DT-1 SATEL 3
1. INTRODUCTION
The DT-1 dialer has been designed to work as an element of supervision systems,
alarm systems, and control and measurement systems, which need to send concise
information by remote control.
We hope that the software and the modern technical solutions used in our device will
make it possible for you to forward messages in a fast and effective way, and that owing
to the wide range of its abilities you will find many other applications for DT-1.
2. ALARM SYSTEM OPERATING COSTS
The main task of the control panel is signaling and efficient reporting of alarm situations
and, in the case of the monitoring function, keeping the monitoring station informed
about the protected facility status. Performance of these functions is to a large extent
based on the use of a telephone line, which entails generating certain costs. Generally,
the level of costs incurred by the alarm system owner depends on the amount of
information the control panel has to transfer to the monitoring station. A failure of the
telephone links, as well as incorrect programming of the control panel or dialer, may to a
large degree increase these costs. Such a situation is usually related to an excessive
number of connections made.
The installer can adjust functioning of the alarm system to the specific conditions and
kind of the protected site, however it is the user who should decide if his or her priority is
transferring information at any price, or, if some technical problems occur, the control
panel is allowed to skip some events, the reception of which has not been confirmed by
the monitoring station.
3. ABOUT DT-1
The DT-1 is a dialer designed to forward alarm messages through telephone dial lines.
The device is able to:
•send voice messages informing about an emergency (one- and two-message
modes are available)
•answer phones by providing a voice message or a sound code
•send alphanumeric messages to pager systems (POLPAGER, EASY-CALL,
TELEPAGE) – (one- and two-message modes are available)
•send digital messages to one or two computer monitoring stations.
DT-1 is able to co-operate with all types of telephone exchanges. The device monitors
the status of the line, recognises telephone exchange signals, and provides information
on whether the connection has been successful. Both tone and pulse dialing are
available.
Data concerning the dialer software and the voice messages are stored in non-volatile
memory (data will not be lost even if there is a power failure). Access to data
programming is granted after the user's code (manufacturer's code: 1234) and service
code (manufacturer's code: 12345) are given. The dialer has three programmable
inputs: ALM, ARM, AUX.

User Manual DT-1

3.1 FORWARDING VOICE MESSAGES INFORMING ABOUT AN ALARM
Voice messages may be forwarded to six telephone numbers. The numbers as well as
the messages are programmable through user functions. The dialer memory makes it
possible to store one voice message lasting for 16 seconds or two separate voice
message lasting for 8 seconds each (FS38, option 2). The basic mode (FS38 – LED 2
off) makes it possible to send one message to all numbers. The transfer of messages
starts after the ALM or AUX inputs are activated. The dialing sequence is consistent
with the numbering of the numbers programmed. The number of dialing rounds is
determined in service functions.
Operation in a two-message mode (FS3 – LED 1 on; FS38 – LED 2 on) is connected
with an allocation of telephone numbers to the particular inputs and the message
number. The activation of the ALM input will start the sending of voice message 1 to
telephone numbers programmed through user functions 1, 2and 3, which have not
been assigned for PAGER messages by the FS6 service function. The activation of the
AUX input will start the sending of message 2 to telephone numbers programmed
through user functions 4, 5and 6, which have not been assigned for PAGER messages
through service functions FS6 and FS39.
3.2 DIALING
After "picking up the receiver", the dialer waits for the tone of readiness from the
telephone exchange. After receiving the correct tone, the device dials the number and
waits for a return dialing signal (the signal we hear when the phone of the person we
are phoning to starts ringing). The dialer recognizes the stopping of the return dialing
signal as answering the phone and starts sending the voice message. After the
message is sent, the dialer starts dialing another number.
When busy tones are received, the connection is immediately finished and the device
starts dialing another number. If there is no busy tone and no return dialing tone (due to
signal disappearance, strong interference or picking up the receiver during the first ring),
the dialer sends the message, but does not consider the connection successful.
After all the numbers have been dialed once, the dialer starts another round of calls by
dialing the first number (if more than one round of dialing was programmed). During
each "round of calls" each number is dialed once only. If there is no connection, the
subsequent number is dialed. After finishing "rounds", dialer once again dials the
number with which there was no connection. Connection attempts are repeated four
times for each unsuccessful connection in a round. The number of rounds and the
number of connection attempts are programmable (FS11 service function is used for the
purpose). Default setting is "one" for the number of rounds, and "zero" for the number of
connection attempts, which means that each number will be automatically dialed four
times if there is no connection.
To stop dialing, give user's code or change the ARM input to the disarmed status.
Connection may be controlled through the LINE OUT headphones socket, which makes
it possible to listen to the line during connection.
Note: Do not test the system by using a telephone connected in parallel to the dialer -
this may result in interference and improper functioning of the dialer.
To have one message forwarded:
1. install the dialer, connect 12 V power supply and a telephone line;
2. program at least one telephone number (user functions F1–F6);
3. record your voice message (F7);
4. program the number of messages, i.e. 1 (FS38);

