Introduction
There are two ways to program the Wurtec S3C: 1) locally [using onboard keypad and battery
or external power supply] or 2) remotely [accessing the S3C from another location by calling
it]. We recommend programming LOCALLY.
Power Requirements: Externally 12-24V AC/DC isolated from earth ground at 200 mA
or higher. The rechargeable 9V battery should be rated 150 mAh or better. External
power keeps battery charged. A fully charged battery allows up to 4 hrs. of talk time
upon power failure.
Line Requirements: It is highly recommended to use a shielded twisted pair for the
telephone line with the shielding grounded at the controller or at the source of the
telephone line.
Use the program keys on the onboard keypad to program Emergency Phone Numbers and
Site ID Message. You can perform these programming procedures and access all available
options by entering the Program Menu, which is explained on pages 9-18.
Before Programming the Wurtec S3 Communicator
STEP 1
When programming locally be sure to have a 9V battery with adequate charge
connected to the phone or external power connected. This will energize the keypad
so it can be programmed. Keypad will NOT be active with telephone line power
only.
STEP 2
Be sure to have all the information you need programmed ready before you begin
programming the phone. The phone will repeat itself every three seconds until
the information is programmed into the phone or you press
programming mode.
STEP 3
The phone can be programmed backed to factory defaults at any point (see page
8) if a mistake is made. Also take note that if information is programmed incorrectly
the rst time, just follow the steps of programming again and it will overwrite the
previous program. For example, if an incorrect phone number was programmed,
follow the steps of programming the phone number again and the latest number
programmed would be the one saved to the phone.

STEP 4
If you are having trouble getting the keypad to work for programming at this
point, please see the trouble shooting section on page 21, or the troubleshooting
owcharts on page 24 and 25. The trouble shooting page also has our help line
number for any questions or problems.

numbers and have them call you back. This will verify touch tone lines, phone numbers
and line conditions.
B.
IMPORTANT! This step will save you time and unnecessary eld trips! Carefully
tape the shielding and any additional wires on the phone cable so they will not short
out the electronics or the telephone line at the circuit board. NOTE: GROUND THE
SHIELDING AT THE CONTROLLER OR SOURCE OF TELEPHONE LINE ONLY!
