DL-125C programmable 2-channel speech dialer
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose and Use
The DL-125C is an automatic programmable speech dialer with two alarm inputs. It is designed for verbal reporting of two separate events, one event per input. Each event can be reported to 4 different remote telephones or both events can be reported to the same 4 telephones. The telephone numbers of the called parties may be frequently reprogrammed by the user.
A communication session with the first / second group of telephones is initiated by triggering alarm Inputs Z-1/ Z-2. or by pressing AL-1/ AL-2 on the front panel, respectively. The alarm logic of each Input is programmed separately by the Installer. Pulse or DTMF dialing can be used to establish communication with the called party, in accordance with the local telephone network. The dialer performs certain functions in response to DTMF control commands received from remote telephones.
Whenever a message is acknowledged by the called party, the dialer activates a highly sensitive microphone, to allow the called party to monitor the installation site for sound. The "listening-in" period is limited in time, but the called party can send a specific DTMF command to prolong it.
The DL-1 25C is packaged in a plastic case, with a built-in keypad for programming and operation (see Figure 1). 12 keys serve for entering data, and 4 are function keys. Programmed data is retained In an EEPPOM. unaffected by power failures. Operating power is obtained from the mains through an external 12 VDC power supply. The use of a 12-Volt rechargeable, sealed battery Is recommended to provide operating power backup.
Two models are available:
DL-125C allows the user to stop the communication session by pressing the STOP pushbutton.
DL-125 CA - does not allow the user to stop the communication session by pressing the STOP pushbutton. This feature Is sometimes required by regulatory authorities.
1.2 Applications
* Upgrading alarm control panels that do not have a dialer. Two different events can be reported to remote telephones.
* Stand-alone 2-input 24-hour alarm system, triggered directly by a smoke / shock detectors or a panic button (loop response time 200 ms).
* Looking after infants or old, sick and disabled people. The DL-1250 delivers a distress message and then allows the called party to "listen in".
* Supervising unattended technical devices or processes, with verbal reporting of equipment failures or process anomalies.
* Transmitting numeric reports to numeric pagers or voice messages to voice pagers.
1.3 Message Structure
The overall length of the speech message that can be recorded is limited to 20 seconds. Within this limit, the message can be composed of two pre-recorded segments:
* The Identification segment, common to both alarm Inputs. This segment usually identifies the user or the protected premises.
Note: Recording an identification segment is not obligatory. You can record a longer alarm type segment for each Input Instead.
* The alarm type segment, associated with a specific alarm Input. This segment is used to describe the type of event reported ("fire", "intrusion", "panic", etc.).
A transmission Initiated by a specific event (one of the two alarms) Is composed of the Identification segment and one of two alarm type segments. The order of transmission of the two segments can be selected. For instance, you can select: "The Smith residence, 25 Scarecrow Drive - Fire Alarm", or you can select: "Fire Alarm - the Smith residence, 25 Scarecrow Drive".
1.4 Communication Routine
Note: In this section, location numbers identify "memory cells" that retain programmed parameters (see Para. 4.7).
Once triggered Into action, the DL-125C introduces a programmed pre-dialing pause (see Location 14 in Para. 4.7). Then it disconnects the local telephone set and engages the telephone line. The DIAL LED lights and the process continues as follows:
A. The dialer starts dialing if uninterrupted tone is detected for 2 seconds (see C below). If 5 seconds elapse with no dial tone the dialer disengages the line, waits 5 seconds and tries again. If another 5 seconds go by without dial tone, the dialing procedure starts anyway (see B below).
B. The dialer checks whether a letter is programmed as a prefix to the first telephone number. Letter prefixes impose an additional delay before dialing (see Para. 4.2). The dialer introduces the required delay (if any) and then starts dialing.
C. The dialer dials the programmed number. During dialing, the LED either remains lighted (DTMF dialing) or flashes (pulse dialing), depending on the dialing method selected. After dialing, the dialer pauses for 5 seconds and transmits the message prepared for the called party associated with the Input that had been triggered.
Note: Message structure Is explained in Section 1.3.
