Description
The B-TEL99 telephone dialler calls and sends messages to a series of
programmed telephone numbers.
The plastic box (ABS) of the B-TEL99 should be mounted near to the con-
trol panel.
The B-TEL99 can monitor two different event types (e.g. burglary alarm
and fire alarm). It is possible to assign relevant voice messages to each
event type.
The messages are recorded on a non-volatile memory which avoids the
usual problems connected with magnetic tape such as: message quality
loss and mechanical hitches after long periods of device inactivity.
The B-TEL99 has a built-in loudspeaker for recorded message playback
(for message quality checks).
The alphanumeric keypad and LED display make parameter programming
quick and easy.
The box is protected against tamper and has a compartment for a 12 V -
1.2 Ah battery (not supplied).
Alarm cycle
In the event of an alarm status on an alarm channel, the telephone dialler
will carry out the alarm cycle, illustrated in figure 1, for each of the tele-
phone numbers programmed for the channel in question.
Phase 1 The telephone dialler switches the telephone line from any connected tele-
phone device or devices (connected to terminals LI) to the B-TEL99 inter-
face.
Phase 2 After 3 seconds the telephone will hook the connected telephone line.
Phase 3 If the Dial-tone check is enabled (see "Dial-tone check" programming op-
tion 7) the B-TEL99 will check for the dial tone, if the dial tone is detected
the B-TEL99 will step to successive phase.
If the dial tone is not detected (option enabled) the B-TEL99 will release
the telephone line and step back to phase1.
6Telephone dialler B-TEL99

The Dial-tone check will be carried out 4 times, after which the B-TEL99
will step to the successive telephone number, and restart from phase 1.
If this option is disabled the B-TEL99 will step directly to the successive
phase.
Phase 4 The B-TEL99 will dial the telephone number (1 to 7) assigned to the alarm
channel in alarm status, and will show (one by one) the dialled digits on the
display.
Phase 5 If the Voice answer detection option is enabled, the B-TEL99 will wait 25 sec-
onds for a voice answer and, when voice answer is detected, the B-TEL99 will
step to the successive phase. If, however, the Voice answer detection option
is disabled, the B-TEL99 will wait 5 seconds after dialling, and then step to the
successive phase.
Phase 6 The B-TEL99 will send the assigned alarm message for the alarm channel
in question. The message will be played for the programmed Message
playback time (20, 40, 60 or 80 seconds).
Call cycle The Call cycle/s (set during programming) establishes the number of times
that each telephone number assigned to the alarm channel in alarm status
must be called (1 to 5 times).
+Safety regulations state that failed calls must not be redialled for at least
60 seconds (failure due to telephone-line fault, busy line or no answer).
However, the B-TEL99 will pause for 60 seconds at the end of each Call
cycle, or before redialling a telephone number which is part of the Call cy-
cle in course.

INSTALLATION
Mounting +Before installing the B-TEL99 please note the following.
ØTo allow easy access to the keypad and microphone, and for an adequate
view of the display, the B-TEL99 should be installed at a height of about 160
cm.
ØBefore drilling the stop holes, check for water pipes and electrical cables.
Lay the cables for the B-TEL99 and its devices, and proceed as follows
(see the illustrations on pages 8 and 9).
ØRemove the front panel by unscrewing the screws 1.
ATTENTION When the tamper switch is connected to the correspond-
ing tamper line of a control panel, removal of the front panel, for repair or
maintenance, will cause a false alarm. Therefore, it is necessary to dis-
arm the control panel (according to the instructions in the control panel
manual) before removing the front panel of B-TEL99.
ØPass the cables through the cable passage 8then mount the B-TEL99.
Description of the terminals
1-2 [L.E.] External telephone line. Connect the external telephone line to terminals
1-2[L.E.]. The B-TEL99 must be connected before all other line-sharing de-
vices. Connect line-sharing telephone devices to terminals 3-4 [L.I.].
+In accordance with regulation requirements, terminals 1-2[L.E.] must be
connected to the telephone line by means of a telephone plug or by a tele-
phone.
ATTENTION Do not connect telephone devices parallel to terminals 1-
2 [L.E.].
3-4 [L.I.] Internal telephone line. These terminals should be used for the connec-
tion of line-sharing devices (switchboard, telephone, fax, modem, etc.).
+In the event of an alarm, the B-TEL99 will hook the telephone line until the
programmed alarm cycle/s have been completed.
5 [ ]Ground.
INSTALLATION 11

