INTRODUCTION

The EDAC 400-02 is a cost-effective, auto reporting dialler designed for industrial, domestic and
small-business use. The EDAC 400-02 is an effective tool for alerting the user to events such as
faults or changes in equipment state. It is physically compact, consumes little power and can be
installed very quickly. Its ease of programming combined with simple installation make it highly
attractive and cost effective in monitoring applications.

The EDAC 400-02 is activated by a contact closure, or opening, which results in the start of a
user-defined dialling sequence, followed by the transmission of either an 8-second voice
message or a 20-character pager/SMS message (subject to network availability).

When an event triggers the auto-dialler, the EDAC 400-02 will make an alarm notification call.
The EDAC 400-02 will pick up the phone line and call a list of people via telephone, cell phone or
pager. The EDAC 400-02 speaks the pre-recorded message announcing the problem.

Upon receipt of an alarm call you may reset the EDAC 400-02 by simply pressing a numeric digit
on your telephone keypad or by entering a user-defined PIN number. This will stop the unit
making further alarm notification calls. Alternatively, the EDAC 400-02 may be interrogated by
calling into it and listening to the voice message. This provides the opportunity to
cancel/acknowledge the alarm inputs via the telephone keypad. This option would normally be
used when the EDAC 400-02 is operating in conjunction with a pager and/or SMS messaging.
Other options, such as Outputs, are user programmable either on site or remotely (via a
telephone).

Once the EDAC 400-02 is in a cancelled state, the EDAC 400-02 will suspend its dialling
sequence and remain cancelled until the event that triggered the alarm has been removed
(cleared). If the EDAC 400-02 does not receive acknowledgment of an alarm, it will remain in
dialling mode until the event that triggered the alarm is cleared, or the user-defined call count limit
is reached.

All telephone numbers, messages, and functions are user programmable via a keypad and a
single character display.

The EDAC 400-02 has numerous programmable features that enable it to be a flexible telemetry
monitoring tool suitable for use in any situation. If you require information about the EDAC 400-02
and how it can be used with your monitoring application, please contact your supplier. For online
manuals for all EDAC products, use the EDAC web site http://www.edacelectronics.com/support.

Modem

The EDAC 400-02 has an onboard 2400 baud V22bis modem (backward compatible with 1200
V22 connections) used for alphanumeric paging and remote configuration using Hyper Terminal.
The EDAC 400-02 can also be put into transparent mode. This allows remote communications
via a dial-up connection, to devices attached to the external RS232 connector such as a PLC or
RTU.

Programming

Functions (including voice), are normally programmed using the keypad and single character
display. The EDAC 400-02 can also be programmed through the inbuilt RS232 connector and
Hyper Terminal; a Windows based application shipped with all versions of Windows. See section
‘Programming using RS232’ in ‘Application Notes’ for detailed instructions.

Alarm Cancellation

Alarm notification calls can be cancelled by using a DTMF touch-tone phone. The alarm can be
cancelled by pressing any numeric key on your telephone keypad or by entering a PIN,
depending on which option you have selected at the time of installation and programming.

INSTALLATION

Installation Requirements

The typical wiring schematic is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Typical EDAC 400-02 Installation

 Power Supply
A DC regulated power supply complying with Telecom PTC101 or ACA regulations is required
(such as EDAC PB12). The DC power supply should be normally constant, between 12 and 15
volts. An optional battery backup power supply (EDAC PB12) is required to maintain operation
during a mains failure event.

 Input Triggers
The input trigger causes the EDAC 400-02 to commence the dialling sequence. A clean contact,
voltage-free input is required. This would normally be via an external relay or switch. The EDAC
400-02 is configured by default for a normally open type input. Alternatively the user can
configure any of the inputs to accept a normally closed type input (see function F52).
Some examples of these types of triggers might be a relay output, a micro-switch or a float
switch. Any of the inputs can be configured as either an input or an output (see function F08).

NOTE: The activating trigger must be installed correctly and maintained to

prevent false triggering.

 Earth Discharge
The EDAC 400-02 has a separate Earth Discharge Circuit, which is used to protect the EDAC
400-02 and any attached equipment from lightning strikes and other external high voltage
transients, which may travel down the phone line. The Earth Discharge circuit must be connected
to a common earth point. These are usually found at a switch board earth point (earth buss bar).
The Earth Discharge should be connected using a M3 ring terminal to the bottom right PCB
screw (near phone/line sockets).

 Telephone Line
The EDAC 400-02 does not require a separate line and can be inserted as a master upstream
device in an existing telephone connection (see Secure Installation on next page). An RJ11 plug
and socket system is used. You must use the cord-set provided to connect the EDAC 400-02 to
the Telecom wall socket or the EDAC 400-02 may not work and no alarm notification calls will be
made. Extra cords are available upon request for a small charge. The EDAC 400-02 may be used
with a PABX (Private exchange) but it must be connected to an analog line.

WARNING: If the existing phone system has lights on the phone it is

probably a digital PABX system.

Do not plug the EDAC 400-02 into a digital phone system unless you are sure

that it supports standard analog phone equipment. Plugging the unit into an

incorrect phone system will cause severe damage to the equipment and void

the warranty. If there is any uncertainty please contact the supplier where you

purchased your PABX for more information.

Points to Note:

 The EDAC 400-02 can be connected between the telephone line (trunk) and the PABX

or it can be used on an extension.

 When connected to a PABX and an extension, ensure that the extension socket the

EDAC 400-02 is plugged into remains active during a power failure. Refer to your
PABX instructions or contact your supplier.

Telephone Line Connection

The following schematic diagrams show typical EDAC 400-02 phone line installations:

Wall Socket Installation

Figure 2 shows a typical single wall socket installation and requires two telephone-related
connections. Other telephones left off-hook may prevent the EDAC 400-02 from making calls.

Figure 2: Wall Socket Installation

Secure Installation

This is a master upstream device configuration and may require Telecom assistance to remove
the connection between the first wall socket and other wall sockets, as shown below. On an
alarm input trigger, the EDAC 400-02 takes over the telephone line, disconnecting all other calls.
The alarm condition is immediately acted on and cannot be stopped by unauthorised means.
When not triggered, the EDAC 400-02 has no effect on the phone line.

