1. Overview
Connections: The SD1 is connected between the alarm control panel and the telephone
line. It behaves like another extension to the telephone and does not affect its normal
operation or that of any other extension fitted. However, if the SD1 is operating the messages
will be heard if any handset is lifted. The unit requires no batteries as its power and mains fail
back-up are derived from the alarm control panel.
The SD1 accepts three inputs which in our example are; A - Personal Attack (PA), B - burglary
and C - fire. These correspond to the messages (A, B and C) that the SD1 sends out and
should be recorded as such. If the control panel does not have a fire monitoring capability
then the SD1 will accept a direct connection from a suitable smoke alarm (as above). The
SD1 may also be included in the control panel tamper circuit.
Telephone Numbers: The SD1 will dial up to three different telephone numbers and play its
message. The numbers may be up to 16 digits long and are simply programmed using the
text display and keypad on the unit.
Messages: The SD1 has a built-in microphone and speaker so that phrases can be
recorded and replayed directly from the unit. When the out-going call is answered the SD1
plays a common phrase (0) and one of the three alarm messages (phrases A, B or C).
Phrase 0 states your name and address and phrases A, B and C relate to the inputs from the
control panel (PA, burglary and fire in our example). Each phrase can be up to 8 seconds
long giving a total possible message length of 16 seconds (0 + A, B or C).
Acknowledgement: On receiving a call from the SD1 the person answering acknowledges
it by pressing the number [8] on their telephone*. The SD1 may be programmed to stop dialling
after the first call has been acknowledged or when two or three have been acknowledged, as
required.
If the message is not acknowledged then it is repeated four times after which the dialler
abandons the call. It then dials the next number. This procedure is repeated three times in
sequence for all three telephone numbers. If no acknowledgement has been received
then the dialler shuts down.
* Certain older types of telephone may require a tone dialling simulator to do this.

2. Initialising the SD1
When the SD1 is switched on the display will show "PLEASE RE-RECORD" and the unit will beep
every 30 seconds. This indicates that the memory is blank (i.e., all telephone numbers and
messages are blank).
Displayshows"PLEASERE-RECORD"whenunit
is first switched on.
When initialised the display shows "READY",
the unit can now be programmed and
tested.
If the unit is not operated for 1 minute, it will
revert to its normal standby mode and the
display shows "-ON-".
3. Programming Telephone Numbers
The SD1 stores up to three telephone numbers with a maximum of 16 digits for each.
NOTE. Permission of the person(s) that are being called must be obtained before storing their
telephone number. The Emergency Services telephone numbers CANNOT be entered.
The following example shows how to set telephone number 1 as 081 1234567.
Ensure that the SD1 is initialised and the
display is showing "READY".
Pressing 1-3 selects telephone numbers 1, 2
or 3. 0-C selects phrases 0, A, B or C (see
section 4).
The display will alternate between "PHONE
No. 1" and the current telephone number
(Blank if the number has not been
programmed).
Pressing the Akey will clear the display if a
mistakeismadewhilstenteringthenumber.
Repeat for telephone number 2 and 3 as
required.

Programming Telephone Numbers (Cont.)
When the SD1 dials a telephone number it will automatically select the correct dialling
format. In the U.K. there are two formats:
Pulse Dialling: This is the older format and is sometimes referred to as Loop Disconnect/LD.
Tone Dialling: This is the modern format and sometimes referred to as Multiple
Frequency/MF.
Any or all of the telephone numbers can be selected to override the automatic format
selection and be forced into dialling the number in one of the above formats if required.
Before entering the telephone number in the procedure, press the Bkey to select "Pulse
Dialling" (P) or press the Ckey to select "Tone Dialling" (T)
4. Recording Messages
The SD1 can record four phrases A, B, C and a common phrase 0. Each can be up to eight
seconds long and the four phrases are used to form three messages A, B and C:
Message A = phrase 0 + phrase A.
Message B = phrase 0 + phrase B.
Message C = phrase 0 + phrase C.
Phrase 0 is normally used to store the name and address of the premises, whereas phrases A,
B and C is normally used to store the type of alarm condition, e.g.,
Phrase 0: “This Is Mr Smith, at 10 The Strand, East Fincham”
Phrase A: “There is a Fire Alarm condition, there is a Fire Alarm condition”
Phrase B: “There is a Personal Attack Alarm, there is a Personal Attack Alarm”
Phrase C: “There is an Intruder Alarm condition, there is an Intruder Alarm condition”
Before you record phrases it is advisable to prepare them first by writing them down. The
following example shows how to record the common phrase 0:
Ensure that the SD1 is initialised and the
display is showing "READY"
Pressing the 0,A,Bor Ckey, selects
phrases 0, A, B, or C.
Stand back about 6-8 inches from the unit.
When ready press the [key to start
recording, speak clearly into the unit. The

