Programming—Adding the DTIM to Panel Memory

Note

We recommend learning the DTIM into Allegro panels as zone 1, since zone 1 is set up to learn
into Group 36 automatically and has pre-programmed sensor text for the DTIM (PHONE MOD-
ULE).

The DTIM uses a 3-2-1 tamper switch activation sequence for learning, which causes the
LED to blink in a corresponding 3-2-1 sequence. You must wait for the LED to turn off after
each flash sequence before releasing the tamper switch (see Figure 2).

To learn the DTIM into the panel:

1. Remove the DTIM cover and install the antennas (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Antenna Installation

Note

Antennas must be installed for learning.

2. With the system disarmed, enter program mode at the Allegro panel by pressing

CODE

3. Press

twice and

ƒ twice. The Allegro display shows

ZONE

01 -

TRIP

4. Locate the DTIM tamper switch and LED (see Figure 2 at left).

Important !

Timing is the key to success with step 5. Read the complete step before you begin to help
ensure successful programming. Do not wait more than 1 second between tamper switch activa-
tions in step 5. If you wait too long, the LED will not flash and you must start over. Also, do not
release the tamper switch before the LED is done flashing or you must start over.

5. Press and release the DTIM tamper switch as follows:

Press 3 times, holding the tamper switch down on the third press until the LED flashes 3
times, then release after the third flash.

Immediately press 2 times, holding the tamper switch down on the second press until the
LED flashes 2 times, then release after the second flash.

Immediately press and hold until the LED flashes 1 time, then release the tamper switch.

6. Exit from program mode.

Testing DTIM Transmitting Range

The following describes the basic steps for testing transmitting range from the DTIM to the
panel. For complete testing instructions, see the panel installation instructions.

Note

Be sure to attach the cover onto the DTIM before testing wireless communications.

1. Place the DTIM in the desired location.
2. Put the Allegro panel into sensor test mode. The panel piezo should sound 7 - 8 beeps.

This indicates good reception from the DTIM to the panel.

3. If you hear fewer than 7 beeps, test the DTIM in different locations. Mounting locations

should be limited to areas where the panel responds with 7 - 8 beeps.

4. To retest transmitting range after relocating the DTIM, press

‚ then ƒ at the Allegro

panel and listen for 7 - 8 beeps.

5. Exit from test mode after determining acceptable locations.