HOW THE EDAC 400-02 WORKS

Run Mode

On power-up, the EDAC 400-02 will be in RUN mode assuming no trigger is present. RUN mode
can be identified by a horizontal line on the display with a flashing dot.

The EDAC 400-02 uses three distinct states when in RUN mode:

Active

When the EDAC 400-02 is active (in alarm state) the unit will make alarm notification
calls.

Cancelled or acknowledged

When the EDAC 400-02 is active (in alarm state) the unit will make alarm notification
calls. When these active trigger states (inputs) have all been acknowledged the EDAC
400-02 is said to be in a cancelled state. This means that the EDAC 400-02 will not make
any further calls. The input is still present however and it must be removed in order to re­trigger the EDAC 400-02. Any new trigger on a different alarm input will initiate a new
alarm notification call sequence.

Cleared or Idle

The input is cleared when it no longer meets the input criteria (e.g. trigger on closed
contact and the contact is open). The EDAC 400-02 is idle when all inputs are clear (i.e.
no inputs present).

These states can normally be identified by the following symbols on the display.

= Cleared or Idle (default at power up)
= Active (Looking for dial tone / dialling)

= Active (Call connected, speaking / sending messages)
= Active (In retry loop, waiting to make next call)
= Cancelled or acknowledged (EDAC 400-02 cancelled)

Making Alarm Notification Calls

When an event triggers an alarm notification call, the EDAC 400-02 will dial through the
telephone number call list. When the call is answered, the voice message is spoken or the pager
message sent. This process is broken down into the following stages:

1. All inputs are idle (no alarms are being triggered).

2. An input meets the alarm-trigger criteria (see functions F51 and F52).

3. The EDAC 400-02 waits for the trigger/dial time to elapse (the time between the alarm
trigger and the first phone call being made). If the input is removed before the EDAC 400­02 has had time to place a call the input state goes back to idle unless the input is set to
latch. (see functions F09, F52 and F96)

4. The EDAC 400-02 will now make calls to the people on your call list (see functions F07
and F11).

When a call is answered and it is a voice call (telephone, cell/mobile phone, etc) it will speak the
message sequence outlined below.

 Your site message (identifies the site)
 The Input messages (identifies which alarms have been triggered)
 The cancellation message (if you cancel the alarms) “The following Inputs have

been acknowledged”

 The Input messages again (if the alarms are cancelled but the Input triggers have

not been removed)

 The site message is repeated at the end of the message sequence.

Page 10 of 40

This message sequence will be spoken repeatedly for whatever length of time you have set for

‘Function F55 Message Play Time’.

Once the message play time (see ‘Function F55 Message Play Time’) has been reached, the
EDAC 400-02 will hang up the call. The EDAC 400-02 now waits for the time programmed in
‘Function F53 Wait Time Between Calls’ before making the next call in the call list (function F53).

An ‘r’ will be displayed indicating the dialler is in a retry state.
On receiving an alarm notification call, you should acknowledge (cancel) the alarm by pressing

any key or entering the PIN number. This will stop the EDAC 400-02 from making more calls.
If the EDAC 400-02 hangs up before you have time to cancel, you can dial into the unit to cancel
it (functions F03, F04, F05 and F06 to set cancellation options).

Cancelling Alarm Notification Calls

When the EDAC 400-02 is cancelled or acknowledged it will stop trying to make alarm notification
calls. An alarm notification call is cancelled by one of three ways:

 User Acknowledgement by key-press on telephone
 User Acknowledgement by calling into EDAC
 Self-Cancel by counting calls.

User Acknowledgement by key-press on telephone

If you receive a call from the EDAC 400-02 and wish to acknowledge (cancel) the call, stopping
further calls being made, press the any numeric key (0-9) on your telephone keypad while the
alarm message is playing. The option of cancelling using a PIN can be set in ‘Function F11
Telephone Pager Numbers’.

The EDAC 400-02 will respond with beeps to confirm it has received your key presses and then
announce which inputs have been acknowledged. At this point, user may hang up their
telephone. No other calls will be made by the EDAC 400-02 until a new trigger signal occurs.

If you do not wish to acknowledge the alarm, press the # key to make the EDAC 400-02 hang
up and call the next number in its call list.

If you have acknowledged the alarm, pressing # will put the EDAC 400-02 into modem mode
(you will hear fax tones). Hang up your phone – the EDAC 400-02 will automatically time-out and

stop making further calls.
Pressing *0# will acknowledge the call and make the EDAC 400-02 hang up immediately.

No further alarm notification calls will be made.

User Acknowledgement by calling into EDAC

This method is normally used to allow the EDAC 400-02 to be cancelled after receiving a call on
your pager. It can also be used if the EDAC 400-02 hangs up before you have time to cancel. Go
to a telephone and ring the telephone number of the EDAC 400-02. The EDAC 400-02 will
answer and play messages to announce its current status. You may cancel (if allowed) by
pressing any key on your phone or entering your PIN on your telephone keypad

Self-Cancel by counting calls

When the number of calls set in ‘Function F56 Call Counter’, is reached, the alarm condition is

cancelled and the EDAC 400-02 will not make any further calls.

INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING YOUR EDAC 400-02

Introduction – Program Mode

In order to program phone numbers, voice messages and other parameters into the EDAC, it

must be put into ‘Program Mode’. In this mode the EDAC is ready to store entered parameters for
use later when in ‘Run Mode’. The EDAC uses a series of key sequences and prompts to enter

parameters. These are explained below

Explanation of prompts – Program Mode

The ‘F’ prompt indicates the EDAC 400-02 is in programming mode and is waiting for you
to select a function.

The ‘P’ prompt indicates that a function (‘F’) has been selected and the EDAC 400-02 is
awaiting parameter (‘P’) entry for this function.

The ‘E’ prompt indicates the EDAC 400-02 has detected an error in the data entry process,
or a function is empty. Note that the ‘E’ is also displayed for the number 12 in some
functions.

The ‘t’ prompt indicates the EDAC 400-02 is waiting for you to enter a call type. The
seven-segment display cannot create a ‘t’ character but the picture above is an accurate
diagram of this prompt.

