15 How to control via the phone
Phone control is not available in Captain 8. This section refers to Hunter-Pro
Series only
You can control the Hunter-Pro Series alarm system by any touchtone or cellular phone. You can
initiate a call to the alarm system and control it, or you can answer a call from the system, for
example, when you receive an alarm message.
There are two modes to phone control (set by the Installer):
Basic: that includes operations like arming, disarming, deactivating the sirens, and more.
This is the default mode.
Full: that includes the basic mode and in addition, activating devices connected to the
alarm system.
15.1 Basic mode
To control the system by the phone, do the following:
1. Call the alarm system (or answer a call from it)
2. After the call is answered, wait for a confirmation tone: a long tone followed by 2 beeps
The system does not recognize phone commands (tones) while sounding the
confirmation tone. Therefore, you must wait until the confirmation tone is
over, before pressing any phone key
3. Dial the Master code or authorized user code (see section 9.4, on page 21)
4. Listen to the system status tone:
Continuous: system is disarmed
5. Dial a number, according to the next table. The panel confirms every command with two beeps:
Stop the external siren and the dialer
Disarm the system (must be specifically enabled by
the technician)
Arm the system to “Home 1” mode
Arm the system to “Home 2” mode
Activate listen in for one minute (using the MIC-200).
Press again to extend by one minute
While the system is communicating, the message “Other keypad in use” is
displayed on all the keypads.
If the panel does not receive any command for 60 seconds, it disconnects the
call. It then remains in standby mode (with the above message displayed on
the keypads) for another 60 seconds, before the message disappears.
During listen in, all other phone commands are disabled.
