+++

---

In RUN mode, the OMA-P1104 is able to receive incoming calls and to automatically dial out in the event of an alarm on one of the monitored conditions. To enter STANDBY mode, press RUN/STANDBY.

As soon as the OMA-P1104 enters STANDBY mode, it responds with “Have a good day.” The red light immediately goes out and then resumes with a blink every few seconds. While in STANDBY mode, all functions are disabled, but

Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual

programmed memory is preserved. Upon exiting STANDBY mode, any currently existing alert conditions will be announced.

NOTE

STANDBY mode is not equivalent to “power off ”—an electrical source, such as the 120 VAC, or the battery backup, continues to provide full power to the unit. If the unit is placed in STANDBY mode, unplugged from the 120 VAC outlet, and placed in storage, the batteries will continue to power the OMA-P1104, discharging until they fail. Consequently, batteries should always be removed from the unit following disconnection from any 120 VAC outlet, prior to storage.

Press the RUN/STANDBY key again to return to RUN mode.

RUN

Figure 2-4. Installing the Telephone Line

On the back of the OMA-P1104 is a female telephone jack. This is provided so that a telephone or other answering device may be used on the same line as the unit. It is not necessary to hook up a telephone for the OMA-P1104 to operate.

2.8 The Microphone

The OMA-P1104 is provided with a built-in microphone which is used to monitor high sound levels produced near the installation site. The sensitivity of the microphone is configurable and will detect a continuous as well as a beeping alarm.

Other programming options that apply to the microphone include setting the length of time before a high sound causes an

Female Telephone Jack (connect telephone here)

Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual

alarm.

If this sound level exists for 8 consecutive seconds (default) or for the programmed length of time, the OMA-P1104 will dial out with an alarm message.

NOTE

The proximity of the audible alarm to the microphone is extremely important. Normally, the OMA-P1104 and the audible alarm must be in the same room. The maximum distance can vary considerably depending on the alarm, the acoustics, and the size of the room.

During an alarm dial-out, the microphone allows four-second intervals to listen-in to sounds at the OMA-P1104’s location.

When calling for a Status Report, the microphone permits listening to on-site sounds for a programmed time interval.

2.9 Alert Inputs

The OMA-P1104 can monitor up to 4 inputs (represented by the numbered terminal screws shown in Figure 2-5, below).

2341

GND GND GNDGND

Figure 2-5. Alert Inputs

Inputs are configured as either dry contact or temperature. An input configured as dry contact can be used with any normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) device.

“Open” refers to an opened circuit path; if conditions cause the circuit to close, an alert condition occurs. “Closed” refers to a continuous circuit path; if a closed circuit is opened, an alert condition occurs. The OMA-P1104 determines the way inputs are configured by the type of sensor connected to each alert input (refer to Chapter 5, Section 5.1).

An input configured as “temperature” is designed to evaluate a range of settings. The OMA-P1104 will read the temperature at the sensor’s location and compare that value to programmed high and low temperature limits. Temperature inputs must be used with Phonetics Remote Temperature Sensor.

NOTE

Before wiring, it is advisable to disable the inputs to prevent accidentally tripping an alarm. See Chapter 5, Section 5.2.

2.10 Installing the Sensor

After you have selected the sensor, loosen the screw of the alert input and its corresponding ground. Two wire leads are used to connect any monitoring sensor. Fasten one lead to the numbered screw and the other lead to GND. Tighten both screws. If the input was not disabled, the OMA-P1104 may recite its “Alert Condition Exists” message as you connect the sensor. If it does, just press any key to stop it. Re-enable the input after wiring. Refer to Figures 2-6 and 2-7 for connecting a sensor to an alert input.

Chapter 2: Installation

Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual

Figure 2-7. Two Sensors Wired to Adjacent Inputs

Do not use sensors, switches, or relays that supply any voltage or current to the OMAP1104. Be aware of proximity to other electrical wires or components when placing wires that lead from the sensors to the unit. Avoid running the wires near electrical devices that use high voltage or current, such as motors, heavy machinery, etc. This voltage may be inductively coupled into the sensor wiring and could result in damage to the the OMA-P1104’s circuitry. Try to place wires at least 6 inches from other electrical wiring or devices.

2.11 Multiple Sensors

The OMA-P1104 may have more than one sensor connected to the same alert input, as long as the normal condition for each sensor on the same alert input is identical (either all N.O. or all N.C.). However, only one remote temperature sensor can be used on each input.