The ‘r’ prompt indicates that a voice message is recording.

Entering Programming Mode

Press 1234 (The factory default PIN number)

The ‘F’ prompt will appear on the display.
If your PIN is not working, turn the EDAC 400-02 off and hold down a key while powering up. The

product will first display the firmware version (e.g. 3.5.3.) then go into programming mode and

display the ‘F’ prompt.

Programming Example

Below is an example of a prompt and key-press sequence for setting the call progress function.
Programming of all functions in the EDAC follows a very similar sequence. The large segment

characters represent prompts on the display of the EDAC. The key type characters (abc)
represent input from the user on the keypad.

The example below will set the Call Progress function (F02) to ‘dial tone detect only’. (P1)



02





1

Dial tone detect only.

The EDAC will often play back any user entry on the display so the user can check the correct

value was entered. The EDAC will always return to the ‘F’ prompt when an entry sequence is

complete.

Page 12 of 40

The * Key - Program Checking

The * key is used to display current parameter data held in the EDAC 400-02. Select a function
and, when the ‘P’ is displayed, press the * key. The data currently held in that function will

display (digit by digit in the case of multi-digit entries).

Exit to RUN Mode

Once all the functions have been programmed, exit programming mode by pressing ## very
quickly at the ‘F’ prompt. The EDAC 400-02 should now display the with a flashing dot. In

RUN mode the EDAC 400-02 is ready to accept an input trigger and make alarm notification
calls.



## = Exit programming to RUN mode.

Restore Factory Defaults

Use this function to clear old or unknown parameters (user settings) and return to factory
settings. You can then reprogram each function from the default starting point

NOTE: This procedure does not affect any existing voice messages.

WARNING: The following instructions will clear your user settings from all

functions associated with an input, e.g. #1 will clear the phone/pager
numbers, trigger type, wait time, message play time and call counter for input

one. If you wish to reset only one or two functions, look up those functions in
this manual and simply reprogram the data.



#0 = Clear general parameters (functions F01 to F09).
#1 = Clear phone numbers and all parameters for Input 1.
#2 = Clear phone numbers and all parameters for Input 2.
#3 = Clear phone numbers and all parameters for Input 3.
#4 = Clear phone numbers and all parameters for Input 4.

GETTING STARTED QUICKLY - EXAMPLE

Below is a brief description of how to quickly set up the essential functions of the EDAC 400-02.
This simple configuration example will take you through the steps needed to:

 Program one telephone number for your alarm notification call list.
 Record one voice message to identify the site (location of the alarm).
 Record one voice message to report the alarm condition.
 Replay the recorded voice message so you can check it.
 Apply a physical trigger to any input (1-4) to initiate an alarm notification call and test

that the unit is working.

Entering Programming Mode

Press 1234 (the factory default PIN number).

The ‘F’ prompt will appear on the display.

If your PIN is not working, turn the EDAC 400-02 off and hold down a key while powering
up. The product will go into programming mode and display the ‘F’ prompt.

Programming Telephone Numbers

There are a number of phone number storage options with a maximum of 16 different

numbers. For full instructions on how to program telephone numbers, refer to ‘F11
Programming Your Telephone / Pager / SMS Numbers’ and ‘F07 Call List Priority and

Rosters’ for full instructions

## very quickly at the ‘F’ prompt. The EDAC 400-02 should now display the with a

flashing dot. In RUN mode the EDAC 400-02 is ready to accept an input trigger and make
alarm notification calls.

Testing the EDAC 400-02

By default the input is set up for normally open. Connecting the input terminal to negative
supply will trigger the EDAC 400-02.

Ensure the EDAC 400-02 is connected to an analog phone line. Use a paper clip or small
piece of wire to connect any input to ground (third terminal from the left). This will make a
closed connection, causing the input to trigger and the EDAC 400-02 to make an alarm
notification call.

Function F02 Call Progress

This Function determines if the EDAC looks for dial and/or ring tone when making an alarm
notification call. It also uses this setting to determine if a call has been successful or not. For the
call counter to be incremented the call must be successful, therefore the conditions of this
function must be met.

For example if ‘Dial tone Detect only’ is used the EDAC must detect dial tone for a successful call

to be made and for the call counter to be incremented.
Using dial tone detection only is recommended.

dial tone. If detected, it dials the number and the
voice messages are spoken for the play time (set
in function F55). If not detected tries the next

number.

2 = Ring tone detect only.

Picks up line as 0 (no tone-detect) above. If tones
other than RING tone are detected the call is
aborted and the next number is tried. Once
ringing, the EDAC 400-02 must detect silence

before speaking message.

3 = Dial and Ring.

Detects both dial tone and ring as in 1 and 2 above.

Default: 1 (Dial tone only)

Note: Please see section ‘Compliance Notes’ on page 38

Function F03 Ring-back Trigger Cancellation

When an input is active, the dialler will attempt to make calls. If the input (see F53) allows a wait
time between calls and the dialler will answer incoming calls (also see F04, F05, and F06).

The caller may then cancel the input (as below).



03





0 = Caller cannot cancel Inputs.

The EDAC 400-02 will play its voice
messages and not stop making calls.

1 = Input cancelled by any number key.

Pressing * and # does not cancel the
Input.

2 = Input cancelled by PIN.

Default: 1 (Cancel by any number key)

Function F04 Answer Incoming Calls When any Input Active

When an input is active the EDAC 400-02 will attempt to make alarm notification calls. Setting a
wait time (function F53) gives you the opportunity to call into the EDAC 400-02 and cancel the
input. When an input is cancelled, the alarm condition still exists but the EDAC 400-02 will stop
making alarm notification calls.

The EDAC 400-02 will only use this function and its setting when any input is active.

when any Input is active.

Default: 4 (Answer after four rings when any Input active)

Page 17 of 40

Function F05 Answer Incoming Calls When all Inputs are Cancelled

When an Input is cancelled, the alarm condition still exists but the EDAC 400-02 will stop making
alarm notification calls. If you wish to monitor the status of an alarm you can call into the EDAC
400-02 periodically and listen to its message. Monitoring Input (alarm) status can be useful as
certain alarm conditions may go away by themselves e.g. electrical power will be automatically
restored after a power failure. In this instance the alarm condition is removed automatically and
the EDAC 400-02 will reset itself to the idle state.

