When a output is usedto activate the burglary channel, connect dialer terminals 1 2to the bell
terminals of any Ademco control. Any voltage between and 14V
to dialer terminals 1 will activate
the dialer. Be sure to OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY: positive
(+) to terminal 1, negative ( - ) to terminal
When a contact closure is used to activate the burglary channel, connect dialer terminals 1 4 to any
normally open device, Any closure, either momentary (of at least
0.5 seconds duration) or lock - in, across
terminals 1 4 will activate the dialer. Devices for 24
- hour hold - up or emergency protection should use
these terminals. If a6V input is used on terminals
1 2, a contact closure cannot be used on terminals 1
4.
When a input is usedto activatethe fire channel, connect dialer terminals 2 3 to the bell termi -
nals of the control. Any voltage between and 14Vwill activate the dialer. Be sure to OBSERVE
PROPER POLARITY: negative
( - ) to terminal 2, positive +) to terminal 3.
When a contact closure is usedto activatethe fire channel, connect dialer terminals 3 4 to any nor -
mally open device. Any closure, either momentary (of at least 0.5 seconds duration) or lock - in, across
terminals 3 4 will activate the dialer. If a 6V input is used on terminals 2 3, a contact closure cannot
be used on terminals 3 4.
If you wish to prevent (abort) the dialer from continuing to make outgoing calls once the local control or
lock
- in activating devicehas been restored to normal, move the spade lug on the BLACK flying lead from
terminal 7
to terminal 5. The dialer will then continue to run until it iscompletely RESET, but will be
automatically disconnected from the telephone line and no further calls will be made. Once the dialer has
RESET,
it will be automatically reconnected to the telephone line and will be ready to report a subse -
quent alarm.
If lineseizure is desired (disconnects all telephones from the linewhen the dialer is activated, to prevent
possible interruptionof the message) connect terminals 6
7 toa No. 663 Line Seizure Module. A No.
620 Direct Connect Cord is used to connect to telephone line and handsets. See No. 620's instructions.
If you wish the dialer to complete all of its calls, even if the activating device is RESET, or if the dialer is
operated by a momentary contact device, leave the spade lugof the BLACK flying connected
to
terminal 7.
Connect terminals 8 (TIP) and 10 (RING) to the telephone line, via a No. 620 Direct Cord, or, when local
regulations permit,
via a standard four pin plug or directly to the line. If line seizure is via
a
No. 663 Line Seizure Module and No. 620 (see No. 620's instructions).
Connect ONLY to a 6V battery or an Ademco rechargeable filtered power supply (suggested: Nos.
96,487 or 497). The Ademco No. 89 Energy Pack may not be used. OBSERVE POLARITY: red lead to
positive black lead
to negative ( - ).
For protection of the circuitry against telephone line inducedtransients, connect to a good earth ground.
(A cold water pipe or electrical box may be used in some locations.)
Additional transient protection can be provided by a No. 255 Lightning Protector which connects directly
across the telephone line and to ground.
A No. 663 used for line seizure also provides transient protection for the No.612 by isolating its circuitry
completely from the telephone line. In this case, a
No. 255 may be installed across the telephone line
entering the
No. 663for protectionof the Nos. 663 and 612.