DT-1 SATEL 5
5. program input reaction in service functions (FS2 and FS3);
6. define dialing (pulse or tone) (FS3).
7. enable phoning (FS3).
8. program the number of dialing rounds (must be bigger than zero) (FS11).
Note: If the signals getting to the dialer from the telephone line do not meet used
standards, options disabling signal analysis should be set appropriately (FS4). If
after picking up the receiver the signal is not continuous, disable dialing tone
control.
Before leaving the service mode, the dialer controls the data programmed. If they are
incomplete (e.g. there is no programmed telephone number), the device disables dialing
(FS3) and remains in the service mode.
To have two messages forwarded:
1. install the dialer, connect 12 V power supply and telephone line;
2. program at least two telephone numbers by using user functions F1–F3 for the first
number and functions F4–F6 for the second number;
3. record both voice messages (F7);
4. program the number of messages, i.e. 2 (FS38);
5. program input reaction in service functions (FS2);
6. program message forwarding activation by the AUX input (FS3);
7. define dialing (pulse or tone) (FS3);
8. enable phoning (FS3);
9. program the number of dialing rounds (must be bigger than zero) (FS11).
3.3 ANSWERING TELEPHONES
The device may answer telephones by providing information on system status. The
dialer will answer calls after recording the set number of rings.
Three messages may be provided:
•a voice message if there was an alarm within the last hour,
•five short sound signals every second if there was an alarm, but more than an hour
ago,
•a short signal approximately every second if there has been no alarm since the
device was activated.
Note: If the dialer operates in the two-message mode, it will play the message
connected with the input, which as the last has activated the transfer of
information on alarm.
After a phone is answered, the function is inactive for about 10 minutes, which makes it
possible to get a connection with the answering system or fax located on the same
telephone line behind the dialer. The dialer should be programmed in such a way that it
answers phones faster than the other devices (e.g. the dialer could answer calls after
three rings, and fax after five rings).
To activate the phone-answering function:
1. activate the alarm message forwarding function (as described above).
2. program the number of rings before answer (FS12).
3. switch on the answering to external phone calls (FS 4).
Note: Phones are answered only when the ARM input detects that the alarm system is
on.

3.4 PROVISION OF INFORMATION THROUGH PAGER SYSTEMS
Each of the telephone numbers programmed by user functions may be used for the
provision of information to pager systems (POLPAGER, EASY-CALL, TELEPAGE).
After dialing the number to be used in this function (which must first be programmed in
service functions FS6 and FS39), the dialer will wait for the answer tone from the pager
system exchange, and send the alphanumeric message after receiving the signal. The
message is forwarded by tone dialing (DTMF).
Because answer tones of the particular pager systems are different, it is necessary to
specify the system with which the dialer is to co-operate in the service function FS37.
Connection is recognised as successful only after the dialer receives an answer tone
from the pager system exchange (this guarantees that the connection was successful).
In the basic mode (FS38 – LED 2 off) it is possible to forward one message (message
"A") to each of the selected telephone numbers. To program the message, use function
FS34 or FS35.
The operation in the two-message mode (FS38 – LED 2 on) is connected with the
allocation of the particular telephone numbers to dialer inputs and to the message
number – similarly as in the case of voice messages. In this case message "A" may be
sent to telephone numbers 1, 2, and 3 after the activation of the ALM input, while
message "B" (which is programmed by service function FS40 or FS41) will be
forwarded to numbers 4, 5 and 6 after AUX input is activated.
To have one message sent through a pager system:
1. program the pager number to which the dialer is to forward the message by using
user functions F1–F6;
2. program the telephone number which is to be used for forwarding messages through
pager (FS6 or FS39);
3. program message A (FS34 or FS35);
4. define parameters of the pager system answer tone (FS37);
5. program the other forwarding options correctly (as for voice message forwarding)
and enable phoning (FS2–FS4).
Note: Message is forwarded after the ALM or AUX input is activated. Activation mode
may be programmed through service function FS2.
To have two different messages sent through a pager system:
1. program the pager number to which the dialer is to forward message A using user
functions F1–F3, and the pager number to which the dialer is to send message B,
using user functions F4–F6;
2. program the telephone numbers, which are to be used for forwarding messages
through pager (FS6 and FS39);
3. program messages (FS34 or FS35 for message A; FS40 or FS41 for message B);
4. define pager system answer tone parameters (FS37) – one system for both
messages;
5. set correctly the other forwarding options (as for the forwarding of two voice
messages) and enable phoning (FS2–FS4).
3.5 COMPUTER MONITORING
Independently of sending voice messages and transferring messages through pager
systems, the dialer may forward messages to one or more computer monitoring
stations.

