General Description

The Input Guard is a complete multi-input monitor and auto-dialer. The Input Guard moni­tors up to eight (8) inputs.

The Input Guard allows the user to program individual normal states and a time delay for
each input. When an input goes into an alarm condition, the Input Guard will call up to eight
programmable voice or pager numbers.

The Input Guard also monitors the power to which it is connected and will call its’ pro­grammed numbers if a power outage exists.

The Input Guard will turn on its alarm relay and buzzer when any zone or input is in an
alarm condition. The alarm relay and buzzer is turned off by pressing the button on the top
of the dialer.

Installing the Input Guard

Select a location with access to power, telephone line, and Ethernet jack if the Input Guard
with Ethernet jack was purchased.

Connect the phone line to an active analog phone jack.

Plug in the wall mount transformer into a power socket of which you want monitored.
Connect the wall mount transformer power jack to the Input Guard on the top of the unit.

For ease of wiring, remove the terminal blocks. See wiring diagrams on page 4.

If desired, connect additional signaling devices to the alarm relay contacts at terminals 22,
23 and 24.
Alarm relay is dry contact rated at 1A 24VDC.

Software for the VM606E can be found at;

Setting up the Input Guard

Programming is accomplished over the phone and only has to be done once, unless it is

necessary to make a change. Before programming, do the following:

1 Connect a phone line and power, and then turn on the Input Guard.
2 From another phone line dial the number where the Input Guard is located. The device

will pick up after the first ring.
3 When prompted, enter the 4-digit PIN number (Factory default PIN number is 0000).
4 You will hear the Main Menu options (you may enter your selection at any time):

Programming Input Parameters

Each input can be programmed to be either a normally closed or normally open input.

Each input has its own time delay for which the input must have changed state for, before
the Input Guard begins making emergency calls. The time delay is programmed in minutes.

Each input has a unique Input ID message that can be recorded to give further detail during
emergency calls.
