 digits (preamble+ cap code)

#6 Single tone + (4 or 5 digits)

(frequency in .1 Hz. ie: 12345 would be 1234.5 Hz)

#7 DTMF + 1-16 digits

32 Program Codes

#8 Voice #9 Answer

When Program Code 2 is selected the B1290 responds with the prompt:

B1290: Enter Directory

YOU:

1** Directory A 2** Directory B 3** Directory C 4** Directory D 0** Help (speaks a summary of commands) #** Quit

If one of the directories is selected a typical response would be:

B1290: Directory A, Line One is DIAL 2559544 WAIT 3 SEC VOICE

Thisis thecommandsequence inthefirst lineofthe directoryandwould result in the B1290 dialing the number 2559544, waiting for 3 seconds and then speaking the voice messages. At this time the following options are available:

2** Change this line 3** Delete this line 4** Insert a new line before the current line #** Quit ** Next

YOU:

B1290: ‘beep’

To change the line, a complete sequence of commands and values must be entered. For example, if the setting was to be changed so that the wait time was 5 seconds instead of 3, the entry would be:

YOU:

B1290: Directory A, Line One is DIAL 2559544 WAIT 5 SEC VOICE

Which is the same as [DIAL]2559544 [WAIT]5 [VOICE] for this line in the PC programming software.

For an invalid entry, the B1290 will speak the word “Error” at the end.

2** Change this line

Ifapauseisrequiredwhendialing,usetheWaitcommandtoinsertadelay interval followed by a DTMF command with more digits. This feature is most often used when communicating with devices which require special signaling, such as paging terminals. The #, or pound digit, has no special meaning and is dialed as a pound.

When calling a paging terminal or someone who cannot acknowledge the call from their phone, it may be useful to wait before starting the next tele phone call. This allows the called party to get to a phone and call the B1290 to acknowledge it before it calls out again. To do this, put a Wait command withthe required delay on the nextdirectoryline and then a Dial command on the following line.

To send a group call with 2 Tone Paging, set tone A equal to tone B. Do not use the Answer command immediately following a Dial command

in the directories when Call Progress is enabled. This is the equivalent of two Answer commands and may result in unreliable operation.

3 ÞÞ: Relay On/Off Input Codes

The relay codes allow users to perform remote control functions at the un attended site. Callers can operate relays on the B1290 by sending DTMF codes from their telephone or radio keypads. Each relay has one code to turn it on and a separate code to turn it off. When a relay is operated, the B1290 speaks a voice message associated with that relay followed by the word “On” or “Off” (see Program Code 1 - Record Relay Voices).

4 ÞÞ: Alarm On/Off Output Codes

These codes are used to control DTMF-operated devices at the receiving endwhen an alarmisreported. A typical examplewould be sending ames sage to a pager with a digital display. The DTMF On string is sent during the alarm announcement, preceding the voice announcement for that alarm. TheDTMFOff string is sent onlyoverthe radio port when thealarm returnsto normal, and is not accompanied byavoice message. Thisfeature might be used to turn the lamps of an annunciator panel on or off depend ing on the condition of the alarm. In simple system applications, the alarm On/Off codes of one B1290 might be programmed to be the same as the relay On/Off codes or remote alarm input codes of another B1290.

YOU:

Default: empty

5 ÞÞ: Remote Alarm Input Codes

If a remote alarm input code has been programmed, when it is received by the B1290 it will be interpreted exactly the same as an alarm on that input. The most common application is to obtain an alarm report from a remote site via radio. The Alarm LED will show the status for remote alarms.

Do not connect an alarm signal line to an input that has been programmed with a remote alarm input code.

6 ÞÞ: Interrogate Code

TheInterrogate Code isused to findthecurrent status ofthe B1290. When it receives the code, the unit reports its site ID, any alarms which are present, the status of any relays which have been programmed to operate and any error status messages. Only the voice messages are repeated; no signaling issent. As the B1290 always announcesitsstatus when it istelephoned,this code is used primarily for querying over radio.

Program Code 4 ÞÞ: Timer Configuration

When you enter Program Code 4, the B1290 will automatically cycle through the following parameters. After the last one, “Times A”, it will go back to the Enter Program Code prompt.