The EDAC 400-02 will only use this value when all active Inputs are cancelled but not removed.

Function F06 Answer Incoming Calls When no Inputs Active (Idle)

You may wish to periodically dial into the EDAC 400-02 to confirm that it is in idle state. This can
be useful if you have previously received a notification call of an alarm which may cancel itself
e.g. electrical power will be automatically restored after a power failure. Because the alarm
condition is removed, the EDAC 400-02 will reset itself to the idle state.

The EDAC 400-02 will use this value only when there are no Inputs active and is in the idle state.

NOTE: If using Outputs you will need to consider appropriate values for functions

F04, F05 and F06, to ensure the EDAC 400-02 answers the phone appropriately.

For installations that only use voice alarm notification calls where no user call back is required,
functions F04, F05 and F06 can be set to zero ensuring the EDAC 400-02 will never answer an
incoming alarm call. This allows the phone line to be used for other day-to-day activities. This
configuration requires that the operator acknowledges the alarm notification call on the phone
they receive the call on.

Page 18 of 40

Function F07 Call List Priority & Rosters

The EDAC 400-02 can be programmed with up to 16 different phone numbers. By default the
programmed numbers are treated as a single list of 16 numbers. Using F07 the list can be
divided up in to blocks of 4, or 8 and treated differently depending on the alarm Input trigger
number.

The list of telephone/pager numbers can be configured in a number of ways including rosters.
A roster is used to assign a specific call list to be used to call only the people who will be on duty

that day. You can use four separate lists of four phone numbers, and change which list is to be
used either remotely or on site.

When the call is established and the EDAC 400-02 is speaking the idle message, the current
roster may be changed by pressing * followed by the roster number (1, 2, 3 or 4).

Default: 5 (One list of 16 numbers)

Rosters 1-4

Page 19 of 40

Function F08 Outputs

All 4 Inputs can be used as pull down (open collector type) Outputs. A physical terminal can be
used either as an Input or Output but not both. Any combination of Inputs and Outputs can be
configured. See section Specifications for max current and voltage ratings.

These Outputs are independent from any Input and are toggled by a key press once a call is
established and a suitable PIN has been entered to gain access to ‘Output Mode’. An operator’s
pre-recorded voice message provides feedback to the operator as to the status of the Output e.g.
‘The heater is On’ or ‘The heater is Off’.

See ‘Using Outputs’ in the Application Notes section for more information on using outputs
The numbers used to identify Outputs are the opposite of the Input numbers, i.e. Input 4 is

Output 1. Please refer to the table below to see which Inputs correspond to which Outputs.

Default: 0 (All Inputs)

Function F09 Trigger/Dial Time

This function determines the period to wait from physical trigger to alarm condition and dial out. It
can be used as a trigger delay timer to allow for exit / entry time, or can be used with float
switches to ensure the level has reached and is triggering the float switch correctly.

The latch capture, (function F52) occurs either when triggered, or at the end of the trig/dial time.
The value displayed is seconds by default. Minutes may be used (see function F96)

7 = 20 sec/min 8 = 30 sec/min
9 = 60 sec/min # = 120 sec/min

Default: 0 (Start dialling when triggered)

Page 20 of 40

Function F96 Trigger/Dial Mode

When an alarm input is present the EDAC 400-02 will trigger. The EDAC 400-02 will not begin
calling until the trigger/dial time has passed (see function F09). Function F96 is used to set the
units used (seconds or minutes) by the trigger/dial time in F09.

When the input is latching the input can be latched either at the trigger time or at the dial time
(see function F52). Latch on trigger means once the EDAC 400-02 has been triggered it will
continue until it is acknowledged. If the input is set to latch on dial and the trigger is removed
before the dial has commenced the EDAC 400-02 will cancel and stop making calls. With function
F52 set as non-latching, the latch on trigger and latch on dial have no effect. The trigger dial time
is always relevant.

Default: 0 (Latch on trigger & trigger/dial time is in seconds)

Function F99 Send Model Information via RS232

This function makes the EDAC 400-02 send an identification string via the RS232 connector. By
using this function from the keypad you can send text to a PC. This is a good way to check if the
PC is correctly connected and communicating. You need to be running Hyperterm or a similar
terminal emulation program. The text is sent as 1200bps, ASCII 8-bit, no parity, one stop bit.

PROGRAMMING – RECORDING VOICE MESSAGES

Function F0* Recording Voice Messages

The operator can re-record all voice messages in the EDAC 400-02. Voice messages are
recorded on to an analogue EEPROM for permanent storage using the microphone provided
inside the lid on the top left hand corner of the EDAC 400-02. The message is played back
through the onboard speaker. The Speaker Mute jumper (J600) must be in the top most position
(un-muted) to hear any message playback. See ‘PROGRAMMING - Jumper Settings’ for more
information.

Jumper J602 is provided to protect your recorded messages in EEPROM from being accidentally
erased. At the time of shipping the default position is to the down/bottom (unprotected) position,
allowing messages to be re-recorded, for your installation configuration.

NOTE: You must ensure that the voice protection jumper (J602) is in the
down/bottom position before attempting to record a message or your message will

not be recorded.

Play and Record control keys

All voice messages start with 0* this is the function number. After this a ‘P’ for parameter will
be displayed and a parameter must be entered. Use the tables below to select a parameter for

the different voice message slots.

 To start recording press # after entering the parameter number. Recording starts

immediately, and is indicated by an ‘r’ being displayed. Press any key to finish
recording. The message will be played back automatically. Then the ‘F’ prompt will

PROGRAMMING – INPUT SPECIFIC PARAMETERS

Function F10 Programming Your Pager Messages

When an alarm notification call is made to a Pager, the message in this function is sent.
If you want to use a text message, e.g. ‘Boiler Alarm’, this must be sent to an Alpha-numeric

pager or cell phone. You need to use a PC and a terminal program such as HyperTerminal to
configure alpha-numeric messages. See section ‘Programming using RS232’ in ‘Application
Notes’ for detailed instructions.

