1. Introduction
1. What the Voice Dialler does
The Voice Dialler can store up to 6 telephone numbers and record and
play back emergency messages. With a total message capacity of 20
seconds, the choice is yours whether you store 1, 2 or 3 different
messages of variable length for different situations i.e. fire, burglar or
panic / emergency. During an emergency, the Voice Dialler will dial the
programmed telephone numbers in sequence until two calls have been
answered. It will play the appropriate recorded message to summon help
depending on the type of signal the Main Unit receives from its detectors.
The telephone numbers and the messages are all stored in EEPROM so
that no data is lost once programmed.
Types of alarm detected :
Fire from Smoke or Gas detectors
Burglar from Door Switch, PIR Detector or Broken
Glass Detectors.
Panic / Emergency from Panic or Silent Panic buttons or Hand
Held Controller or Emergency Pendant.
2. Model
The Wireless Voice Dialler is designed to be used with our wireless
home alarm systems. It can accept alarm signals from two sources :
1) Radio signal from the Main Unit.
2) Alarm signals from detectors attached to the unit itself.

2. About the power supply
An AC power adapter is required to connect to a wall outlet. Use only an
adapter with the appropriate AC voltage ratings to prevent component
damage. The adapter should provide 12V DC output and 300mA
capacity.
The Voice Dialler has 2 options, with built-in rechargeable battery or
without battery.
With rechargeable battery
In addition to the adapter, there is a rechargeable battery inside the Voice
Dialler which serves as a back-up in case of power failure. The battery
used is Ni-Cd 8.4V rechargeable battery.
During normal operation, the AC power adapter is used to supply power
to the Voice Dialler and at the same time recharge the battery. When the
battery is fully charged, it can provide back-up power for a period of at
least 7.5 hours. It takes approximately 36 hours to charge the battery
fully.

This is the default setting.
If you wish to change the setting, use a small screw driver to set the
new system ID code. The same ID code should appear on each unit in
the system.

Note : If you are using this Voice Dialler with our alarm system
having 256 ID code combinations, (that is when the system
ID code switch block of the alarm system has only 2
positions, up being the ON position and down being the OFF
position), please not the down position marked as "-" of the
Voice Dialler can’t be used. Only the up and middle position
can be used.

UP (+) = UP (ON)
MIDDLE (o) = DOWN (OFF)
DOWN (-) not used
3) Set the tone/pulse jumper
If your telephone system uses tone dialling, make sure the tone/pulse
jumper is shorted (with a clip between them). If your telephone
system uses traditional pulse dialling, pull up the clip (jumper should
be opened).
4) Close the protective cover.
5) Hang the Voice Dialler on the wall or put the Voice Dialler on top of
the table by using the appropriate bracket.
6) Plug the cord of the AC adapter into the DC jack.

and the RDY LED (green LED) will start flashing. The Voice Dialler
is now ready for operation.
5. Basic operation
Notes :
A. When pressing any key, you will hear a beep, this lets you know
the keystroke has been accepted.
B. When entering keystrokes, the interval between two keystrokes in
a setting sequence must not exceed 5 seconds, otherwise, the keys
you have entered earlier will be ignored and the Voice Dialler
will return to idle.

12V DC
FIRE ALARM DETECTOR INPUT
BURGLAR ALARM DETECTOR INPUT
EMERGENCY INPUT

If you have any smoke or gas detectors, connect them across pin 1
and pin 4.
If you have any PIR, door switch or broken glass detectors, connect
them across pin 2 and pin 4.
If you have any panic/emergency button, connect them across pin 3
and pin 4.
Pin 4 and pin 5 provide 12V DC output for the detector. Pin 4 is 12V
DC "-" (negative) polarity. Pin 5 is 12VDC "+" (positive) polarity.
2) The detector used should be a "normally closed" (N.C.) device. Any
of the 3 pins (pin 1, 2, 3) and pin 4 of the terminal form a closed loop
with the detector. If the circuit between any of the 3 pins and pin 4 is
opened, the alarm will be activated.
3) When the detector connector to the Voice Dialler is activated, the
Voice Dialler will directly dial and play the message recorded.
However, the Main Unit will not be activated.
7. Important notes
1) When only one number is stored and the number is engaged, the
Voice Dialler will automatically redial that number up to maximum
of 5 times with an interval of 62 seconds.
2) When more than one telephone numbers are stored, the Voice Dialler
will dial in accordance to the priority number. If the number being
dialled is engaged, it will try the next number and so on.
Each number will be tried a maximum of 5 times and the redial
interval between each number is 35 seconds.
3) When the Voice Dialler has reached 2 successful phone calls, it will
stop dialling.
4) When the recipient has answered the call, the Voice Dialler will start
to play the message after 2 to 5 seconds thereafter. It will repeat the
message for 3 times.

5) If no message or no telephone number is stored, the Voice Dialler
will not dial.
6) If certain type of alarm occurred, but the corresponding message is
not stored, the Voice Dialler will play message no. 1.