Rings Before Answering

When the B1290 is dialed, this parameter sets the number of times it will let the telephone ring before it answers.

B1290: Answer rings is ...

YOU:

0** no answer X** number of rings(x=1to8) #** answer and automatically acknowledge after 8 rings

Default: 4 (answer after 4 rings) IftheB1290 is on its own telephone line, it will normally be programmed to

answer right away, after one or two rings. However, if the line is shared with other users, it should be programmed to answer after 6 to 8 rings, giv ing people lots of time to pick up the phone before the B1290 automatically answers.

The # is used when the called parties have dial pulse phones. They cannot acknowledge receipt of an alarm using a code. Instead the B1290 recog nizes 8 rings on the telephone line as an Acknowledge Code. In the direc tory, a Wait command with the required delay, is placed on the line follow ing the Dial command. This gives the called party time to hang up the phone,call theB1290back andletthe phonering8 timestoacknowledge re ceipt of the alarm (refer to Program Code 2 - Phone Directory).

Interval Timer A

If an alarm is not acknowledged after one pass through the directory, this timer determines how often the B1290 will repeat the reporting sequence.

B1290: Timer A is 2 minutes

YOU:

Default: 2 minutes

Interval Timer B

After the Timer A cycle has completed, this timer determines how often the B1290 goes through its alarm reporting sequence.

B1290: Timer B is 10 minutes

YOU:

0** automatically acknowledge after Interval A X** minutes(x=1to249)

0 would be selected if the alarms were announced over a public address system, for example, where there is no way for the alarms to be acknowledged.

Default: 10 minutes

Cycles Through Timer A (Times A)

This number determines how many times the B1290 will cycle through its alarm reporting sequence at A intervals before switching to B intervals. With its default settings, the B1290 will try 3 times at 2 minute intervals, thenswitch to reporting at 10 minute intervals. The switch to theBinterval is primarily to conserve air time on busy radio systems.

Alarm Format

This parameter changes the format of the B1290 alarm inputs to match the outputof your monitoring devices in the field. Normallyopen inputs indi cate an alarm when the input is grounded, and when the ground signal is removed, the alarm is interpreted as having cleared. Normally closed in puts are grounded in their normal state, and open when an alarm occurs. Latched inputs recognize a pulse as an alarm. After the pulse has disap peared, the input is deemed to be in the alarm conditionuntil it is acknowl edged.

Note: A latched alarmshouldprovide a short,predictable pulse totheinput of the ProTalk Plus; otherwise, it may have to be acknowledged twice. If the alarm is acknowledged while the input is active, the alarm will not be cleared and new alarms will not activate that input.

Relay On Time

The B1290 has four relays that are turned On with the relay On codes and turnedOffwiththe relay Off codes. The relay timer may be used to turn On arelay foraspecified durationandthen turnit Off automatically. The timer controls the period of time the relay is On. The interval is programmable from 1 to 199 seconds or from 1 to 199 minutes depending on the setting of the relay timescale. The timers for each relay are programmed separately and operate independently.

Setting the time to zero makes the relay an On/Off type. Setting the timer with the # digit makes the relay operate as a ‘special function’ output. This function is only available on the main ProTalk Plus unit and not on the expanders. The special functions are:

Call Progress (Dial Tone Enable)

This setting enables or disables the feature where the B1290 monitors the audio activity on the phone line when it places a call. If enabled, Call Prog ress will cause the B1290 to look for dial tone before dialing, watch for a busysignalon the called line and then wait until the called party speaksbe fore the alarm announcement begins. Without Call Progress enabled, the B1290 will perform the dial-out operation and speak regardless of the sig nals encountered on the phone line.

Do not use the Answer command immediately following a Dial command in the directories when Call Progress is enabled. This is the equivalent of two Answer commands and may result in unreliable operation.

Example 1: Reporting Alarms over Radio and Telephone

In this example, assume that your company has a mobile radio system which is monitored by field personnel. Radio operators have DTMF pads on their mics so they can acknowledge an alarm from the B1290. They would like to have the alarm reported over the radio system three times with a 2 minute interval between transmissions, then dialed out over the telephone if it is not acknowledged. If the alarm is not acknowledged, the B1290 should try again in ten minutes. After six tries at ten minute inter vals, the B1290 should switch to trying once an hour. The COS on theradio used with the B1290 gives a high signal when the channel is busy.