OPERATING NOTES:
1. To Test The Dialer
A. Slidethe switch marked“DIALER” (aboveterminal 10) tothe lower position. THIS
CONNECTS INTERNALSPEAKER AND DISCON -
NECTS PHONE LINE.
IMPORTANT: THIS SWITCH MUST REMAIN IN THE LOWER POSITION FORTHE ENTIRE DURATION OFTHE TEST. DO NOT
RETURN THESWITCH TO THE UPPER POSITION UNTILAFTER THE DIALER HAS
RESET AND THE PILOT LAMP HAS
GONE OUT, OR YOU WILL TRANSMIT ACTUAL ALARM MESSAGES.
8. Test either channel (Fire or Burglary) by holding appropriate “TEST” switch down for approximately one second.
C. When test iscompleted and tape automatically resets,the dialer will stop and the pilot lightwill gooff.
IMPORTANT: RETURN “DIALER” SWITCHTO UPPER POSITION WHEN TESTING IS COMPLETED. IFTHESWITCH IS LEFT IN THE
LOWER POSITION,THE DIALER WILL
BE DtSCONNECTEO FROM THE PHONE LINEAND SUBSEQUENT ALARM
MESSAGESWILL NOT BESENT.
FOR NORMALOPERATION, THE SWITCH MARKED “DIALER” MUST ALWAYS BE IN THE UPPER POSITION.
2. Fire Channel will overr’de BurglaryChannel in the event bath are tripped during alarm condition.
3. Dialer automatically resets after each alarm or abort condition.
INSTALLATION OF THE TAPE CARTRIDGE
Outside
The tape cartridge is of special endless - loop design. This meansthat the tape always travels
from the insideof the tape reel (bottom
of the cartridge) tothe outside of the tape reel (top
of the cartridge).Slack inthe exposed loop can be automatically taken upsimply by pulling
the tape in its normal direction, always starting at the bottomof the cartridge. This is impor
-
tant to know since there may be slack in the tape loop when you first install the cartridge.

CAREFULLY REMOVETHE TAPE FROM THE PLASTIC BAG. DO NOT EXTENDTHE
LOOP. Position the tape cartridge on
the deck, below the motor.The side of the reelwith
the lock ring should befacing up. By rotating the cartridge, position it so that the locating
pin under the reel fits intothe locating hole. Now, by moving the cartridge slightly left or
right, look for the screw hole
on the deck through the center hole of the cartridgeand fasten
it in place using the screw supplied (#6 x 1-1/4).
Taking care not to end up with too muchslack, pullenoughtape from the bottom of the car -
tridge so that a loop is formed around the two postsandthe magnetic head, as shown.
Gentiy lift the pressure roller, place the tape over the capstan
about half-way down the shaft
and return
the roller to holdthe tape against the capstan. The tape should now be taut
against the posts and magnetic head.

1. Slide pressure pad away from head
2. Thread tape
3. Slide pressure pad forward until foam gently contacts tape
NOTE:
If the loop of the tape has too much slack and is not touching both posts and the magnetic head, tighten the tape in the following way.
Liftthe pressure roller slightly and pull the tape out of the cartridge at point
“A“ in the direction of the arrows. This will automatically shorten
the loop. Keep pullingthe tape (always from the bottom of the cartridge) until the tape loop fits properly.Then, gently return the pressure
roller.
THE DIALER SHOULD ALWAYS BE TESTED AFTER INSTALLING A NEW TAPE CARTRIDGE.
TO THE INSTALLER
Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer and frequent testing by the
user are vital
to continuous satisfactory operation of any alarm system.
The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and offering a regular maintenance
program
to the user as well as acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of the
alarmsystem anditscomponent parts.Recommendationsmustbe includedfor
a specificprogramof
frequent testinq (at least weekly) to insure the system’s proper operation at all times.
In the Event of Telephone Problems
Inthe event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the tape dialer by removingthe plug from the phonejack. We recommend that the
installer demonstrate disconnecting the phones on installation of the system. Never disconnect
the phone connection inside the No. 612 or at
the No. 663 Line Seizureunit. Doing so will result inthe loss of the phone lines. If the regular phone works correctly after the tape dialer has
been disconnected from the phone lines,the dialer has
a problem and should be returned for repair. If upon disconnection of the dialer, there
is still a problem on the line, notify the telephone company that they have a problem and request prompt repair service. The user may not under
any circumstances (inor
out of warranty) attempt any service or repairs on the system. It must be returned to the factory or an authorized ser -
vice agency for all repairs.
NOTE: Whenthe system is communicating and a No. 663 is used, the phone line may be seized and the user phones may be disconnected.
Even if a
No. 663 is not used,there will be an interference with the phone fine during communication. Under normalcircumstances, the phone
line disruption should only befor
1 - 2 minutes.However,linedisruption could last upto 15 minutes if trouble exists. If this occurs regularly, con -
tact your installer.
