Remote DOES NOT speak a voice message. It calls the beeper
company or service, enters the number to be displayed on the
beeper, then hangs up.
Alarm Acknowledgment
Local
Alarms can be acknowledged locally by pressing any key on the
Boat Remote keypad.
Example: Boat Remote is operating in On-Board Mode. Bilge Pump
#1 has exceeded its programmed maximum run time. Boat Remote
begins to repeat the message “Bilge Pump 1 ran too long.” Since
you are on board, you hear the message and acknowledge the
alarm locally by pressing any key on the Boat Remote keypad.
Remote Voice Dial Out
Repeated below is the same example of what Boat Remote might
say during a typical ‘voice’ dial out: (must be in Away Mode)
“Hello, this is (ID message). The water level is too high”
“Hello, this is (ID message). The water level is too high”
“Hello, this is (ID message). The water level is too high”
“Indicate you have received warning message.”
‘555’ Acknowledgment Code
Boat Remote will now wait 5 seconds for the touch-tone acknowl-
edgment code ‘555’, or ‘999’ (see below), to be entered. When you
press the ‘5’ key on a touch-tone phone, Boat Remote will echo the
word “five” back to you. After the third ‘5’ has been received, Boat
Remote will respond by saying, “Alarm Acknowledged”. The alarm
has been acknowledged and the unit will hang up. Once the alarm
has been acknowledged, the dial out process stops.
‘999’ Acknowledgment Code
Substituting the ‘555’ acknowledgment code with ‘999’ will acknowl-
edge the alarm and, for the input that is in alarm, will change the
Input Mode from Active to Status Only. This is useful if an input is
going in and out of alarm.
To remotely change the alarm input’s mode follow the directions for
the ‘555’ acknowledgment code, but substitute ‘555’ with ‘999’. The
response will be, “Input disabled. Alarm acknowledged. Good-bye.”