Example 3: Different Alarms Dialing Different Telephone Numbers

A B1290 is used in an application where there are two different types of re lated alarms. Some are building alarms, such as intrusion alarms, building temperature, power failure, etc. Others are alarms relating to specific equipment failures, such as compressor failure, high tank level or sump overflow. It is desirable to have the maintenance personnel alerted if there is a building alarm, but if there is a problem with the equipment, it would be preferable to alert the operations technicians.

In this example, alarms 1 and 2 are connected to intrusion alarm and build ing high temperature respectively. These are building alarms, and are to dial the building maintenance people at 255-9544 and then 255-9598. Com pressorfailure and high tank level are fed to alarms 3 and 4. Since these are equipmentproblems, operationstechniciansat 766-4422 andthen 766-8901 are to be alerted. Follow the previous example to enter the telephone num bers in Directory A and Directory B then set the alarms to use these two di rectories

When an alarm occurs, the B1290 will dial the number of the paging termi nal, 255-9544; wait for the terminal to answer, wait 4 seconds while the ter minal is prompting, then send the DTMF string 734 which represents the calling site. Any alarm will result in the paging message 734.

With this Alarm ON code programmed, the DTMF string Þ1Þ will be sent immediately preceding the alarm one message when alarm one is active. The message displayed on the pager will be: 734Þ1Þ

The string Þ2Þ will be sent with alarm two. In this example, the same result could have been achieved by sending 734

as part of the alarm ON DTMF code. The 734 is included as part of the tele phone number and is sent with every alarm. It appears much like a site identifier.

This example also assumes that the pager could be dialed directly. Some times a separate number for the pager must be dialed after the number for the paging terminal. In that case, you might need to insert another delay, and there might not be room to include the site identifier as part of the tele phone number.

Another way the B1290 could be programmed to dial a paging terminal wouldbe tomakethe alarm OnDTMF code thesame as thetelephonenum

Figure 6 shows a system where two remote sites are transmitting DTMF codes to a central site. The Alarm On code associated with the remote alarms is the same as the Relay On code at the central site. Similarly, the AlarmOff codes at the remote locations are the same as the Relay Off codes at the central site.

Figure 6 Activating an Annunciator Panel

When a remote alarm occurs, the DTMF code for that alarm is transmitted to the central site. On receivingthis code, the central site activates the relay associatedwiththat alarm. When the alarm clears, the Off code istransmit ted from the remote, and the cental site’s associated relay is released.

Example 9: Concentrating Alarms from Remote Sites

Inthefollowingexample,anumberof remote sites report their alarms over radio to a B1290, which concentrates the alarms and reports them over the telephone.

Figure 7 is an example of two remote sites communicating with a central site to have their alarms announced over the telephone. At the remote site, the B1290s are programmed to operate over radio. They are programmed with an alarm On output code and an Acknowledge Code. At the central

site,theB1290isprogrammedto accept remote alarm inputs on alarms 1, 2, and 3, and is connected to a telephone.

When one of the remote units is alarmed, it will send its alarm ON output

code over the radio. This code will be interpreted as a remote alarm input code at the central unit. This will initiate the B1290 to send its alarm report over radio and telephone. As part of its alarm sequence over radio, the B1290 will send its alarm On output code. This code will be interpreted as an acknowledgment by the remote, and it will stop sending the alarm. The central unit will continue to report over radio and telephone until it is ac knowledged.

Example 10: Adding an Expander

Inthis example,youare adding anexpander to aB1290 to increasethenum ber of alarm inputs and relay outputs.

Installandprogram the main B1290 unit as per theinstructionsinthis man ual. Install the expanderinalocation very close to the B1290. Complete the wiring to all the alarms and relays. Connect the cable supplied with the ex panderfrom the auxiliaryconnectoron the B1290 tothe SERIAL IN connec tor on the expander. Apply power to the installation

Theexpander is programmed fromtheB1290. Note that whentheProgram Code is entered, it is preceded by the number of the expander.