Notice to Australian Users: The EDAC 400-02 is not compatible with SMS via TAP
services in Australia. The 400-02 cannot send SMS messages to cellular phones in
Australia.

Message one is entered as follows:



10





Enter pager message followed by a #
to save

e.g. 2234#

Default: Empty (Displays as ‘E’ for Empty)

Each of the four Input pager messages must be programmed separately as follows:

 Use F10 for Input 1 pager message 1 as in the example above.
 Use F20 for Input 2 pager message 2.
 Use F30 for Input 3 pager message 3.
 Use F40 for Input 4 pager message 4.

To reset a pager message to empty: Select the message, do not enter a message and save
using the # key.

Function F11 Programming Your Telephone/Pager/SMS Numbers

The EDAC 400-02 can be programmed with up to 16 different phone numbers. Each of the four
individual Inputs can have can have up to 4 phone numbers, associated with it hence a total of 16
numbers can be programmed into the EDAC 400-02.

Notice to Australian Users: The EDAC 400-02 is not compatible with SMS via TAP
services in Australia. The 400-02 cannot send SMS messages to cellular phones in
Australia.

By default the programmed numbers are treated as a single list of 16 numbers. Using function
F07 Call List Priority, the list can be divided up and treated differently depending on the alarm
Input trigger number. See function F07

When the alarm Input is activated, the EDAC 400-02 will start to dial through the call list, always
starting with the first phone number on the call list, then the next and so on. When programming
phone numbers and/or pager numbers they may be entered in any order. However, alarm
notification calls will be made in the function sequence number in the table below while applying
the rule selected in function F07 Call List Priority.

When using pagers, the RIC code of the pager which is normally written on the pager,
should be entered into one of these phone number slots.

If you are using a PABX: Sometimes problems can be encountered when getting the
EDAC 400-02 to dial an outside line. Usually this occurs when the outside line number
(e.g. 1 or 9) is dialled and the EDAC 400-02 begins dialling the phone number before the
PABX can produce the outside line dial tone. This results in the first few numbers being
missed by the PABX. This problem can be overcome by putting more pauses between the
outside line number and the phone number to be dialled. If you are using a PABX system,

a two-second pause may be inserted using the * key. You cannot start or end with a
pause.

Call Types

The ‘call type’ selects the type of call being made by the EDAC 400-02 to the user e.g. voice or
pager. It also sets an option for how the alarm notification call associated with this number will be
cancelled / acknowledged.

Each subsequent phone number to be dialled is entered in the same manner: 12 is list one,
phone number two, 21 is list 2, phone number one or phone number five, if F07 is on default
setting of 5, providing one call list of 16 numbers (see table previous page).

Clearing a Telephone Number:
Enter the function number then press the # key without a number. An ‘E’ will be displayed to

show it is empty. To clear the complete list for one Input use #1 (call list for Input 1), #2 (call

list for Input 2) #3 (call list for Input 3) or #4 (call list for Input 4).

NOTE: If the memory jumper (J702) is in the Protect position, any new parameters you
enter, such as phone numbers, will not be stored. This error can be easily detected by
watching the numbers being played back for verification. The character display will show
either an ’E’, for empty, or the previous numbers will be displayed rather than the newly
entered ones. See Jumper Settings in the Installation section of the manual for information
on jumper settings.

Points to Note:

 You select a call type when you program each individual phone number. This provides the

flexibility for some phone numbers being set to ‘cancel by any key’ and some being set to

‘cancel by PIN’ e.g. if the EDAC 400-02 is going to make an alarm notification call which could

be received by the wrong person (such as a baby sitter), you might like to set this number to
cancel by PIN to ensure any alarms do not get accidentally cancelled by the wrong person.

 Cancel methods shown here apply only to outgoing alarm notification calls made by the

EDAC 400-02 to a human operator not incoming calls. See F03 Cancel Option When Making
an Incoming Call for this.

Function F15 Programming an SMS/Paging Access Number

This only applies to SMS or Alpha-Numeric paging that uses the TAP protocol. Your local
dealer should be able to provide this number for the type of pager you are using. Most mobile
phones can also use Alpha-Numeric paging to receive text onto the phone. This service is called
short message service (SMS) or text messaging.

Notice to Australian Users: The EDAC 400-02 is not compatible with SMS via TAP
services in Australia. The 400-02 cannot send SMS messages to cell phones in Australia.

If you are using a PABX: Sometimes problems can be encountered when getting the
EDAC 400-02 to dial an outside line. Usually this occurs when the outside line number
(e.g. 1 or 9) is dialled and the EDAC 400-02 begins dialling the pager number before the
PABX can produce the outside line dial tone. This results in the first few numbers being
missed by the PABX. This problem can be overcome by putting more pauses between the
outside line number and the pager number to be dialled. If you are using a PABX system, A
two-second pause may be inserted using the * key. You cannot start or end with a pause.

The pager access number is entered as follows:



15





Enter pager access number followed by a # to save

e.g. 1*026124#

dials 1, pause, 026124

Default: Blank (Displays as ‘E’ for Empty)

Each of the four inputs must be programmed separately as follows:

 Use F15 for Input 1, as in the example above.
 Use F25 for Input 2.
 Use F35 for Input 3.
 Use F45 for Input 4.

Page 26 of 40

Function F51 Setting Inputs to Trigger or Report

An Input may be configured as triggering or reporting. A triggering input triggers alarm notification
calls. A reporting input will not cause the EDAC 400-02 to make any calls. A reporting input will
speak its message either when the EDAC 400-02 has already been triggered by another Input
and is making an alarm notification call, or when you call into the unit to check its status (active,
cancelled or idle).

Set Input one as follows:



51





0 = Triggering input. This input dials.

1 = Reporting input.

When another input is dialling this input
reports. This input will not cause the
EDAC 400-02 to make any calls.

Default: 0 (Triggering)

By default all four inputs are set to triggering. Each of the four inputs must be programmed
separately to change them from triggering to reporting, as follows:

 Use F51 for Input 1, as in the example above.
 Use F61 for Input 2.
 Use F71 for Input 3.
 Use F81 for Input 4.

Function F52 Physical Input Trigger Configuration

You can configure the input to trigger on normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.)
contacts. The pull-ups may be changed to pull-downs by moving the appropriate input channel
jumper (see Jumper Settings in the Installation section). Any unused inputs must be treated as
normally open.

