ISACC Instruction Manual
SYSTEM
This keyword allows you access to the global system parameters, including:
Unit identification - You may assign a name to the ISACC unit for identification. The name
may be up to 31 numbers or characters long.
Phone number of unit - The ISACC unit may be reached at this number. This number is
used in voice mode identification. The phone number may be up to 31 digits long and can be
typed plain, using hyphens and parentheses. Example:
Phone number of unit = >16105551234
Phone number of unit = >1-610-555-1234
Phone number of unit = >1(610)555-1234
Data password - The data password can be any combination of numbers or letters up to 30
characters long. The password is case sensitive. You MUST enter the password exactly as it
was originally programmed, with capitals, small letters, punctuation, etc. If the password is
forgotten, the only way to access ISACC is to turn the unit off and remove the lithium battery.
All programming will be deleted and reset back to the default settings.
Network node number - Up to 16 ISACC units may be networked together in series via
the RS485 port. The network node number identifies the ISACC unit in the network. This
number may be from 0 to 15, the default is 1. If ISACC is not part of a network, its network
node number should be set to 1.
Rings until answer - This parameter is the number of rings ISACC will wait before answer-
ing the phone line when the unit is being called. The rings may be programmed from 1 to 15,
the default is 1.
Phone dialing - This parameter allows you to determine whether ISACC will dial out using
pulse or tone dialing. The unit will prompt you to enter 0 for pulse or 1 for tone, the default
is tone.
Time between calls - This parameter is the length of time that ISACC will wait between
phone calls before dialing the next phone number on the list. The time between calls may be
programmed from 5 seconds to 270 minutes, the default is 30 seconds.
Wait time between rounds - This parameter allows you to program the time ISACC will
wait before it resumes calling from the top of the phone list after it finishes a round. The wait
time may be programmed from 1 minute to 270 minutes, the default is 5 minutes..
Maximum number of calls - This parameter determines the maximum number of calls
ISACC will make if the unit does not receive acknowledgment. The maximum number of
calls may be programmed from 0 to 9999, the default is 16. If ISACC reaches the maximum
number, it will self-acknowledge the alarm(s) and cease the dialout. NOTE: If you program
the maximum number of calls to 0 (zero), ISACC WILL NOT DIAL OUT. If only one
phone number is programmed ISACC will dialout a maximum of 15 times to report an alarm.
Voice alarm repetitions - This parameter allows you to program how many times ISACC
will repeat the alarm message during an alarm dialout phone call before requesting acknowl-
edgment. The number of repetitions of the alarm message may be from 1 to 255 for each
phone call, the default is 3 repetitions.
NOTE: If the voice alarm repetitions is programmed to 0 (zero), ISACC will not recite the
alarm message.