D. The dialer now waits 3 seconds for the called party to acknowledge (the acknowledge signal is DTMF "1").
E. Upon receiving the acknowledge signal, the dialer removes the presently contacted telephone from its task list for the current event. If the "listen In" function is permitted (see Location 10 In Para. 4.7) it will continue as in Paragraphs F and G below. If not, the dialer will go "on hook" and proceed to dial the next number.
Note: Without an acknowledgement, the message wm be repeated until the maximum number of message repeats is reached (see Location 20 in Pare. 4.7). The DL- 125 will call the remaining numbers and will then repeatedly retry the number that didn't acknowledge, until the maximum number of dialing attempts Is reached (see Locations 12 and 13).
F.After acknowledgement, the dialer enables the "listen in" function for a reprogrammed period.
G.At the end of the listen-In period, a short beep sounds. If the called party keys "1" within 10 seconds, a new listen-In period begins. Otherwise", the dialer will go "on hook". The listen-In period may be prolonged as many times as necessary or terminated at any time by keying "9" twice In succession.
H. Upon conclusion of the communication session with the first telephone, the procedure In A through G above will be repeated for all remaining telephone numbers in the relevant
group (provided that the "non-backup mode" has been selected in Location 24).
Note: Location 24 allows selection of "backup" or "non-backup" mode. In the backup mode, acknowledgement from one telephone is enough to close the event. In the "non-backup" mode, acknowledgement must be obtained from all telephones in the group.
1. Once the entire communication cycle is concluded, the dialer disengages the line and reverts to the standby state. If you are using the DL-125C model, the communication routine may be aborted at any time by pressing the STOP button on the keypad. If you are using the DL-125CA model, the only way to stop the dialer is to disconnect the power because the STOP button is disabled.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Mounting
The DL-1250 may be installed as a stand-alone unit or within the housing of a host system such as an alarm control panel. The unit includes three parts: the front frame, the electronic module (complete with keypad) and the base. The base must be separated from the other two parts for Installation.
A. insert a screwdriver into the slot as shown in Figure 2, and push the flexible catch slightly inward to disengage it. Pulling the bottom of the frame upward will allow you to free the two tabs at the top and remove the frame.
Figure 2. Removing the Front Frame
B. insert a screwdriver blade where shown in Figure 3. Dislodge the left side of the module, swing it up and disengage the two right hand legs from their seats. The module may now be detached from the base
Figure 3. Separating the Module from the Base
C. Open one of the wiring knockouts (see Fig. 4). Route the wires in and secure the base to the wall or to the host system cabinet, using screws through the three round holes. Complete all wiring as instructed in Para. 3.2.
D.After wiring, re-attach the DL-125C module to the base.
E.Remount the front frame: slant It towards the top of the base and engage the two legs at the top. Swing the bottom part of the frame towards the base, and press it against the base until the bottom catch snaps into the slot.
Figure 4. Base Layout
3.2 Wiring
Two wiring methods are recommended (see Figures 5 and 6).
Figure 5. Wiring with Constant Supply of Operating Power
Figure 6. Wiring for Automatic Stopping by Power Cutoff
The Figure 5 wiring configuration assumes that input Z1 is triggered by an alarm relay, and input by a panic pushbutton. The dialer is constantly powered by 12 VDC.
The Figure 6 wiring configuration assumes that only input Z1 is used. The dialer will be automatically enabled upon alarm, since 12 VDC is supplied via the alarm relay, and Z1 is permanently connected to the [-] terminal. The dialer will be disabled upon stopping the alarm, since the alarm relay cuts oft the power. This type of wiring is ideal when the dialer is mounted in a locked box that prevents access to the STOP pushbutton.
Note: Both Z- 1 and Z-2 can be programmed as N.O. (normally open) or N.C. (normally closed) inputs (see Locations 22 &23 in Para. 4.7). With N.O. inputs selected, a short circuit across the relevant input wm activate the dialer With N.C. inputs selected, an open circuit across the relevant input will activate the dialer.
Use 14 gauge wire or larger to connect the EARTH terminal to the nearest electrical ground, preferably a ground rod. Failure to earth the unit compromises safety
The phone connected to the SET terminals wilt be automatically disconnected from the line whenever the dialer goes into action.
