SAT3 Self Identifying
Automatic Telephone
Introduction
What a SAT3 Does.
he SAT3 is a telephone device that connects to a telephone line. The SAT3
dials a pre-programmed number, when the PUSH FOR HELP button is
pressed. It can dial up to 9 additional 16-digit phone numbers.
After dialing, it permits two-way voice communication without having to hold a
handset (Hands Free). The amount of time that you can talk on the SAT3 before it
disconnects is programmable from 1 to 9 minutes, or 20 minutes. The SAT3 can
identify itself by sending a 4-8 digit Account number as a series of Touch-Tones.
Another device, like the SATDBRX, can interpret those tones and determine where
the call originated. SAT3 does all of this without requiring an external power source,
because it is telephone line powered.
SAT3 Features.
eatures of the SAT3 include:
Call Progress for dialing phone numbers and for automatic hang-up.
SAT3 detects these Call Progress tones:
Dial Tone
Busy
Fast Busy
Off Hook Alert
Ring Back
Voice

SAT3 Features, continued.
Stores up to 10 phone numbers up to 16 digits. Depending on the
programming, SAT3 can dial 2 numbers alternating back and forth 5 times, or ten
different phone numbers one after the other. The combinations (up to 10) will
depend on the programming, and can be easily changed.
Touch-ToneDetect. The SAT3 has Touch-Tone detection for:
Remotely hanging up the SAT3.
Sending the 4-8 digit account number on command.
Remote Touch-Tone Programming.
Acknowledging Call. (Lights the flashing Talk LED).
Talk Time.
This is the time from 1 to 9 minutes, in 1-minute increments, or 20 minutes
(fixed), that a SAT3 remains connected for talking, before it times out and
hangs up.
Acknowledge Tone.
If programmed, will light up the flashing TALK light, after the SAT3 places a
call and the Acknowledge Tone has been received.
Password Control.
The SAT3 has a 4 digit-programming password. This is used for remote
programming from a Touch-Tone phone.
Account Cycle Time.
This is how the SAT3 can automatically send its 4 to 8-digit account number.
It does this in 10-second increments.
Account Confirm.
This function, (when programmed to do so), will automatically dial the next
number in it’s memory, if the SAT3 does not send it’s 4 to 8 digit account
number. SAT3 keeps doing this until it does send the account number, or
until it has dialed all the numbers (up to 10 total) programmed into it.
1200/300 Baud modem.
The SAT3 has a 1200/300 Baud modem for remote programming from a
computer, as opposed to a Touch-Tone phone

Central Station signals.
This allows the SAT3 to automatically call a central station using the SIA “fast”
format (300 Baud) for off-site monitoring, using central station digital receivers
with two-way voice capability.
Account Number.
The SAT3 allows from a 4 to 8 digit account number, primarily for Central
Station alarm monitoring usage.
Zone Number.
Allows up to 1000 zones, when using a single account code. An example
would be, grouping several SAT3’s on a site together, again for Central Station
alarm monitoring usage.
Second dial button. (SAT3/D only)
The SAT3/D has a second button, to dial a single 16-digit phone number,
such as for further information, or to a different location other than ones
programmed into the 10 pre-programmed locations. The second button when
pressed, will dial a single 16-digit phone number. This number may be used to
call a non-emergency number for instructions, etc. This number will be dialed
once and if not answered, or if the number is busy, the unit will hang up. The
user must press this button again, to try again.

SAT3 Programming
How To Program a SAT3(Getting into Program Mode)
he SAT3 can be programmed with the optional hand programmer
(OptSAT3Prgm), or it can be programmed with an ordinary Touch-Tone
telephone. The SAT3 is designed to answer immediately and prompt (with a
beep) for the 4 digit password. SAT3 comes from the factory with all 4 digits
set to 7 (7777 is the password).
To program a SAT3, from a Touch-Tone Phone, get into programming mode by:
☺Calling the SAT3’s phone number.
☺After 1 ring, SAT3 answers and beeps once.
☺From your phone, key in 7777 À.
If the password is valid you will hear two beeps. If the password is not
valid, SAT3 will immediately hang up.
"If you do not key in the password within 5 seconds, SAT3 hangs up.
Once the password is entered, if more than 1 minute goes by with out a key
being pressed on your phone, SAT3 will hang up.
Any programming key press error will cause SAT3 to send a long tone
(Error Tone) instead of 3 beeps (Command Accepted).
How To Get Out of Program Mode.
☺Use your Touch-Tone™ phone to key in 999 À. Then SAT3 can be used
immediately.
Example: To exit program mode, key in 999 À.
"If you simply hang up, the SAT3 cannot be used for at least one minute.