Chapter 2: Installation

NOTE

When wiring several normally closed sensors on one input, they must be connected in series. Connect one lead from the first sensor to the numbered screw of the alert input. Next, take the other lead from the first sensor and connect it to one lead from the next sensor. Continue connecting sensors end-to-end until you have connected all of your sensors. Take the second lead from the last sensor and connect it to the ground screw on the OMA-P1104. See Figure 2-8. Multiple N.C. sensors are typically magnetic reed switches to monitor the security of windows and doors.

2.13 Disconnecting the OMA-P1104 for Storage or Seasonal Use.

If you plan to employ the OMA-P1104 as a seasonal “watchdog” for a few months during the year, you m ust disconnect

all wires fr om the unit completel y to a void dama g e to the circuitr y when the unit is not in use . If the unit is unplugged

but left in place with all the sensors still connected, the wires act as antennae that draw in any stray “electrical noise” from such devices as fans, blowers, microwaves, etc.

Additionally, it is important to remove the batteries, or they will discharge until they fail.

Preserve your OMA-P1104 during the off-season, or when not in use:

• Remove the sensor wires at the screw terminals

Chapter 3: Quick Start

3.4 Summary of the Alarm Dial-Out Process

Action—Response

1. THE OMA-P1104 DETECTS AN ALERT CONDITION

An alert condition is not the same as a valid alarm—the condition must continue for the programmed time period, or Recognition Time, before it is recognized as a valid alarm.

2. A VALID ALARM IS CONFIRMED

An audible, on-site alarm message begins and continues until the alarm is acknowledged. (If the Mute feature is turned on, there is no on-site message.) Call Delay is activated.

3. DIAL-OUT BEGINS

Dial-out begins by calling telephone number 1 to report an alarm. If there is no acknowledgment, the OMA-P1104 waits the programmed Intercall Time before dialing subsequent telephone numbers. Dial-out continues in this manner, cycling through the remaining telephone numbers, for the programmed Max Calls.

4. THE ALARM IS ACKNOWLEDGED

When the alarm is acknowledged, the dial-out process is cancelled and the audible, on-site alarm message stops.

Programmable Feature

• Recognition Time

This is the programmed waiting period to determine if an alert condition has persisted long enough to be considered a valid alarm. If the sensor returns to normal within recognition time, then no alarm will occur.

• Call Delay

This is the programmed waiting period, before the first telephone number is called, to report an alarm.

• Intercall Time

This is the programmed waiting period, in between sequential dialing of telephone numbers, to report an alarm.

• Max Calls

This is the total number of telephone calls that will be dialed in response to any valid alarm. Telephone numbers are dialed sequentially, and continue to cycle until the maximum number of calls is reached. If no acknowledgment occurs, then at the completion of Max Calls, all alarms are automatically acknowledged.

4.1 The Unit ID Number

The Unit ID Number is the identification number of the OMA-P1104. This number may be the same as the telephone number where the unit is installed, or it may be designated using any number that best suits your application.

The purpose of the Unit ID Number is to immediately provide the source of any alarm, especially when using multiple OMA-P1104 units in a complex monitoring system. When the OMA-P1104 is called from a remote location, it always begins its message with the identification number:

“Hello, this is telephone number (Unit ID Number).”

4.6.2 Using the TAD Feature

1. Make sure the TAD feature is enabled on the OMA-

P1104. (The default setting is disabled, so you must enable it first.)

2. Determine the number of rings your telephone answering

device uses to answer the telephone. (Most answering devices require 4 rings; others are selectable.)

3. On the OMA-P1104, program Rings Until Answer to a

greater number than the number of rings set on your answering machine.

Example:

Telephone answering device, rings = 4 OMA-P1104, Rings Until Answer = 6

Using the procedure just outlined, all incoming calls will be answered by the telephone answering device, allowing it to

Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual

operate normally. With the programming just accomplished, the OMA-P1104 can be accessed remotely, by telephone, to obtain the Status Report.

1. Dial the telephone number of the OMA-P1104.

2. Let the telephone ring once and then hang up.

3. Wait approximately ten seconds

4. Call the OMA-P1104 back. It will answer the telephone on the first ring.

Explanation: The pattern of one ring, followed by a second call (within 30 seconds), signals the OMA-P1104 to answer your incoming call, excluding the telephone answering device.

