on the controller. The red wire should be to the top of the
connector - See Figure 2. Make sure that the connector is
aligned with the pins on "J2".
Figure 2 - Omni/OmniPro Installation
When connecting to an OmniLT, route the cable to the
connector on the top of the board marked "J1". Plug the
Model 10A11 cable into "J1" on the controller. The red
wire should be to the left of the connector (red wire to Pin
1)- See Figure 3. Make sure that the connector is aligned
with the pins on "J1".

OPERATION
The Two-Way Audio Module has two modes of audio
communication:

1. Listen mode is used to listen to the premises from an
inside, remote, or central station telephone. You cannot
talk to anyone on premises in listen mode. Whenever
the module is switched on, it is set to the listen mode.
2. Talk mode is used to talk to someone on-premises from
an inside, remote, or central station telephone. You
cannot listen to the premises while in the talk mode.
The mode can be changed between listen and talk by using
the keys on a phone. When the module is switched on, a
90 second disconnect timer is started. If no tones are
detected within 90 seconds, the module will be switched
off. Each time a tone is received, the timer is reset.
CENTRAL STATION OPERATION
When an alarm occurs, the communicator first sends the
appropriate report to the central station. After the
transmission of the alarm to the central station, the operator
can talk and listen to people and sounds at the premises.
After the report is received by the central station operator,
the Two-Way Audio Module is switched on. The central
station operator can now listen to the premises. The
module is always switched on in the listen mode. The
operator can control the direction on the communication by
using the Touch-Tones on a telephone. Each time the
operator switches between the listen and the talk mode, a
short tone will sound over the audio speaker at the
subscriber's premises. This alerts the subscriber that the
operator has switched communication mode. If no tones
are detected within the 90 second disconnect period, the
module will disconnect from the phone line.

THE PHONE LINE
When the Two-Way Audio Module is switched on after an
alarm transmission, the siren is automatically switched off

PAGING AND LISTENING

remote phone to talk (page) and listen to someone on the
premises.
From the main telephone menu choose the 8 (PHONE).
To talk or listen to the premises, press the 3 (INTERIOR).

switch to listen mode.
To talk to someone at the premises, press the 2 key.

- When complete, press * to return to the main
telephone menu.
If no tones are detected within the 90 second disconnect
period, the module will switch off and you will return to
the main telephone menu.
ANNUNCIATION OF ALARM
The Voice Alarm Module enables the system to speak the
type of alarm and zone over a speaker on premises. When
an alarm first occurs, the siren is activated. After a few
seconds, the siren is turned off and the type of alarm is
announced. The siren is then reactivated. After a few
seconds, the siren is again turned off and the violated zone
is announced. The siren is then reactivated.
SPEAKER VOLUME CONTROL
The volume of the audio can be controlled by adjusting a
variable resistor on the module. Use a small screwdriver to
adjust R34. Do not adjust R32 (it is set by the factory).