66 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Problem: I’ve hooked up the B1290 as per the installation instruc tions but nothing happens.

- Use a voltmeter to check that the power supply is properly connected. If

anAC adapter is being used,itshould have an output ofatleast 12 volts DC with a center-negative power connector. If the DC power source is con nected to the RADIO terminal block, it should have the positive lead con nected to terminal 8 and the negative lead to terminal 7 .

- Do not attach power to both inputs at the same time.

Problem: The B1290 will not program from a local programming phone.

- If you do not hear the voice prompt to begin programming, check that the

programming phone is plugged into the PGM jack and not the PHONE jack.

- If you hear the voice prompt to begin programming, but the B1290 does

notregisteryour entries, check that you are usingatone phone. Sometimes a pushbutton phone actually sends dial pulses rather than DTMF. You can tell the difference by listening in the earpiece; pulse dialing sounds like clicking, DTMF like tones.

- Check for the TONE LED on the front panel when a digit is being re-

ceived. Some phones send short bursts of tonerather than continuous tone while the key is depressed. If the B1290 is not detecting DTMF, try another phone.

-Check the setting of the receive levelforthe phone port. Since it is not pos-

sible to do this using the programming phone, it will have to done with the programming software.

-DisconnecttheRXinput from the radio. Audio received from this inputis

summed with the audio from the programming phone. If noise is being re ceived, it will affect the decoding of tones and the programming of the voices. The RX input should always be connected to squelched audio.

Problem: The B1290 does not dial out over the telephone line when an alarm occurs.

-Checkthat the phone line is plugged into the correct jack. The jack labeled

PGM is for a local programming phone; the telephone line should be plugged into the PHONE jack.

- Check that the telephone is dialing from the correct directory (Program

Code2). The B1290 has four separate directories: A, B, C and D. Check that the telephone numbers are entered correctly in the selected directory, and that the directory is not empty.

Page 68

67 Troubleshooting

- Check that an alarm is actually present, as indicated by the LEDs on the

front panel. In its default condition, the B1290 expects to see a closure to ground at the alarm input. If your alarm inputs are normally closed con tactswhich open onanalarm condition, thisparametermay be adjustedus ing Program Code 5. The debounce can also be set in this section. Thispa rameter may be set to delay reporting an alarm until it has been present for a certain number of seconds, in which case it will not recognize a momen tary closure.

Problem: The B1290 waits a long time before announcing the alarm over the radio.

- The B1290 will wait for one minute when the COS input is busy and then

transmit anyway. This is done to ensure that an open squelch on the radio does not disable the reporting operation. Check the Squelch Polarity set tingtomake sure that it matches the operation of theradio’sCOSoutput. If the COS input to the B1290 is left open the Squelch Polarity should be set to 0 using Program Code 6.

- Check the alarm delay (debounce) parameter using Program Code 5. If a

delay has been programmed, the B1290 will wait until the alarm has been present for that interval before reporting it.

- Check the directory programming to make sure that there is not an

unwanted Wait command present.

Problem: The B1290 continues dialing even after the alarms have been acknowledged.

- The most common cause of this problem is fleeting alarms. They occur

when the device reporting an alarm to the B1290 gives a series of pulses on thecontacts instead of a cleanclosure. Ifthe problem cannot be correctedin the field wiring, one option is to “debounce” the alarms using the B1290 alarm delay parameter using Program Code 5. Whenthis value is set, con tacts must be closed for a specific period of time before they are recognized as alarms.

- Check if any new alarms are announced when the B1290 continues to dial

after it has been acknowledged. Sometimes alarms at a remote site are re lated,occurringin a chain reaction from a single cause. The B1290 will start dialing when it receives the first alarm, but if another alarm occurs in the meantime, it will keep dialing until all the alarms are acknowledged.

Problem: The B1290 won’t answer the phone.

- Check that the phone line is plugged into the PHONE jack and not the

PGM jack.

- Check that the phone line is using the inner red/green pair, and not the

outer black/yellow pair (normally reserved for line 2).

Page 69

68 Troubleshooting

- Check that the B1290 is configured to answer the phone, using Program

Code 4. If the number of rings before answering is set to 0, the B1290 will never answer the phone.

