General Overview
Some EAS decoder/encoders have no installed or available provision for local
access to the emergency alert system in place in their area.
To provide local access for these systems, the 988 offers a means to activate
the decoder for selected FIPS areas with a predefined alarm message display
and allows the caller to record a message to be played to the telephone caller
upon answering.

988.
The 988 Setup Software
The 988 software will setup the unit via the USB (Programming) port. It allows the
programmer to set up the time in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), Number of Rings
to Answer, Access Code, Station ID, Duration, Originator, Event Type, and up to 9
FIPS codes.

in the instrument’s front panel (refer to picture on page 17.) In a quiet area and
speaking in a normal tone of voice with your mouth about 6 or 8 inches from the
microphone on the PC board, enter the message. Please leave a silent period for
4 or 5 seconds after speaking to allow a time for entering the access code, before
releasing the record butt on. When the unit answers the call this message will
repeat until the access code is entered. Note: If the correct access code is not
entered in 60 seconds, the 988 will automatically hang up.

Installation
Connect the telephone cable to the RJ-11 plug, two wires for balanced audio from
the screw terminals marked AFSK/AUDIO to the balanced input of the
encoder/decoder audio input, and the power supply wires to the + and – screw
terminals marked for power. The white wire is the + wire.
If your audio input is unbalanced, connect a wire to the AFSK/AUDIO terminal
nearest to the power terminals, and connect this wire to the audio input on your
encoder/decoder. Then connect a wire from the terminal marked GND nearest to
the power terminals, and connect this to the ground on your encoder/decoder.
Plug in the power supply.
Make sure that your encoder/decoder has been set to accept an audio input from
the terminals you have wired it to, and is configured to accept signals from this
input as if they were from a separate radio receiver.
Note: During setup, you may want to disable the output from the encoder/decoder
so that no alarms are displayed through the cable system.
15
Operation
Monroe Model 988 interfaces a two-wire (POTS) telephone service with control
switching and audio control signals to an FCC approved encoder/decoder.
Upon answering, the unit begins playing back the message stored by the operator,
and looks for a series of DTMF tones corresponding to the three-digit access code.
After picking up the telephone line, if no activity is detected for a period of 1
minute, the unit disconnects the telephone line. If the user does not enter the
correct access code within a period of 1 minute, the unit will disconnect the
telephone line.
Once the telephone caller enters the three-digit access code, the unit will cease
playing the message and proceed to the next stage of operation.
Additionally, after the access code has been entered, two separate relays will
actuate. Contacts are available on the screw terminals of the connector as Switch
1 and Switch 2.
The Caller must select the FIPS code(s) to be sent out with this alert.
To select individual FIPS codes (previously stored in the 988) type their stored
number Ex. 1,2,3, followed by the # key to accept. If an incorrect number is
entered three beeps will be heard and the user must start the selection over. The
user has three tries to enter correct values or the unit will disconnect. To send all
of the stored FIPS codes, simply press the # key.
After a tone, approximately 10 seconds long, speak the audio message you wish to
broadcast with the local alert.
When done, press the # key or hang up the telephone.
