Pre Alarm Msge - This message is voiced by the ARS100 before voicing any alarms present.
Post Alarm Msge - This message is voiced after the ARS100 voices all of the current alarms.

Tel Number 1 (to 8) - Number to dial when an alarm is present. When an alarm is detected, the ARS100 dials these numbers in sequence and reports the alarm. When you answer an alarm call, pressing # stops the ARS100 from calling the next number in the sequence. If you hang up, the ARS100 continues to dial the next number in the sequence. It is not necessary to enter all eight numbers.
Aux Number 1 (to 8) - Touch tone digits to send. If an Aux Number is present, it preempts the voiced messages. When the ARS100 detects an alarm it dials the first Tel number. If the Tel number has a corresponding Aux Number, The ARS100 sends out the Aux number as touch-tones, instead of voicing the alarms. You may use this feature to call a pager, and, for example, send out the phone number of the ARS100. When the pager responds, call the ARS100, and enter the telephone password to receive the voice messages.
F2 displays the data associated with each alarm.

Alarm Zones - Enter the zone number. It is possible to associate each alarm with 8 zones.

On the front of the ARS1 are 3 indicators and a volume control. The green active LED flashes continuously if the ARS1 is operating properly. The red alarm LED will be on when any of the 48 alarm inputs are active. The yellow line LED indicates the phone line connected to the ARS1 is in use. The volume control sets the loudness of the voiced messages on the phone.
The display panels have 2 buttons. The button marked acknowledge turns off the beeper. The test button runs a lamp self-test as long as it is held down. A small post on the beeper adjusts the loudness of the beeper. It rotates about a 1/4 turn clockwise or counterclockwise to set the beeper louder or softer. A system failure LED on each panel indicates a problem with the data connection to the ARS1 or a failure of the ARS1 itself.