5. Replaying Messages
Once the phrases have been recorded it is possible to play them back through the built in
loudspeaker.
The following example shows how to play back "Message A" (Phrase 0 + Phrase A):
Ensure that the SD1 is initialised and the
display is showing "READY".
After a short delay the display will show
"PLAYING PHRASE 0", then "PLAYING
PHRASE A".
Repeatformessages BandC,asrequired.
6. Call Acknowledgement Procedure
When the call is answered, the message is played. At the end of its message the SD1 sends
an audible "beep" which must be answered within 2 seconds using the tone generated by
pressing the [8] button on a standard telephone. On hearing the [8] tone the SD1
immediately sends another "beep" which must be answered in the same way. If successful,
a multi-tone confirmation signal is then heard, if not then the message is repeated with the
acknowledgement "beeps" again.
Points To Note:
1. The SD1 will not acknowledge signals from Pulse Dialling telephones or those with
short duration tones. Check all recipients phones by calling them and getting them
to press their [8] button. If a series of clicks is heard (or the tone cannot be
sustained by holding down the button) then a Tone Dialling Simulator will be needed
to successfully acknowledge the SD1 messages (Contact your installation company
for details).
2. No harm is done by not acknowledging the message as the unit simply repeats it
four times and then aborts the call.
3. The procedure is fast and should be practised by all recipients under test conditions.
The [8] button must be pressed within 2 seconds of each "beep" and should be
held down for between 12to 112seconds. If either tone is not 'seen" by the SD1 the
message is repeated again.

7. Sending A Test Call
It is possible to test that each message plays to each of the telephone numbers. e.g., you
may want to test that "Message A" plays to telephone number 1 or "Message B" to telephone
number 3 etc.
Before sending a test call it is very important that the person that is being called is familiar
with the Call Acknowledgement Procedure. This will ensure that the SD1 is successfully
cleared down.
If the SD1 is not cleared down when it is triggered from the alarm panel it will either dial the
next telephone number (if one is programmed) or re-dial the first telephone number a further
two times.
The following example shows how to send "Message A" to telephone number 1:
Ensure that the SD1 is initialised and the
display is showing "READY".
Dialling telephone No. 1
The unit waits until the phone being called is
ringing.When theunit detects theringing the
display will show "RINGING". If ringing is not
detectedwithin5secondstheunitwillstartto
play the message.
The unit plays phrase 0 (Name & Address)
then the alarm phrase A (e.g., Fire Alarm
etc.). At the end of phrase A, the person
receiving the call should carry out the Call
Acknowledgement Procedure.
If the call is successfully acknowledged the
display will show "CALL SUCCESSFUL". If the
person receiving the call fails to
acknowledge it on the first attempt the unit
will repeat the message four times, giving
them the opportunity to acknowledge the
callatthe endofeachmessage.Howeverif
at the end of the last attempt they still fail to
acknowledge the call the display will show
"NO REPLY". The unit will clear down for 6
seconds,thenre-dialthe telephonenumber
a further two times.
Repeat for other test call combinations as
required.

9. Changing the Acknowledgement Option
The SD1 acknowledgement can be set to one of the following options:
CLEARED BY ANY 1: The SD1 will clear down when the message is acknowledged
by any one of the three recipients.
CLEARED BY ANY 2: The SD1 will clear down when the message is acknowledged
by any two of the three recipients.
CLEARED BY ALL 3: The SD1 will clear down when the message is acknowledged
by all three recipients.
The default setting is "CLEARED BY ANY 1", which can be changed as follows:
Ensure that the SD1 is initialised
and the display is showing "READY".

10. Viewing The Last Call Log
When a call is successfully acknowledged the SD1 stores the event in a "Last Call Log".
The log may then be viewed as follows:
Ensure that the SD1 is initialised and the
display is showing "READY".
The display will show the Last Call Log e.g.,
"SENT A to [-2-]" (Alarm on trigger input A
acknowledged by recipient 2). If the display
shows [---] then none of the calls was
acknowledged.
Press the ]key to return to "READY"
11. Cancelling an Activation.
Occasionally you may trigger your alarm by accident and cause the SD1 to send an
unwanted call. When this happens the unit cannot be stopped by pressing the ]key or any
of the other keys. Control of the SD1 is disabled until the call has been successfully
acknowledged or until the unit has cleared down after the final attempt.
However there are two actions you may try to ensure that the alarm is intercepted:
1. If a telephone is connected on the same line as the SD1 you may lift the handset
and talk over the top of the SD1 message. Advise the recipient of the call not to
respond to the alarm.
2. If a telephone is connected on the same line as the SD1 you may use it to
acknowledge the SD1 yourself (providing it is a tone type telephone).