NOTE

Special Case: If the OMA-P1104 shares the same line with a telephone answering device, and during certain time periods, frequent, incoming calls are expected on that line, then you may want to temporarily disable the TAD feature. If you leave the TAD enabled, it will not adversely affect normal operation, but if two outside telephone calls are received within the same 30-second time window, the OMA-P1104 will interpret this pattern as a signal to answer the telephone. If this occurs, press any key on the OMA-P1104 to hang up.

4.6.3 No TAD In Use

If a telephone answering device is not used on the same telephone line as the OMA-P1104, make sure that the TAD feature is disabled, or turned off. Only Rings Until Answer programming will determine how incoming calls are answered. For example, if you program Rings Until Answer to 3, incoming calls will be answered in 3 rings.

4.7 Listen-in Time

The Listen-in Time is the amount of time you can listen to sounds from the OMA-P1104’s built-in microphone at its installation site. When you call in for a Status Report, the

Chapter 4: Communications Programming

OMA-P1104 announces Listen-in Time at the end of its first round of status readings, saying, “Listen to the sound level for (programmed time entered).” The programmable range is from 0 to 255 seconds (or up to 4.17 minutes). The default value is 15 seconds.

NOTE

The microphone is also used to monitor high sound level. See Chapter 5, Section 5.10 through Section 5.11.1.

4.8 Call Delay

Call Delay is the programmed length of time the OMA-P1104 waits, following detection of an alarm, before it begins the dialout sequence. This applies only to the first call. (Delay time between calls is also programmable: refer to Intercall Time, Section 4-11.)

The purpose for Call Delay is to allow time for personnel at the OMA-P1104’s installation site to respond to and cancel an alarm before dial-out begins. During this time, the OMA-P1104 will audibly repeat its “alert condition” message (unless the Local Voice Mute feature has been activated—refer to Section

4.9). The default for Call Delay is 30 seconds. Call Delay can be programmed from 0 seconds to 60 minutes (1 hour).

Intercall Time is activated only after alarm dial-out to the first telephone number fails to be acknowledged. This period can be programmed from 10 seconds to 60 minutes. The default intercall time is 1 minute.

If an incoming telephone call is made to the OMA-P1104 during Intercall Time (in between its dialing of subsequent telephone numbers to report an alarm), it will answer the incoming call and immediately report any existing alarms. The manner in which the incoming call is answered depends upon whether or not TAD is enabled or disabled:

• If TAD (Telephone Answering Device) is enabled,

Rings Until Answer will be 1.

• If TAD is disabled, Rings Until Answer will be 10.

4.12 Maximum Number of Calls (Max Calls)

The Max Calls feature controls the total number of repeated calling attempts by the OMA-P1104 in the event of an alarm. When an alarm occurs, the dial-out process begins, and continues to cycle through your programmed telephone

Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual

numbers until a maximum number of calls is reached. The Max Calls setting regulates the number of calls that will be made as a result of any alarms; if more than one alarm is detected at once, or if a second alarm occurs during dial-out on the first alarm, the Max Calls setting will start the calling process from zero, until the programmed number of calling attempts are completed.

The default setting for Max Calls is 16, but it may be programmed from 0 to 255 calls. Max Calls is cancelled when an alarm is acknowledged. If the maximum number of calls is completed and no alarm acknowledgement has occurred, the OMA-P1104 will automatically acknowledge any alarm and stop the dial-out.

NOTE

If only one telephone number is programmed, the OMA-P1104 will dial out a maximum of 15 times to report an alarm.

Chapter 5: Alarm Programming

This chapter explains the alarm programming and monitoring capabilities of the OMA-P1104, with specific instructions for the following features:

• Configure inputs as dry contact or temperature

• Enable/disable inputs

• Program alarm Recognition Time for each input

• Program high and low temperature limits

• Disable alarm response to high or low temperature

• Program temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius scale

• Calibrate temperature

• Obtain current temperature

• Program AC power-failure Recognition Time

• Enable/disable AC power monitoring

• Program sound level sensitivity

• Program high sound Recognition Time

• Disable alarm response to high sound

• Use Exit Delay via Status Report

5.1 Input Configuration

In preparing the OMA-P1104 to sense an alert condition, the inputs must be configured as dry contact (either open or closed) or as temperature inputs. The default setting for input 1 is temperature; for inputs 2-4, the default is dry contact and open. To configure input normality, sensors are first wired to the terminal strip at the back of the unit. (Refer to Chapter 2, Section 2.9–2.12, for an explanation on wiring inputs.)