The EDAC 400-02 can latch an input so that, even though the physical trigger is removed or
gone back to its normal state, the EDAC 400-02 continues to make alarm notification calls. The
input latches after the latch time as defined in function F09. Function F96 determines how the
time in function F09 is applied and in what units (seconds or minutes).

By default the input triggers are set up to be non-latching. This means that when the input
trigger is removed, the EDAC 400-02 will stop making alarm notification calls.

By default the input is set up for normally open. Connecting the input terminal to negative supply
will trigger the EDAC 400-02.

Alternatively the input can be set up for normally closed, input terminal connected to negative
supply. Opening the connection will trigger the EDAC 400-02.

Page 27 of 40

The trigger type for input one is set as follows:



52





0 = Normally open and input will not latch.
1 = Normally open and input will latch.
2 = Normally closed and input will not latch.
3 = Normally closed and input will latch.

Default: 0 (Normally open)

By default all four inputs are set to Normally Open and the inputs will not latch. Each of the four
inputs must be programmed separately to change them from N.O. non-latching as follows:

 Use F52 for Input 1, as in the example above.
 Use F62 for Input 2.
 Use F72 for Input 3.
 Use F82 for Input 4.

Function F53 Wait Time Between Calls

This function determines the period to wait between one call and the next. The wait time allows
an opportunity for the user to call into the EDAC 400-02 to cancel the input or listen to the current
status messages. Each individual input has its own wait time.

Set the wait time for input one as follows:



53





Wait time between calls is …

1 to 9 = 1 to 9 minutes.
# = 12 minutes.
0 = No wait time. Immediately call

next number.

Default: 4 (Four minutes)

Each of the four inputs must be programmed separately as follows:

 Use F53 for Input 1, as in the example above.
 Use F63 for Input 2.
 Use F73 for Input 3.
 Use F83 for Input 4.

Page 28 of 40

Function F54 Pager Delay Time

The pager delay time only relates to numeric pager calls (see function F11). This is the time from
dialling the number to when the paging network answers the call. The EDAC 400-02 sends the
DTMF pager message at this point. You can determine this time by dialling the pager network
with a telephone and measuring the period from dialling the number until the call is answered.

The pager delay time for input one is set as follows:



54





Pager delay time is …

1 = 3 seconds
2 = 6 seconds
3 = 9 seconds
4 = 12 seconds
5 = 15 seconds

6 = 18 seconds
7 = 21 seconds
8 = 24 seconds
9 = 27 seconds
# = 36 seconds

Default: 3 (Nine seconds)

Each of the four inputs must be programmed separately as follows:

 Use F54 for Input 1, as in the example above.
 Use F64 for Input 2.
 Use F74 for Input 3.
 Use F84 for Input 4.

Function F55 Message Play Time

The Message Play Time is the amount of time, in minutes, that the EDAC 400-02 is allowed to be
off hook to dial the number, speak messages and accept a cancellation. The EDAC 400-02 will
speak the message for the playtime before the call is terminated. The play time starts from when
the EDAC 400-02 starts to dial.

Note that if an alarm notification call is not answered and is forwarded through to a voicemail
service the time programmed into this function will also determine the length of the message left
on the answering service.

The playtime for input one is set as follows:



55





Play time is …

1 to 9 = 1 to 9 minutes
# = 12 minutes
0 = 30 sec

Default: 1 (One minute)

Each of the four inputs must be programmed separately as follows:

 Use F55 for Input 1, as in the example above.
 Use F65 for Input 2.
 Use F75 for Input 3.
 Use F85 for Input 4.

Page 29 of 40

Function F56 Call Counter

As successful telephone/pager calls are made they are counted. The input alarm condition is
automatically self cancelled when the number of calls made exceeds the value set in this
function. If a call was not successful (e.g. the telephone was BUSY) the call is not counted. Each
input has its own call counter. An individual inputs call counter is incremented when the input
message is spoken.

The call counter for input one is set as follows:



56





Input cancelled after…

1 to 9 = 1 to 9 calls.
# = 12 calls. (Displays as NB: This is not an error).
0 = Unlimited number of calls are made and EDAC 400-02

input is not self cancelled.

Default: 0 (Unlimited number of calls made)

Each of the four inputs must be programmed separately as follows:

 Use F56 for Input 1, as in the example above.
 Use F66 for Input 2.
 Use F76 for Input 3.
 Use F86 for Input 4.

Automatic re-attempts to the same number: There shall be no more than
10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute period. To facilitate
this, users and installers must set values of between 1 and 10 into the
programming functions F56, F66, F76 and F86.

Function F57 SMS/Paging Service Password

The paging service in function F15 may require a password. The password can only be entered
via the RS232 port using Hyper Terminal. See section ‘Programming using RS232’ in ‘Application

Notes’.



APPLICATION NOTES

Using Outputs

Each input can be used as a grounding Output. To toggle an Output you must call the EDAC 400­02 when it is in idle mode, i.e. all inputs have been cancelled or there are no active inputs. Once
the EDAC 400-02 has answered, the idle message is spoken twice. Enter Output mode by
pressing the PIN while the Site message is being played.

The Output mode message will speak along with each Output message (either off or on). The
Output on message is spoken when the Output is grounded.

Pressing 1, 2, 3, or 4 toggles the state of Outputs 1, 2, 3 or 4 respectively. Output 1 is Input

4 and uses Input 4’s voice message as an on message. Outputs 4, 3, 2, 1 are designated Input 1,

2, 3 and 4 respectively. Please refer to the table below to see which Outputs correspond to which
inputs.

Input 1

Output 4

Input 2

Output 3

Input 3

Output 2

Input 4

Output 1

If no key press is detected for 15 seconds the EDAC 400-02 will terminate the call.

# will also terminate the call.

The EDAC 400-02 will only react to Outputs that have been enabled (see function F08).
Functions F05 Answer Incoming Calls When all Inputs are Cancelled, F06 Answer Incoming Calls
When no Inputs active, and function F08 Outputs, must be configured appropriately.

NOTE: All Outputs return to off when the power is removed.

