Instructions
Product Summary
The Interrogator 200 Audio Verification Module
(AVM) gives the central station operator the ability to
hear what’s happening at the premises during an
alarm and speak directly to the system owner. The
operator can determine how serious an alarm is, find
out what kind of help is needed, and dispatch the
appropriate assistance.
Control Panel Compatibility: SIMON ™
Only Version 2 (# 60-776)
Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing the
AVM:
nYou can install one AVM per panel.
nWire speakers (voice terminals) in series and the
DC voltage, ground, and microphone wires in
parallel.
nUse separate cables for the speakers and the
power, ground, and microphone wires to prevent
cross talk between the microphone and the
speaker.
nUse 3-conductor, 22-gauge shielded wire from the
AVM power, ground and microphone to the
panel. Shielded cable reduces electrical noise and
cross talk.
nUse 2-conductor, 18-gauge wire from the speakers
to the panel.

Powering Up
To power up the panel and AVM:
1. Make sure all wires are connected correctly and
securely crimped.
2. Apply AC and battery power to the panel.
Programming
Programming the AVM involves entering the
following:
nEnabling AVM
nAVM mode of operation
nFire shutdown
nPanic talk
Enabling the AVM - Option 33
To allow the user or Central Station use of the AVM,
option 33 must be on. To turn option 33 on, follow
these steps:
1. Press Add from the Start Menu on the Control
Panel.
2. Press Option #, 33.
3. Press DONE.

After reporting an alarm, the panel answers on the first
ring. A 5 minute window allows remote access alarm
verification after an alarm is reported.
This window is activated after an alarm has been
reported and allows access to the AVM after one ring
at the alarm site. The 5 minute window is cleared
when the monitoring service operator hangs up using
99.
Instant - Option 47 is off
The central station traps the panel when it reports an
alarm. Monitoring personnel can then initiate anaudio
session from a central station parallel telephone.
Fire Shutdown - Option 46
Shutdown - Option 46 is on
Fire sirens will be shut down at the customer site when
audio access is gained. Instead of sirens, the system

Off-Site Testing
You will need a helper and touch-tone phone at an off-
site location to perform this test.
Note: Option 27 (Ring, Hang, Ring) must be on to
perform the test.
To test the module from off-site:
1. The off-site helper calls the panel, lets the phone
ring once or twice, and hangs up.
2. The helper must call the panel again in 10 to 40
seconds. The panel answers.
3. The helper dials the following on the phone:
* CODE 5.
4. The helper should dial 1 and be able to speak to
you through the AVM.
5. The helper should dial 3 and listen to you.
6. Walk through the vicinity of the AVM while
speaking at a normal conversation level.
7. To return to speaking mode, the helper dials 1.
8. When testing is complete, have the helper dial 99
to hang up.
Central Station Testing
You can also use the central station to test the module.
To test the module from the central station:
1. Inform the central station that you will be sending
an alarm and testing an AVM.
2. Give them the programming selections you made
for the panel.
3. Use a touchpad panic button to initiate an auxil-
iary alarm.
4. The central station operator waits for the alarm to
be reported and initiates an audio session.
5. Have the operator speak to you.
6. Tell the operator to press 3 and walk through the
vicinity of the AVM while speaking at a normal
conversation level.
7. When testing is complete, the operator will end
the session by pressing 99.
Sound Volume
The AVM microphone volume is automatically
controlled and is not adjustable. The speaker volume is
preset to full volume.
If It Doesn’t Work
AVM communication failure usually occurs because of
panel programming errors. Check the programming
selections you made at the panel.