The configuration process directs the OMA-P1104 to initialize the 4 inputs and establish normal settings. Any change in the status of an input (for example, from a normally open contact to a suddenly closed contact) is recognized as an alert condi- tion. In the case of a temperature input, an alert condition is recognized when established temperature limits are exceeded.

Before starting keyboard commands to configure input normality on the OMA-P1104, it is very important to

check that the sensors you have wired to the unit are set in their normal, non-alarm positions.

NOTE

Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual

For example, if a magnetic reed switch (a normally-closed sensor used to detect unauthorized entry) has been wired to the OMA-P1104, make sure that the door or window to be monitored is shut before configuring the input. If a motion-detector is wired to the unit, it is advisable to block all sources of motion from the sensor before and during configuration.

the number of the input and says“OK.”

• If the input is normally closed, the OMA-P1104 recites

the number of the input, followed by a “beep” and“OK.”

Chapter 5: Alarm Programming

• If the input is configured as temperature, the OMA-P1104 recites the number of the input, followed by “Temperature.”

5.1.2 Verifying Input Configuration

Input configuration can be verified when interrogating the OMA-P1104 for a complete Status Report. Refer to Chapter 6 for a more detailed description of the Status Report.

5.2 Enable/Disable Inputs

This function allows you to enable or disable an input’s response to an alert condition. An enabled input will respond to an alert condition and allow dial-out. A disabled input will cause dial-out to be suppressed, but any existing alert conditions will be revealed during the Status Report. Enable/disable programming is useful during wiring of inputs (see Chapter 2) or when a condition needs to be monitored, but is not critical enough to be programmed for dial-out reporting. It is important to verify input status after performing any task that requires disabling. The default setting for all inputs is enabled (ON). If an alert condition exists when inputs are re-enabled, Recognition Time will restart—refer to Section 5.3.

5.2.1 Changing Enabled/Disabled Input Status

1. Press SENSOR ON/OFF.

CONFIGURE

The OMA-P1104 audibly recites the current status of every input. In a Status Report, each input is first identified by its input number, followed by a report that specifies parameters currently affecting that input. If an input is disabled, the word

“Off” immediately follows the number recited for that input.

For example, input 3 is configured as a normally open, dry contact input. During the Status Report:

• If disabled, the OMA-P1104 recites:

“Number 3—Off—OK,” for input 3.

• If enabled, the OMA-P1104 recites:

“Number 3—OK,” for input 3.

In another example, input 2 is configured as a temperature input. The current temperature is 76 degrees. During a Status Report:

• If disabled, the OMA-P1104 recites “Number 2—Off—

76 degrees—OK”.

• If enabled, the OMA-P1104 recites “Number 2—

76 degrees—OK”.

5.3 Input Recognition Time

The Input Recognition Time is the length of time an alert condition must be present before a valid alarm exists and dialout is activated. This time period is programmable, from 0 minutes, 0 seconds (for immediate response) up to a period of 272 minutes, 0 seconds. If an alert condition begins and then clears within the established Recognition Time, no dial-out will occur. When an alert condition continues beyond the

5.9 AC Power Failure Recognition Time

The AC Power Failure Recognition Time is the length of time that AC electric power is off before a valid alarm is recognized and dial-out begins. The default setting is 5 minutes, 0 seconds, but is programmable from 0 seconds to a maximum of 272 minutes.

When AC power failure occurs, and throughout the programmed Recognition Time, the OMA-P1104 steadily repeats the message, “the electricity is off,” at the unit’s installation site. There is no Call Delay programming available for AC power failure. Immediately following Recognition Time, the OMAP1104 begins the dial-out process to report power failure.

To cancel the power-failure message locally at the keypad (during or after Recognition Time) press any key on the OMA-P1104 keypad. This action also cancels the dial-out process. The AC power failure alarm may also be cancelled remotely, by telephone acknowledgment (see Chapter 6, Section 6.1).

5.12 Exit Delay

When tripping an alarm is unavoidable, yet a true alert condition has not actually occurred, the alarm response, including dial-out, can be temporarily suppressed.

The OMA-P1104 is able to suppress and then reset its dial-out function automatically through use of the Status Report. This is especially convenient when an alert condition is created upon exiting a monitored door, and there is no way to cancel from the local keypad.