Any number can be put in any location. You could put the same number
in all 10 locations and it would call 10 times if it did not send its Account
number when Account Confirm is on. Or, you could put 2 numbers in five
times; alternating locations so that SAT3 tried one number then the other, 5
times in a row.

SAT3 OPERATION
he operation of SAT3 is straight forward from the users’ point of view.
Simply push the button. When the PUSH FOR HELP button is depressed,
the red CALLING light will turn on.
There will be a brief dial tone to let the user know SAT3 is starting the call.
"The SAT3 MUST sense a dial tone within 6 seconds, or it will hang up, and
not automatically re-dial again.
After the button is pushed, pushing on it again, (until call is completed) is
ignored.
The audio will be disabled momentarily to keep the dialed number
confidential. After dial out, SAT3 enables the audio to let the caller hear the progress
of the call. If there is no answer, or the line is busy, or there is a circuits busy (reorder),
SAT3 will hang up. If additional numbers (up to 10 total) have been programmed,
SAT3 will automatically dial the next available phone number.
Once the dialed number has been answered, two-way conversation may begin.
Conversation may go on for whatever length of Talk Time was programmed (1 to 9
minutes or 20 minutes.) 10 seconds before SAT3 times out, it will send three beeps to
alert both caller and called party that SAT3 is about to disconnect.
Pressing a 0 before the SAT3 disconnects, will reset the timer to its
programmed value, to extend the conversation.
The called party may force SAT3 to hang up before Talk Time times out
by pressing # on the called party’s phone.
If SAT3 Account Cycle Time has been set (See Pg. 6), it will transmit a 4 digit
Touch-Toneat the programmed intervals (anywhere from 10 to 90 seconds in 10
second increments). If Account Cycle Time was set to 00 (disabled) it will send only
when receiving a Àfrom the called party. This is called Account on Command.
While SAT3 is transmitting its account, account tones may sometimes
interfere with conversation.

After the SAT3 calls, if an acknowledge tone was programmed (See Pg. 8) and
is pressed by the called party, the green light marked TALK, will begin
flashing once per second. This lets the person using the SAT3 know that the
phone call was received and acknowledged. This is useful for the hearing impaired, to
help comply with ADA requirements in some systems.
If the optional Info Button is installed (SAT3D/R only), pushing that button will
automatically call the number stored in the info location. It will NOT dial any
additional phone numbers if it fails to get a response.
HowTo RemotelyCall a SAT3.
☺Call the SAT3 by dialing its number from another phone on another line. When
the SAT3 answers with its acknowledgement beep; press the first 2 digits of the
Password andÀ. (e.g. 77 and À.) This will open the audio channel to permit 2-
way conversation without the SAT3 having first called out by pressing the PUSH
FOR HELP button.
Example: Dial 555-1212 and wait for the beep. Press 77 À. Begin talking.
SAT3 Central Station Operation
The SAT3 has a built-in data modem that will call a Central Station using the universal
SIA 1 (“Fast”) protocol. Placing 2 pause commands (#, #) in front of the phone
number will cause the modem to dial the number and connect with the Central Station
equipment.

SAT3 Modem Operation
The SAT3 has a built-in data modem that will connect at 300 or 1200 Baud. Any
modem terminal program that can call at 300 or 1200 Baud can call the SAT3. The
SAT3 screen formatting emulates a VT-100 terminal. After the SAT3 answers, it will
transmit a “PASSW =” prompt. After connection, key in the 4-digit password and
follow all menu prompts. The main menu choices and the secondary menu choices
follow the same functions as normal programming either through a Touch Tone, or
the optional SAT3 Programmer. For example, changing the password is Main menu
choice 5 and sub-menu 5 and then the password, just like 55 and the password is, from
the SAT3 Programmer or a Touch-Tone phone.
Call the SAT3 with a terminal program and a modem capable of communicating at
1200 or 300 baud, with no error correction or compression selected, in the modem
parameters.
