Frank: Hi! This is Frank. Welcome to step number six, adding an optional voice dialer to your do it yourself on the alarm kit. I get asked it everyday, how to get telephone notification of an alarm event without a monthly monitoring fee. Well, all of these professional Honeywell systems have dialers build in there, but they are not voice dialers, they are digital, they made the link up to an alarm central station computer, upload the account information and alarm event at that time a real person would take over and try and get you the correct response that notify the police department if that's what you want or your security gate or whatever it is that you want done when you have an alarm, these people will take care of it.
We have a national monitoring service that monitors all of our systems and they are able to not only get you the proper response that you need, but they can get information for your insurance company, if you have a loss, batch number police report number things like that. But there is a monthly pay for that service and it's certainly not for everyone. An alternative is to add a voice dialer to your system. The optional voice dialer will give you the ability to record a personal announcement, put in for telephone numbers, if you have an alarm event the dialer will automatically dial these four telephone numbers and repeat your message. It's a very simple process to connect, let me show you how.
Your dialer can go inside your alarm cabinet or mounted on the wall next to it, it doesn't require a separate power supply; it'll be connected directly to the power supply for your accessories of the alarm control. So if your system has to go to battery back up, it'll take the dialer along with it. Your dialer comes with two cables that plug directly into the dialer one is for the telephone it's got a red and a green, which will connect to your telephone line, you no longer connect the phone to the alarm control and you don't program any of the telephone features of the control. The second cable also plugs directly into the dialer that contains a red and black and the yellow and white. The red and black are your auxiliary power, they get connected to screws number four and five just like your motion detectors or your keypad red for positive, black for negative. The white and the yellow, however are your trigger, they are going to be connected to your siren screws three and four. If any time your system has an alarm event, it'll sound the siren, as soon as the siren triggers the dialer will begin dialing the phone numbers that you've programmed and repeat the voice message that you put in there.
One last thing about the voice dialer is it's able to be connected to any alarm system. So if you have a system that's not being monitored, you want to add telephone notification to it, it can pick it back to any system just as it did to this do yourself kit and allow you to have telephone notification of all of your alarm events. Thanks for joining me in this series, assembling you do it yourself home alarm kit. I hope we've answered all of your questions, remember our technical support it's free. If you have any problems putting your system together and you think that we forgot to answer, give me a call we'll walk you through this set up. Thanks.