DT-1 SATEL 7
Monitoring is serviced as a priority, before messages are sent to the other six phone
numbers, which may stop the process of sending voice or text messages until data are
sent to stations. Cancelling alarm by user's code does not stop communication with the
monitoring station.
Data may be forwarded in one of several formats (standards). Transmission format may
be programmed through service functions FS17 and FS18. Data format is defined
through code length (FS19 to FS33) and identifiers (FS15 and FS16). The following
formats are acceptable: 3/1, 3/2, 4/1, 4/2. A four-digit identifier and a one-character
code are understood as format 4/1. To meet the requirements of the monitoring station,
transmission and data format should be selected.
Note: Codes equal to 00 and zero characters are not transmitted to the station.
There are four modes of communication with the monitoring stations:
•transmission to one station;
•simultaneous transmission to two stations (the same events are transferred to both of
them);
•transmission to two stations in the SPLIT REPORTING mode (some codes are
forwarded to station one and some to station two, with division into message urgency
level);
•transmission to station one followed by transmission to station two if station one is
not available.
To activate monitoring:
1. program one or two telephone numbers of the monitoring stations (FS13 and FS14),
2. program identifiers (FS15 and FS16),
3. select transmission format (FS17 and FS18),
4. define event codes (FS19 to FS33),
5. specify communication mode (FS5),
6. enable monitoring (FS5),
Note: The dialer automatically discovers incomplete or incorrect data when it leaves the
service mode. Errors are signalled by two long sounds. Monitoring is
simultaneously disabled in FS5.
4. DIALER OPERATION
4.1 CODES
The dialer programming functions are protected against unauthorised access by codes.
User functions may be programmed and reviewed only after the user's code is given.
Service functions are available after service code is given.
Codes may contain from 4 to 6 digits. The recording of a code should end with the sign
[#].
Manufacturer's settings: USER'S CODE 1234
SERVICE CODE 12345
Entering the user's code when the device responds to alarm stops forwarding
messages by telephone, but does not stop the monitoring.

User Manual DT-1

4.2 KEYPAD
The format of DT-1 keypad is typical for telephones. Letters placed on keys facilitate the
programming of text messages for pager systems. During data programming, [#] is used
for accepting, and [*] stops programming. The use of keys is confirmed by a sound
signal.
4.3 STATUS DISPLAY (LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES –LEDS)
The dialer display comprises four LEDs, which indicate the dialer status:
4) BUSY – busy telephone line,
3) LINE – signal monitor on telephone line (diode is on when tone is heard),
2) REPORT – message forwarding,
1) TROUBLE – error identification.
When the dialer is being programmed, LEDs show the current value of the programmed
parameters (in binary code, in consistence with the code table from chapter
PROGRAMMING – USER FUNCTIONS). Diode number (4,3,2,1) located by diode
name shows which key is used for the changing of diode status (on/off) during the
programming of bit functions.
4.4 SOUND SIGNALS
During program operations, the dialer emits sound signals, which have the following
meaning:
- one short sound ( • ) – key approved,
- two short sounds ( •• ) – function number or character in function program
approved,
- three short sounds ( ••• ) – function program completed,
- two long sounds ( — — ) – erroneous keypad data entered, [*] key used for
canceling, or dialer restarted after power failure,
- four short sounds ( •••• — ) – programming or service mode switched followed
by one long sound on/off, or error code display
ended.
4.5 TROUBLES
The dialer signals the discovery of troubles through the TROUBLE LED. Pressing the [*]
key will result in the consecutive display of two trouble type indicators.
When [*] is pressed for the first time (which is signaled by one short sound signal) the
first trouble set will be displayed:
BUSY.................no voltage on the telephone line,
LINE...................no answer tone from exchange,
REPORT............beep signal after connection,
TROUBLE..........incorrect confirmation tones from the monitoring station.
When [*] is pressed for the second time (two short sound signals) the second trouble set
will be displayed:
BUSY.................no connection with the monitoring station,
LINE...................error in the reading from the microprocessor system memory,
REPORT............event buffer memory overloaded in the first monitoring station,
TROUBLE..........event buffer memory overloaded in the second monitoring station.
After pressing [*] for the third time (there will be a series of signals – four short ones and
one long signal) you will leave the trouble review function.
