DL-125C, DL-125CA

Programmable 2-Channel Speech Dialer

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 General description

The DL-125C and DL-125CA are automatic programmable speech dialer designed for verbal reporting of events.

Features

• 2 alarm inputs (Z-1 & Z-2).

• When each input is triggered, a specific prerecorded verbal

message is reported to 4 remote telephones.

• When an event occurs, it can be reported to different 4 telephones or (if both inputs are connected in parallel) to different 8 telephones.

• The target telephone numbers may be frequently reprogrammed by the user.

• If the telephone line is disconnected, the two output terminals LF (solid state switch) are shorted or open (programmable). These terminals can be used to send a signal to the alarm system for telephone line failure indication.

• The alarm logic of each input can be programmed by the installer (activation when alarm input is "open" or "closed").

• Selectable Pulse or DTMF dialing method.

• Certain functions can be performed in response to DTMF

control commands received from remote telephones.

• Whenever a message is acknowledged by the called party, a highly sensitive microphone is activated, to allow the called party to listen and hear sounds in the installation site.

• The "listening-in" period is limited in time, but the called party can send a specific DTMF command to prolong it.

• Programmed data is retained in an EEPROM, unaffected by power failures.

• A communication session with the first / second group of telephones is initiated by triggering alarm inputs Z-1 / Z-2, or by pressing AL-1 / AL-2 on the front panel, respectively.

• Powered by an external source and can be backed up by a rechargeable battery.

Dialer Types

Dialing Can be Stopped by:

Type

DL-125C YES (*) YES

DL-125CA NO (**) YES * Provided that momentary alarm contacts are used. ** This feature is sometimes required by regulatory authorities.

1.2 Applications

• Upgrading alarm control panels that do not have a dialer. Two different events can be reported to remote telephones.

• Stand-alone 2-input 24-hour alarm system, triggered directly by a smoke/shock detectors or a panic button (loop response time 200 ms).

• Looking after infants or old, sick and disabled people. The dialer delivers a distress message and then allows the called party to "listen in".

• Supervising unattended technical devices or processes, with verbal reporting of equipment failures or process anomalies.

• Transmitting numeric reports to numeric pagers or voice messages to voice pagers.

1.3 Message Structure

The overall length of the speech message that can be recorded is limited to 20 seconds (see par. 5,4) . Within this limit, the message can be composed of two pre-recorded segments:

• The identification segment, common to both alarm inputs. This segment usually identifies the user or the protected premises.

• The alarm type segment, associated with a specific alarm input. This segment is used to describe the type of event reported ("fire", "intrusion", "panic", etc.).

A transmission initiated by a specific event (one of the two alarms) is composed of the identification segment and one of two alarm type segments. The order of transmission of the two segments can be selected. For instance, you can select: "The Smith residence, 25 Scarecrow Drive – Fire Alarm", or you can select: "Fire Alarm – the Smith residence, 25 Scarecrow Drive".

1.4 Communication Routine

Note: In this section, location numbers identify "memory cells" that retain programmed parameters (see Para. 5.8).

Once triggered into action, the dialer introduces a programmed pre-dialing pause (see Location 14 in Para. 5.8). Then it disconnects the local telephone set and engages the telephone line. The DIAL LED lights and the process continues as follows:

A. The dialer starts dialing if uninterrupted tone is detected for 2

seconds (see C below). If 5 seconds elapse with no dial tone - the dialer disengages the line, waits 5 seconds and tries again. If another 5 seconds go by without dial tone, the dialing procedure starts anyway (see B below).

B. The dialer checks whether a letter is programmed as a prefix

to the first telephone number. Letter prefixes impose an additional delay before dialing (see Para. 5.2). The dialer introduces the required delay (if any) and then starts dialing.

C. The dialer dials the programmed number. During dialing, the

LED either remains lighted (DTMF dialing) or flashes (pulse dialing), depending on the dialing method selected. After dialing, the dialer pauses for 5 seconds and transmits the message prepared for the called party associated with the input that had been triggered.

D. The dialer now waits 3 seconds for the called party to

acknowledge (the acknowledge signal is DTMF "1").

E. Upon receiving the acknowledge signal, the dialer removes

the presently contacted telephone from its task list for the current event. If the "listen in" function is permitted (see Location 10 in Para. 5.8) it will continue as in Paragraphs F and G below. If not, the dialer will go "on hook" and proceed to dial the next number.

Note: Without an acknowledgement, the message will be

repeated until the maximum number of message repeats is reached (see Location 20 in Para. 5.8). The dialer will call the remaining numbers and will then repeatedly retry the number that didn't acknowledge, until the maximum number of dialing attempts is reached (see Locations 12 and 13).

F. After acknowledgement, the dialer enables the "listen in"

function for a preprogrammed period.

G. At the end of the listen-in period, a short beep sounds. If the

called party keys "1" within 10 seconds, a new listen-in period begins. Otherwise", the dialer will go "on hook". The listen-in period may be prolonged as many times as necessary or terminated at any time by keying "9" twice in succession.

telephone, the procedure in A through G above will be

2. SPECIFICATIONS

Input Circuits: Two N.O. or N.C. inputs (programmable) LF Alarm Output Type: Solid-state relay, N.O. or N.C

(programmable), up to 100 mA / 30 V, ~30 Ω internal resistance. (note: this output is comprised of two terminals that have no polarity) Alarm Logic: Alarm upon circuit closure or upon circuit opening (programmable)

Dialing Method: Pulse or DTMF (programmable) Tel. Line Impedance: 600Ω, or customized to meet local

requirements in country of use. Reporting Destinations: Two groups of telephone numbers, 4 telephones in each group. Reporting to one pager requires the memory space dedicated to two telephone numbers.

3. MOUNTING

The dialer may be installed as a stand-alone unit or within the housing of a host system such as an alarm control panel.

repeated for all remaining telephone numbers in the relevant group (provided that the "non-backup mode" has been selected in Location 24).

Note: Location 24 allows selection of "backup" or "non-

backup" mode. In the backup mode, acknowledgement from one telephone is enough to close the event. In the "nonbackup" mode, acknowledgement must be obtained from all telephones in the group.

I. Once the entire communication cycle is concluded, the dialer

disengages the line and reverts to the standby state. If you are using the DL-125C, the communication routine may be aborted at any time by pressing the STOP button on the keypad (provided that the input is no longer in alarm). If you are using the DL-125CA, the only way to stop the dialer is to disconnect the power, because the STOP button is disabled.

4. Wiring

The dialer can be powered by constant power supply or by a switched power supply. When the dialer receives switched power from an alarm system, it will be disabled upon stopping the alarm, since the alarm relay cuts off the power. This type of wiring is ideal when the dialer is mounted in a locked box that prevents access to the STOP pushbutton.

Note: Both Z-1 and Z-2 inputs can be programmed as N.O. (normally open) or N.C. (normally closed) inputs (see Locations 22 & 23 in Para. 5.8). With N.O. inputs selected, a short circuit across the relevant input will activate the dialer.

2 DE5817

With N.C. inputs selected, an open circuit across the relevant input will activate the dialer.

Use 15 AWG or larger conductor to connect the EARTH terminal to the nearest electrical ground, preferably a ground rod.

Failure to earth the unit compromises safety!

The phone connected to the SET terminals will be automatically disconnected from the line whenever the dialer goes into action.