4.1 Programming Fundamentals
The DL-125C employs a non-volatile EEPROM, which stores programmed data and keeps it intact even during power failures. Programming is carried out from the keypad by entering the desired variables or by setting logic flags. Every variable programmed into a specific location In the memory and each location is identified by a LOCATION NUMBER. A set of default parameters is programmed at the factory and saved In the EEPROM, but you may change these at will (see Pars. 4.7). The programming format consists of the following successive entries:
[PROG] <LOC> [#] <VAL> [#]
[PROG] and [#] are keys provided on the keypad. [PROG] starts the programming sequence and [#] confirms the preceding entry.
<LOC> is the location number. A leading zero may be ignored. so Location 06 may be entered as a single digit - <6>.
<VAL> is the value or code entered into the selected location.
Refer to the PROGRAMMING CHART (Par.. 4.7) for a full list of locations, permissible entries and function details
Caution! If an invalid parameter is entered at any stage. the LED will flash rapidly for 2 seconds and programming will be aborted.
You will sometimes have to key the hexadecimal digits B, C. D and E (see Para. 4.2 and 4.5 below) These digits are marked on certain keys (see Figure 1). To start the hexadecimal mode, press [*]. The DIAL LED near the keyboard will flash rapidly. Next, press the key with the desired letter. The keypad will automatically revert to its normal function, and the LED will stop flashing. Press [*] again If you wish to key another letter.Voice recording instructions are given in Paragraph 4.4.
4.2 Entering Telephone Numbers
Telephone numbers are entered in locations I through 4 (1st group] and 5 through 8 (2nd group). The programming format Is:
[PROG]<LOC>[#]<NUM.>[#]
A. Enter the programming mode by pressing the PROG key. The DIAL LED should light steadily.
B. Select the location for the telephone number you wish to program by keying its location (LOC) number. The DIAL LED should flash once for each keystroke.
C. Press [#] to confirm the location number. The LED should flash twice.
D. Key the telephone number (NUM), digit by digit. The DIAL LED should flash once for each digit. There is a 20-digit limit, including inter-digit pauses (see following note).
Note: To program pauses between dialed digits, as sometimes required when PABX Systems are used, the following entries are available:
After pressing [*], the LED indicator flashes until a letter key is pressed.
E. Having entered the last digit, finish off by keying [#] The DIAL LED Indicator will extinguish.
F. To program another telephone number, repeat the procedure outlined in steps A to E above.
4.3 Deleting Telephone Numbers
A telephone number location will "blank out" if you go through the programming process as in B above but skip the telephone number. The deleting format is therefore:
[PROG]<LOC>[#][#]
Note: The number already programmed into any location between 1 and 8 may be verified by using the following format:
[PROG]<LOC>[*]
This initiates a communication session with the particular telephone. and provides a chance to verify correctness of the programmed phone number.
4.4 Recording and Erasing
A. Recording Order
The verbal messages must be recorded in the order given below:
The identification segment first (details of user, or site, or both) 1st alarm segment second (description of 1st alarm type)
2nd alarm segment third (description of 2nd alarm type).
Note: Failure to comply with this rule may produce unexpected results. If so, just record again in the correct order.
The time available for all 3 segments is 20 seconds, and the maximum length of the identification segment is 15 seconds,
B. Recording Procedure
*If recording is not carried out exactly as instructed or time limits are exceeded, the DIAL LED will start flashing to indicate a recording failure. The newly recorded message as well as the old one will be lost. Record again exactly as lnstructed.
C. Erasing Recorded Messages
Press [#] - the DIAL LED flashes once. Within 2 seconds, press [AL-1 ]+[AL-2], or [AL-1] or [AL-2) depending on which message you wish to erase. Then press [#] again without recording anything. The previous message will thereby be erased.
4.5, Dealing with Pagers
You may program the DL-125C to dial a pager's phone number and send a numeric or verbal message. Communication with a single pager requires two consecutive locations in the DL-125C memory - one for the pager's phone number and another for the numeric data sent to the pager. Since each DL-125C input has 4 memory locations for phone numbers, each input can report to one pager and 2 regular telephones or just two pagers.
If the pager's phone number is entered into Location No.1, the numeric message for that pager must be entered into the next location [No.2]. If the pagers phone number is entered into Location No.2, the numeric message for that pager must be entered Into the next location [No.3].
