Frank Vander Wiede: Hi! I'm Frank. Welcome to step number four connecting your telephone to the alarm system. Let's review what we have so far our system is powered up, we have our transformer connected to the screw lined into that supplies the power, the positive siren terminals to three, all of our negatives to four, the positive for all of our devices and five, six and seven are the key pad data in and data out, zone number one where Honeywell is already programmed for delay zone that would have our entry doors, two doors in series with one resister; same goes for the motion detector Honeywell is already programmed in zone number two, for a motion detector it would do in series one resistor. The zones we are not using, we have a resistor across them putting them to sleep, zone number five, which is already programmed for fire with connected to our smoke detector that also has a resistor across the two screws being a normally open detector.
Now, let's move on to the phone line. It's always a good idea to bring a telephone line to the panel location, even if you don't plan on having the system monitored at the moment, you may down the road. You would either have your old fashion red and green, black and yellow wire or the newer category five wires. If you have the newer wire, the blue pair blue and blue white would be your tipping line for line number one. They would be connected to screws 19 and 20 on the control panel as shown on the door. Once you have your phone line connected to 19 and 20, your alarm will be able to call out for help if it needs to, it'll hang up when it's finished, and it'll behave like any other extension phone in your home. There is a higher form of security known as line seizure Honeywell has packaged the equipment that you need to do line seizure, it's a special phone block and a special cable. Let me show you how they get hooked up.
Using a phone cable that came with the system, separate your color so you have red, green, gray and brown, connect those terminals 17, 18, 19 and 20 as shown on the door of your system, that will give you a convenient plug that you can use to connect or disconnect the phone as required. In order to obtain a higher form of security, you can use the included RJ31 Jack that came with your system. To use this, you are going to have to have a home run phone line from where your telephone comes into house from the street to the alarm control and back again. So that will require two pairs of wires, one brings the phone line directly to the junction box first and the other will return the phone line to the rest of the house. What this does is it gives your alarm the ability to actually disconnect the household phones preventing the croak from running to the kitchen, taking the phone off the hook and stopping your system from calling for help.
Once your system has made its call, it will release the house phones back into service, its all done automatically. Let's connect your phone lines to the jack; you'll see that's color coated, the same colors as marked on the door of your system red and green, brown and gray. It would connect the incoming lines to your red and green, the wire is going back to the junction box to be joined with the rest of your house to the second pair to the brown and red. Your telephone jack can be mounted on the wall next to the control, even inside the cabinet if it doesn't matter to connect your telephone simply plug in the cable that we attached. Once plugged in the system will be able to use the phone. To stop it from using the phone, you want to plug it there is a bridging switch inside this jack that will bring your house phones connected to the outside line leaving the alarm out of the system. Thanks for joining me today. On step number five, we are going to learn how to program the system. I hope you'll join me.