Example: You are planning to exit through a monitored door. Prior to exiting, you initiate a Status Report recitation at the OMA-P1104 keypad by pressing WHAT IS, followed by STATUS, (key sequence shown below). This allows you approximately 30 seconds to exit without activating the OMA-P1104’s programmed response to an alarm. At the conclusion of the status report, normal alarm response is reactivated.

Chapter 6: Acknowledgment,

Status Report, and Remote Access

In addition to communication and alarm monitoring capabilities, the OMA-P1104 will also respond to your instructions and provide you with access to information on monitored conditions at all times.

By issuing commands to the unit, either at the installation site or over standard telephone lines, the following features may be activated:

• Acknowledgment of existing alarms

• The Status Report on all monitored conditions.

6.1 Alarm Acknowledgment

When the OMA-P1104 dials out with an alarm message, it will request acknowledgment before hanging up. Acknowledgment indicates to the unit that the alarm message has been received. Upon acknowledgment, the OMA-P1104 will cancel the dialout sequence.

There are three ways* that an alarm is acknowledged directly:

• Local Acknowledgment

•Touch-Tone

• Callback Acknowledgment

* A fourth method of alarm acknowledgment is indirect. Refer to Max Calls, Chapter 4, Section 4.12 for an example of automatic alarm acknowledgment.

Acknowledgment

6.1.1 Local Acknowledgment

To acknowledge an alarm locally (directly at the installation site of the OMA-P1104), press any key.

6.1.2 Touch-Tone

This method of remote alarm acknowledgment works with a Touch-ToneTM telephone.

Acknowledgment

Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual

Example: You receive a call from the OMA-P1104, reporting that an alarm exists. The message concludes: “Indicate you have received warning message.” Now, or at any time during this call, you may acknowledge the alarm with the code “555” if you are using a Touch-ToneTM telephone.

•To enter “555,” press the number (5) key on the Touch-

ToneTM phone keypad three times. The OMA-P1104 will respond: * “Warning message received by telephone number (last number dialed).” The OMA-P1104 will hang up and the dial-out sequence, including any further response to the alarm, will be cancelled.

• If you enter the wrong code or do not enter it within

10 seconds following the conclusion of the message, the OMA-P1104 will respond: “Dial telephone number

(the programmed unit phone number) within (Intercall Time).” Then, the OMA-P1104 will hang up. The alarm

is still not acknowledged until you call back. You have a period equal to the programmed Intercall Time to call the unit back2( 9dntero(y ackno138.4(wledge the alar)-19.5.

1. Press WHAT IS.

WHAT

2. Press STATUS.

STATUS

CONFIGURE

Sections 6.2.1, 6.2.2, and 6.2.3 demonstrate two different Status Report recitations. The Status Report starts with:

“Hello. This is telephone number 555-1234 (or the programmed ID).”

“The time is 12:15 PM (or the current time).”

The OMA-P1104 proceeds with a separate report for each input. Each input identifies itself by reciting the input number.

Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual

6.2.1 Example: Status Report, No Alarms

Inputs 2, 3, and 4 are configured as dry contact and input 1 is configured as temperature. No alarms exist. The Status Report begins by saying, “Hello, this is telephone number 555-1234; the time is 12:15 PM.” Following this introduction, the report continues:

“Number 1, 74 degrees, OK.”

“Number 2, OK.”

“Number 3, OK.”

“Number 4, OK.”

“The electricity is ON.” This refers to AC power.

“Battery condition, OK.” Other responses: “Battery condition low” or “Replace batteries.” (Refer to Section 6.2.4 for

additional information regarding battery condition.)

“Sound level, OK.”

“Listen to the sound level for 10 seconds.” In this case, the

programmed Listen-in Time is set at 10 seconds. (This feature is not available when obtaining the Status Report on-site, directly at the keypad.)

The Status Report repeats once more and the OMA-P1104 concludes the call, saying: “Have a good day.” (The Status Report will not repeat if obtained at the keypad; “Have a good day,” is also not recited.)

The phrase “no number” at the end of a Status Report indicates that no dial-out phone numbers have been programmed.

Chapter 6: Acknowledgment, Status Report, and Remote Access

6.2.2 Example: Status Report, Existing Alarms

Inputs 2, 3,and 4 are configured as dry contact and input 1 is configured as temperature. An emergency situation is at hand: a fire in a greenhouse has tripped a smoke alarm and electrical power has been disrupted. In addition to high sound and AC power alarms, separate alarms exist on inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4. You happen to call in for the Status Report, which begins with,

“Hello, this is telephone number 555-1234; the time is 12:15 PM.” Following this introduction, the report continues:

“Number 1, 110 degrees, HIGH.”