Important! Location No.4 (the last location In the First group) and No.8 (the last location In the second group) can't be used for pager phone numbers - In both cases there is no "next location" with memory space for the message.
In the backup mode (see Para. 1 .4H), it Is advisable to use Locations 1 & 2 or 5 & 6 for pager data and the remaining locations for telephone numbers. The DL-125C will therefore call the pager first and! since the pager doesn't acknowledge, at least one of the telephone numbers will also be called.
Numeric pagers accept both the subscriber ID (PiN number) and a numeric message which is registered and forwarded to the subscriber. Voice pagers accept the subscriber ID (PIN number), record a verbal message and relay it to the subscriber.
Note: Some pagers have a special phone number assigned to each specific subscriber. This type of pager does not require a PIN number.
Some pagers require an asterisk (*) as a separator between the subscriber code and the message. Other pagers require the pound symbol (#). Correct programming is totally dependent on your ability to make the dialer "talk" to the paging company's computer in a language it "understands" (Fig. 7).
Figure 7. Typical Data Arrangement in Memory
Contact the paging company for specific Interface details (PIN or no PIN, separating characters required etc.).
Figure 6 depicts a typical arrangement of data In the DL-125C memory for reporting an event to a pager. In this example, the phone number is entered into memory location No.3, and the numeric message Is entered into the memory location No.4.
A hexadecimal E at the end of the phone number tells the dialer move to the next memory location and send the data stored in it.
A hexadecimal E at the beginning of a memory location Identifies the contents of this location as pager data. A hexadecimal E after the data serves as a cue for playing the voice message.
To program communication with a pager:
A. Reserve two consecutive memory locations in the same group of four.
B. Suppose the first location you chose is No.3. Select it by keying [PROG], <3>, [#].
4.7 Programming Chart
C. Suppose the area code is 01767 and the telephone number is 682-4725. Key in the data as exemplified in Figure 8.
D. Press [#] to confirm the data just entered.
E. Select the next memory location by keying: [PROG], <4>, [#].
[*] [4] produces a Hexadecimal E, a cue for data in the next memory location.
Figure 8. Programming the Pager's 1st Location
F. Suppose the target pager requires a 5 second interval between the end of dialing and the beginning of the message.
Also suppose that the PIN number is 9876 and the message is 39051. Key the data as shown In Fig.8.
Figure 9. Programming the Pager's 2nd Location
Notes: If the required separator is # - key [*] [1]
If the required separator is * - key [*] [2]
In case of a pager that does not forward voice messages - skip the last [*] [4].
If you need a 5-second delay anywhere within the message, key [*] [3].
G. Press [#] to confirm the data just entered.
4.6. Programming Summary
The DL-125C can be programmed equally well in the installer's office or at the Installation site. Follow the PROGRAMMING CHART (Para. 4.7) row by row, and enter the appropriate variables. The code options are explained in the second column, and the full programming sequence for each variable Is given in the fourth column. Each programming step is enclosed in square brackets, and may include more than one keystroke. The fifth column shows the default values, and the last column (Prog) is left blank for you to fill in your own programmed values.
Note: If no key is pressed for 30 seconds, programming will be aborted and the selected location will revert to the previously saved value.
To quit programming at any stage, press the [STOP] key.
ALARM PROGRAMMABLE VOICE DIALER $149
DL-125C is an automatic programmable speech dialer with two alarm inputs designed for verbal reporting of two separate events. Each event can be reported to four different remote telephones. The DL- 125G is packaged in an attractive compact housing, that includes a programming touchpad on the front panel. The touchpad permits easy operation, programming and voice recording (as many times as required) by the installer or the user
One way of using the DL- 125C is to upgrade existing alarm systems that do not have a built-in dialer. In addition, it is ideal for health care and emergency reporting. As a general assistance product, the DL-125C can be used by blind and mute individuals who require immediate assistance. It can also be used to report malfunctions or breakdowns in technical devices or processes, or used as part of a smoke and fire alarm system to provide event reporting in any language. In case of an event, the recorded message will report to a relative, neighbor, cellular phone, office, emergency services and/or numeric or voice pagers.
Once contacted by the DL-125C the designated person can monitor the installation site for sound via the built-in listen-in microphone. This feature is ideal for monitoring infants, eldedy, and disabled people, or to verify the presence of an intruder.