Using Paging

Numeric Pager

The most basic form of paging is to use a numeric pager. This type of pager can only display
numbers or codes. When making an alarm notification call to a numeric pager you must enter the
RIC code of the pager into a suitable phone number slot (see function F11), and select a call

type. The call type will ether be Call Type 8 (timed call using function F54) or Call Type # (call
progress detection).

Please Note: If you are using a PABX, you will need to add the access code for an outside

line and a pause.

 Timed Call Using F54 Pager Delay time
This is the time from dialling the number to when the paging network answers the call.

The EDAC 400-02 sends the DTMF pager message at this point. You can determine
this time by dialling the pager network with a telephone and measuring the period
from dialling the number until the call is answered.

 F02 Call Progress Detection

When using this setting, the dialler will attempt to detect the status of the call and

send the pager message in F10 at the appropriate time. It is more common to use
Timed Call using function F54 (Pager Delay Time).

When using the EDAC 400-02 with a pager, you will need to set a wait time between

calls (function F53) so that you can call into the EDAC 400-02 to cancel the alarm,
stopping further calls from being made.

Use function F04 to set the number of rings before answer for an incoming call when

any input is active. Default is four rings before auto answer.

Use function F03 to set cancellation options (Cancel by any key or PIN) for an

incoming call to the EDAC 400-02. Default is Cancel by any key.

Alpha-Numeric pager/Text messaging (SMS)

One of the options for making calls is to make the calls via an SMS/paging host computer.
SMS/paging is only configurable on the EDAC 400-02 using Hyper Terminal. See ‘Programming
using RS232’ in the ‘Application Notes’ section.

The EDAC 400-02 uses standard TAP protocol to connect and send SMS/Alphanumeric pages to
the host network. The EDAC 400-02 does not use ETAP or Pacnet.

If you are going to use SMS messaging to a cell phone, you may also need to subscribe to an
additional service for Telecom NZ 027 mobiles called "Mobile Note Direct". This service enables
the individual cell phone to receive SMS text messages from the TAP host. If you are in New
Zealand and have a GSM or ‘021’ cell phone you will need to talk to the manufacture for up-to­date information on where to go to arrange access to a TAP host.

Notice to Australian Users: The EDAC 400-02 is not compatible with SMS via TAP
services in Australia. The 400-02 cannot send SMS messages to cellular phones in
Australia.

You should contact your Telecommunications service provider regarding host access numbers,
IDs, passwords and subscriptions.

NOTE: Some Paging networks charge an access fee.

Page 34 of 40

 Alpha-Numeric Pager RIC codes

When making an alarm notification call to an Alpha-Numeric pager you must enter the
RIC code of the pager into a suitable phone number slot (see function F11), followed

by #9 (call type 9 for SMS/Alphanumeric paging).

With Alpha-Numeric paging (call type 9) only the pager number is entered. Do not
enter the access code. For example, pager RIC 026-1234-567 is entered as 1234567.

If you are using a PABX, you do not need to add an access code for an outside line
and a pause. This is done when the host service number is dialled, see below.

 Entering cell phone numbers for SMS/Text messaging

If you want to use SMS, you will enter a cell phone number into a suitable phone
number slot (See function F11) followed by #9.

If you are using a PABX, you do not need to add an access code for an outside line
and a pause. This is done when the host service number is dialled, see below.

The following table provides the information required for use in New Zealand with
Telecom 025/027 cell phones.

Cell phones starting with:

027….

Enter as is, including 027

025…Plus 7 digit number

5301……drop off 1st digit of 7 digit number

025…Plus 6 digit number

5300…rest of 6 digit number

 Setting up the SMS/Paging host

To call the SMS/paging host you need to enter the host telephone number (see
function F15). The host network requires a service ID (function F58) and password
(function F57). Most SMS/paging host networks use the same ID and password as the
default that is used in the EDAC 400-02.

The table below gives the information required for use in New Zealand.

Points to Note:

 When using the EDAC 400-02 with a Alpha-Numeric pager or SMS, you will need to

set a wait time between calls (function F53) so that you can call into the EDAC 400-02
to cancel the alarm, stopping further calls from being made.

 Use function F04 to set the number of rings before answer for an incoming call when

any input is active. Default is four rings before auto answer.

 Use function F03 to set cancellation options (Cancel by any key or PIN) for an

incoming call to the EDAC 400-02. Default is Cancel by any key.

 If the call to the host network is not successful the call is not counted by the call

counter. The EDAC 400-02 will then move to the next number in the list.

Modem Communications

The EDAC 400-02 has a 2400-baud V22bis modem, which can be used to communicate with
external devices e.g. a data-logger or PLC plugged into the RS232 connector. A call to the
EDAC 400-02 can be established with a PC using HyperTerminal, a Windows application shipped

with all versions of Windows. When the call is made using ATDT<phone number>,,,,## the
EDAC 400-02 will go into through mode allowing direct RS232 communications between the PC

and the external device connected to the EDAC 400-02.

Programming Using RS232

Using HyperTerminal, a Windows application shipped with all versions of Windows, you can
configure the EDAC 400-02 via its RS232 connector. This method is used if you require alpha­numeric pager messages to be programmed.

Connect the EDAC 400-02 to a free serial port on a PC using a straight through serial cable. Start
the HyperTerminal application, select the appropriate com port and click O.K. Configure with the
following settings.

Bit per second 1200
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow Control None

For programming through the RS232 interface, use the instructions as described in this manual
but replace some of the symbols as follows:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

“I’ve plugged the EDAC 400-02 in but nothing happens.”

Check that the power supply you are using is 10-30V direct current (DC). Also check that
the polarity of the supply is correct at the terminals of the EDAC 400-02. Check also for
shorts and fractures in the cable supplying the power to the EDAC 400-02. A good
indication is to connect a multimeter set to the DC volts range across the + and – terminals
on the EDAC 400-02 to check that the correct input voltage is present. Also check that the
onboard supply fuses are intact. These fuses are in place to protect the unit from power
surges, short circuits and incorrect supply voltage polarity.

WARNING: Fit only 500mA fuses to the EDAC 400-02 as fitting anything else
could cause major damage to the unit and will void your warranty.