- Answering the telephone will not occur if the B1290 is engaged in any of

these activities: speaking on the radio, in local programming mode and when it is using the phone line to call out. Counting of rings only begins once the unit is in its idle state.

- Check that the ringing voltage on the telephone line exceeds 40 VAC at 20

Hz. The RING LED located on the front panel will indicate if proper ring ing voltage is being received.

- Check that the telephone line has a standard ringing cadence of two sec

onds on, four seconds off. If the ringing cadence is greatly different, it may not be detected.

Problem: The B1290 will not acknowledge.

- Check that you are sending the correct digits. Theacknowledge code can

be changed using Program Code 3.

-Ifthe B1290 is not acknowledging over radio, it maybenecessaryto adjust

the receive level setting for the radio port.

-IftheB1290is not acknowledging over the telephone line, it may be neces-

sary to adjust the receive level setting for the phone port.

- Check that the TONE LED on the front panel of the B1290 lights when a

DTMF digit is received.

Problem: The B1290 does not activate its relay when I send the DTMF On code.

- Check that you are sending the right digits. The relay On/Off codes can

be changed by using Program Code 3.

-Check the relay On timeusingProgram Code 5. If the setting is0,the relay

will stay On until it is commanded Off. For any other setting, the relay will only operate for the programmed number of seconds.

-If the relays do not operatefromcodes sent over the radio, itmaybe neces

sary to adjust the receive level setting for the radio port.

- If the relays do not operate from codes sent over the telephone, it may be

necessary to adjust the receive level setting for the phone port.

- Check that the TONE LED on the front panel of the B1290 lights when a

digit is received.

Page 70

69 Troubleshooting

Problem: Our operators live in an area which has a dial pulse ex

change. How can they acknowledge the B1290 when it calls?

- Even though the operators have rotary phones, they can still send tone

codes if they have a DTMF pad, purchased separately, which sits by the phone.

- The B1290 may be programmed to automatically acknowledge after eight

rings. Thus if theB1290calls an operatorwith a dialpulsephone, the opera tor can hang up after he hears the message, call the B1290 right back, let the phone ring eight times, and the B1290 will recognize that as an acknowl edgment. Set the number of rings before answering to # in the Configura tion section (Program Code 4), and put a Wait command in the next directory line to allow time for them to call the B1290 back.

Problem: How can I prevent unauthorized personnel from calling up the B1290 and altering its programming?

- In its default condition, the B1290 does not require any type of password.

If you wish to enter one, refer to the Access Code in the DTMF Codes section (Program Code 3). If an Access Code is programmed, anyone calling the B1290 will receive a report of its status, but it will prompt the caller to enterthe AccessCodebefore allowingthem into theprogramming mode.

Problem: Can I use the Þ character as part of my DTMF strings? Won’t this be confused with the “Enter” code?

-The # andÞ charactersmaybe usedasa part ofanyprogrammable DTMF

string. The only time you must be careful is when entering an asterisk (Þ) asthe last digit in a string. Be sure towaitmorethan one second after entering the last digit before hitting Enter (ÞÞ); otherwise the last Þ will be interpreted as part of the Enter code.

Problem: The B1290 has lost its programming.

- As it runs, the B1290 is constantly performing internal self-checks, and on

rare occasions it may find that a memory location has been corrupted. If that happens, the B1290 resets all programmed parameters (except the voice messages) to the default values. At the same time, it will announce Program Code Error over the radio. As the telephone directories have been lost,the B1290 cannot dial outtoreport the failure over thephone. Theonly way you will be able to tell that something has gone wrong is by phoning the B1290; it will announce a Program Code Error as soon as it answers the phone. In order to have some local indication that an error has occurred, hook a local speaker into the radio connections.

The most common causes of a memory loss are power spikes which enter theboard throughthepower, ground,telephone line, orradio connections.

Page 71

70 Troubleshooting

Problem: I tried to change the telephone numbers and now the B1290 will not dial out at all.

- Check the programming for Directory A to be sure that the correct com

mand sequence is entered. If aDirectory Control Code is being used, make sure that the B1290 has not been changed to a directory that disables the alarmreporting. This would be the case where a directory contains the sin gle Wait command or possibly commands for only the radio port.