ATTENTION To comply with the telephone network safety standards,
and protect the B-TEL99 from overvoltage on the telephone line, terminal
5[ ] must be connected to Ground of the electrical circuit.
6-7 [AS] Tamper. These normally closed terminals must be connected to the tam-
per switch/es 13 (on-board), and 11 (not supplied). The tamper switch 13
opens the circuit when the front panel of the B-TEL99 is removed. The op-
tional tamper switch 11 (installed on the backplate, by request) opens the
circuit when the B-TEL99 is pulled off the wall. These terminals must be
connected to the tamper line of the security system control panel.
8[BA] - 9[ ]Stop Alarm. This terminal may be used to stop the alarm cycle/s, from a
remote position or by means of a device (usually the control panel of a se-
curity system). To stop the alarm cycle/s connect this terminal momentar-
ily to Negative.
ATTENTION If terminal 8[B.A.] is used the alarm cycle will be stopped
when Negative drops.
10[OUT] Line fault. This terminal signals fault on line. Terminal 10[OUT] is an open-
collector output (NPN).
11[L1] Priority alarm channel. This terminal must be connected to Positive, when
Positive drops the B-TEL99 actuates the alarm channel 1 calls.
+If alarm channel 1 (priority channel) goes into alarm status during the
channel 2 cycle/s, the latter will be interrupted by the programmed channel
1 cycles, the remaining channel 2 cycle/s will restart when the channel 1
cycle/s end.
12 [L2] Secondary alarm channel. This terminal is for alarm channel 2 activation.
When alarm channel 2 is actuated the B-TEL99 starts the alarm channel 2
alarm cycle and sends the programmed messages to the assigned tele-
phone numbers. When Positive drops on this terminal: both alarm chan-
nels will go into alarm status and will carry out the programmed cycles.
Activation mode The default programming is for Positive drop. This intrinsic safety function
mode also protects against wire-cutting and blackout.
+If required, it is possible to program activation by Negative command, that
is, by connecting the alarm channel to Negative. This function mode is
useful in connections with open-collector alarm outputs.
In all cases:
Øif the alarm command is permanent, the B-TEL99 will carry out the alarm
cycle once only;
Øthe B-TEL99 will complete the alarm cycle even when the alarm command
is not permanent.
To stop the alarm cycles in this case:
12 Telephone dialler B-TEL99

Øconnect terminal 8[B.A.] to Negative (terminal 9)
Øor enter the User Command PIN on the B-TEL99 keypad.
13[+12] - 14[ ]Power supply. The B-TEL99 must be powered by 13.8 V 250 mA min.
Basic connections
The basic connections are necessary for the basic functions of the B-
TEL99, and are illustrated in figure 5 (highlighted lines) on the following
page. Figure 5 illustrates Alarm channel 1 connected to the normally
closed contact (NC) of the control panel alarm relay.
+If the default programming (Positive drop) is to be changed to activation by
Negative command, the Alarm channels must be connected to an output
that goes to Ground (Negative) in the event of alarm (e.g. open-collector
output).
Auxiliary connections
The auxiliary connections are not necessary to the basic functions of the B-
TEL99, but offer further functions to this flexible appliance. The connections il-
lustrated in figure 5 are described in the following paragraphs.
Tamper
connection The connection of the tamper terminals allows detection of tamper on the B-TEL99 container. These terminals should be connected in series to the
tamper line of the alarm system, as shown in figure 5 .
Telephone-line
tamper
connection
The connection of the telephone-line tamper terminal signals telephone-
line tamper or cutting. Terminal 10[OUT] is available for connections to a
telephone-line switching device.
+Terminal 10[OUT] is an open-collector output (NPN).
Device
connection The B-TEL99 has two Alarm channels. Alarm channel 2 can be used for the connection to the alarm relay of the fire alarm system, to the Duress re-
lay of the security system, or for the connection of a radio receiver (tele-
service). The connection example is shown in figure 5: terminals [COM]
and (NC) of the device relay must be connected to terminal 13[+12] and to
the secondary alarm channel 12[L2] of the B-TEL99.
Stop alarm
cycle/s
connection
By connecting terminal 8[B.A.] to Negative, it will be possible to stop the
alarm cycle/s. This feature is useful when:
Øthe dialler is difficult to reach, for security reasons;
Øit is necessary to stop the alarm cycle/s when the Burglar system is dis-
armed.
INSTALLATION 13

In the first case (dialler difficult to reach) connect a button or pulse lock be-
tween terminal 8[B.A.] and terminal 9[ ] as illustrated in figure 5. In the
second case (to stop alarm cycle/s when the Burglar system is disarmed),
terminal 8[B.A.] can be connected to terminal [+ON] of the Burglar system
(a terminal with Negative when the system is armed), or to terminal [+OFF]
of the Burglar system (a terminal with Positive when the system is dis-
armed). In the latter case, a 1k5, 1/4 W resistance between terminal [B.A.]
and [ ].
