BT Home Monitor ~ Issue 5 ~ 1st Edition ~ 26_01_ 04 ~ 5725
SIREN ON TIME
When your BT Home Monitor VP1000 triggers in
response to unwanted activity, the internal siren
will sound immediately (unless the detector is on
an entry delay). You can choose how long you
would like the internal siren to sound for. Choices
are in minutes: 1 minute, 3m, 4m (default), 8m,
10m, 15m, 20m.
BUILT IN SIREN
You can choose to turn your internal siren off
using this option. This is particularly useful for
when you are testing the system, as the siren is
very loud.
If you do turn your internal siren off for testing,
remember to turn it back on once you have
finished.
CHECK – BEEPS
When your BT Home Monitor VP1000 responds
to an event, or detects a problem which needs
attention, the CHECK indicator on the front
panel will light, it will emit audible beeps at
regular intervals (three per minute) and show a
message on the display. You can choose whether
to have the beeps enabled or not. Choices are:
disable beeps, enable beeps (default).
To remove any CHECK indications, you must
interrogate the panel memory for alerts or faults
and attend to them. If you cannot eliminate the
problem immediately, and you wish to temporarily
suspend the beeps, press the button on your
Keyfob or the OFF button followed by your USER
PIN on the Control Panel or Keypad. This will
silence the beeps for four hours.
For assistance in resolving problems, and
eliminating CHECK indications, please refer to
the troubleshooting section.
Communications Settings
This menu option allows you to change
operational settings for your system including:
• 1st Telephone Number
• Property ID Number
• 2nd Telephone Number
• Two Way Voice
• Send ON / OFF
1ST TELEPHONE NUMBER
This is the number your system will call to
contact the BT Home Monitoring centre. This is
pre-programmed and should not be changed.
Note that the telephone number has an 0870
prefix, meaning your system will not be able to
dial the monitoring service if you use national
rate call barring on your telephone line.
PROPERTY ID NUMBER
This is the number which was provided to you at
the end of your account set up process.
It is known as your PROPERTY ID NUMBER, which
identifies your property to the BT Home Monitoring
centre. Once input – it should not be changed.
2ND TELEPHONE NUMBER
This is the back-up number your system will call
to the BT Home Monitoring centre. This is
pre-programmed and should not be changed.
TWO WAY VOICE
Choices are:
Enable two-way
Disable two-way (default)
This function allows you to listen or speak in to
the monitored property through the control panel.
SEND ON / OFF
ONLY AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ACCESS
TO THE INTERNET
This option allows your BT Home Monitor
VP1000 to send a message to the BT Home
Monitoring service every time it is switched on
and off. This is a useful feature, as you can view
the status of your system remotely from your
personal online account, to tell if your alarm is
switched on or off. You can use this feature to
tell if you or another member of your household
remembered to switch on the system before
leaving home. Note this will result in outgoing
calls from your property so the default is off.*
Choices are: Send NO On / Off (default),
Send On/ Off.
* Note that call charges will apply each time your system
makes an outgoing call.