“The EDAC 400-02 will trigger but doesn’t make a call. What’s going wrong?”

The most likely cause is that the EDAC 400-02 is not seeing dial tone. Listen to the speaker
when the EDAC 400-02 is attempting to dial. If you cannot hear the dial tone then, neither
can the EDAC 400-02. Check that you are using the line cord supplied with the product to
connect the product to the wall socket, and that it is correctly connected at both ends.

When using a PABX system, problems can be encountered when getting the EDAC 400-02
to dial an outside line. Usually this occurs when the outside line number (e.g. 1 or 9) is
dialled and the EDAC 400-02 begins dialling the phone number before the PABX can
produce the outside line dial tone. This results in the first few numbers being missed by the
PABX. This problem can be overcome by putting more pauses between the outside line
number and the phone number to be dialled (see function F11 to F14 Programming Your
Telephone/Pager/SMS Numbers).

“The EDAC 400-02 calls out O.K. but I don’t get the call.”

Check that the phone numbers programmed into the EDAC 400-02 are the ones that you
want it to call (see function F11 to F14 Programming Your Telephone/Pager/SMS
Numbers). Also check that the call type is correct i.e. you have set the EDAC 400-02 to call
a telephone or a pager.

“The EDAC 400-02 is set up to call my cell phone. If I’m out of range or my phone is
switched off will I get charged for all the calls the EDAC 400-02 makes but I don’t get?”

Yes you will. Care is advised when configuring the EDAC 400-02 to call a cell phone. It is
strongly advised to put a limit on the number of calls the EDAC 400-02 can make. Use
function F56 Call Counters, so that if your cell phone is out of range or switched off, the
EDAC 400-02 won’t make continuous calls, which you will get charged for.

“The EDAC 400-02 won’t let me record any voice messages, or enter any new
programming commands, why not?”

The EDAC 400-02 has two jumpers on the circuit board, which can be positioned to stop

accidental changes being made to the unit’s configuration and voice messages. If the

memory or voice protection jumpers (J702 and J602) are in the protect position, any new
parameters you enter, such as phone numbers, will not be stored. This error can be easily
detected by watching the numbers being played back for verification. The character display
will either show an ‘E’ for empty, or the previous numbers will be displayed rather than the
newly entered ones. See Jumper Settings in the Specifications section of the manual for
information on jumper settings.

“The EDAC 400-02 is constantly making calls, even when there is no alarm condition.
What’s going wrong?”

Check that the setting in function F52 Physical Input Trigger Configuration is set correctly
for the type of input trigger you are using. Remember that normally open means the EDAC
400-02 will trigger when the contact closes and that normally closed means that the EDAC
400-02 will trigger when the contact is opened. Also check the condition of the input
switches/sensors and ensure they are operating correctly.

COMPLIANCE NOTES

NOTICE TO AUSTRALIAN USERS

The ACA requires all equipment to comply with the automatic redialling rate and number limits as
stated in its Technical Standards. An automatic redial is two or more call attempts to the same
telephone number, which are not initiated by a person.

The automatic redialling limits required by the ACA are:

1. BUSY tone detection enabled – not more than 10 calls to the same number for any
trigger occurrence until a space of 30 minutes has elapsed.

2. BUSY signal detection disabled – not more than three calls to the same number for
any trigger occurrence until a space of 30 minutes has elapsed.

3. The time between calls to the same number should not be set to less than 30
seconds.

4. If the dial tone detect is disabled (function F02 Call Progress) then the device must
not make more than three call attempts to the same number (see function F56 Call
Counter).

You must ensure that your equipment settings do not exceed the above limits. Failure to set the

GLOSSARY

Acknowledged or cancelled

When the EDAC 400-02 is active (in alarm state) the unit will make alarm notification calls. When
these active trigger states (inputs) have all been acknowledged the EDAC 400-02 is said to be in
a cancelled state. This means that the EDAC 400-02 will not make any further calls. The input is
still present however and it must be removed in order to re-trigger the EDAC 400-02.

Active
The EDAC 400-02 is active when an input has been triggered. This will cause the unit to make
alarm notification calls.

Alpha-Numeric pager
This is a pager that can display messages with words in them e.g. ‘Boiler 2 alarm’.

Cancelled or acknowledged

When the EDAC 400-02 is active (i.e an input has been triggered) the unit will make alarm
notification calls. Once these inputs have all been acknowledged the EDAC 400-02 is said to be
in a cancelled state. This means that the EDAC 400-02 will not make any further calls. The input
is still present however and it must be removed in order to re-trigger the EDAC 400-02. Any new
trigger on a different alarm input will initiate a new alarm notification call sequence.

Cleared or idle

The input is cleared when it no longer meets the input criterion e.g. trigger on close contact and
the contact is open. The EDAC 400-02 is idle when all inputs are clear (i.e. no inputs present).

Idle
When the EDAC 400-02 is not acting on any input it is said to be idle, normal or in RUN mode.

Input
The input is the physical event that triggers the EDAC 400-02 to make alarm notification calls.
Outputs control external devices whereas inputs trigger the EDAC 400-02.

Latching
Once triggered, the input will remain in the alarmed state until acknowledged by the operator,
regardless of the physical input going back to its normal state.

Normally Closed (N.C)

Opening the connection between the input and Gnd will trigger the dialler.

Normally Open (N.O)

Connecting the input to Gnd will Close the connection, and trigger the dialler.
Numeric Pager

Pager that can only display numbers or codes
Output

The EDAC 400-02 has four Outputs. The four inputs can be changed to be Outputs and therefore
allow control of external devices by the EDAC 400-02. Moving jumpers on the EDAC 400-02 and
setting function F08 allows an input to act as an Output. When the EDAC 400-02 is in idle mode
and a call into the EDAC 400-02 is made, the EDAC 400-02 can be placed in Output mode where
the current Output states are reported and can be toggled.

Parameter

A value that must be entered by the user, such as a PIN number or phone number.
SMS

Short Message service, used for sending text messages to cell phones
Trigger

When the input criterion is exceeded (e.g. trigger on close contact) the EDAC 400-02 is triggered
and will proceed to make calls until the EDAC 400-02 is either cancelled or cleared.
