The TC Plus is being offered
in different types (analog,
ISDN, GSM) with and without
EIB module. These operating
constructions apply to all
types.
The TC Plus is an alarming
and remote switching device
by which up to 6 conventional
devices can be switched via
telephone. All settings will be
saved in case of a power fai-
lure – except for time and
date. The behavior of the
exits in case of a power failure
can be set (after return of the
power voltage: ON, OFF or
restoring the switching state
before the power failure).
Conventional relays or current-
impulse switches can be con-
nected to the switching out-
puts.
Furthermore, the TC Plus is
sending messages to se-
lected participants (cf. phone
numbers). These messages
are activated by up to 6 con-
tacts (sensors) which are con-
nected to the alarm inputs (N1
to N6). At each of the inputs
break or make contacts can
be installed.
Additionally, when connected
to EIB, up to twenty communi-
cations objects can be con-
trolled and up to 6 EIB-alarms
can be processed.
Should given messages –
send off by the alarm inputs
M1 to M6 or by EIB – not be
confirmed, then a local alarm
exit will be switched.
The controlling will either be
performed with a DTMF tele-
phone (DTMF = Dual-tone
multi-frequency) or with a
DTMF pocket dialer (optional).
In case of an answering ma-
chine being used at an analog
connection (AB mode), either
the answering machine or the
TC Plus can be addressed.
Individual user data are easy
to program.
The TC Plus is operated by
turnkey. Operation is suppor-
ted by plain texts on a 20
character 4 line alphanumeric
LCD field and also by announ-
cements (cf. pp. 78, 79).
The user can choose among
6 display languages for the
messages.
The respective software is en-
closed in the scope of deli-
very and supports comfortable
configuration. The PC must
have a serial interface.
Messages are transferred
exactly to the selected partici-
pants by announcements,
SMS, e-mail, or fax. The num-
ber of dial attempts (0 to 12)
can be set.
The announcements can be
individually recorded by the
user. In order to do this, the
handset (optional) with the 4-
way RJ connector has to be
inserted in the socket (see fi-
gure on page 10). The exam-
ples shown in chapter ”Functi-
on” will explain the operation.