“Number 2, EXISTS.”

“Number 3, EXISTS.”

“Number 4, EXISTS.”

“The electricity is OFF.”

“Battery condition, OK.”

“Sound level, HIGH.”

“Warning message received by ...(last telephone number dialed*).”

“Listen to the sound level for 10 seconds.”

The Status Report repeats once more and the OMA-P1104 concludes the call, saying: “Have a good day.”

* The “last telephone number dialed” refers to any one of the programmed, dial-out telephone numbers through which the OMA-P1104 was able to receive alarm acknowledgment, prior to your call for a Status Report; this could also refer to the OMA-P1104’s I.D. Number (identification number), if the alarms are acknowledged at the keypad by someone present at the site.

Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual

6.2.3 Example: Status Report, Disabled Inputs

If an input is disabled, the dial-out feature for that input is deactivated, but all other programmed parameters remain in effect. In the example below, all 4 inputs are disabled, although inputs 1 and 3 are detecting alarms. AC power and Sound Level is also disabled for dial-out. (Note that to indicate disabled status, only AC power will return two audible “beeps,” rather than the word “OFF.”) When you call the OMA-P1104 for a Status Report, you hear the following:

“Hello, this is telephone number 555-1234.

“The time is 12:15 PM.”

“Number 1, OFF, 96 degrees, HIGH.”

“Number 2, OFF, 74 degrees, OK.”

“Number 3, OFF, EXISTS.”

“Number 4, OFF, OK.”

“The electricity is (beep, beep), ON.” If the electricity is off,

or the AC adaptor is disconnected, you will hear:

“The electricity is (beep, beep), OFF.”

“Battery condition, OK.”

“Sound level, OFF, OK.” If the sound level is high you will hear: “Sound level, OFF, HIGH.”

“Listen to the sound level for 10 seconds.”

The Status Report repeats once more and the OMA-P1104 concludes the call, saying: “Have a good day.”

Chapter 6: Acknowledgment, Status Report, and Remote Access

6.2.4 Battery Condition

During a Status Report, you may hear one of three possible messages regarding battery power. The OMA-P1104 determines the appropriate message by measuring battery voltage. Depending upon the remaining voltage, it may respond:

• “Battery Condition , OK,” if over 8.2 Volts.

• “Battery Condition , low,” if between 7.2 and 8.2 Volts.

• “Replace batteries,” if below 7.2 Volts.

6.2.5 Remote Access by Touch-Tone™ Telephone

Calling the OMA-P1104 for a Status Report provides the opportunity to access other functions, using Touch Tone™ pushbutton commands. Remote telephone commands include:

• Disabling/enabling any input.

• Disabling/enabling High Sound Alarm monitoring.

• Disabling/enabling AC Power monitoring.

• Activation of Listen-In Time.

• Activation of the Status Report.

To issue commands by telephone, first dial the number of the OMA-P1104 to access the Status Report. The Status Report will be followed by the programmed Listen-In Time. If you remain on the telephone, the Status Report will be repeated, followed by a 10 second waiting period and hang-up. During this 10 second waiting period, or at any time during the call, other

commands may by accessed by pressing any push button on the telephone.

If a Security Code is in effect, the OMA-P1104 will prompt you with: “Enter Security Code.” If no Security Code is set, then it will say “O.K.”

• Enter your Security Code (4 digits) with the telephone push buttons. If the code you enter is correct, the OMA-P1104 will respond: “OK.”

• If you enter the wrong Security Code, the OMA-P1104 says,“Error. Have a good day,” and hangs up.

Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual

Disabling/enabling inputs – If an input is set to detect an alert

condition, it can be disabled to prevent the OMA-P1104 from dialing out, or re-enabled at any time.

This feature allows the convenience of disabling an input, even if you are away from the site of the OMA-P1104. One such application may involve an input programmed to detect unauthorized entry. You are in another locale, but must allow someone else temporary access to the area monitored by the OMA-P1104. Using a Touch Tone the appropriate input (thereby disabling any alarm dial-out response). The input remains disabled until you issue the same command, which effectively returns it to its former, enabled state.

Press the following push-buttons on the Touch ToneTM telephone to execute the desired command:

* (asterisk), 1

...equal to Sensor On/Off, for input 1. To re-enable the input, repeat the same Touch-ToneTM button sequence used for disabling.
