Control by telephone
In addition to the ease of use offered by Cardio’s touch screen, the system can also be controlled by a
simple telephone call from either inside or outside the home (touch-tone and can be cordless). In either
case, control by telephone allows access to direct commands (alarm system, temperature, lighting,
outlets, scenes).
ATTENTION!: Under no circumstances is it possible to change Cardio’s programming by
telephone. It is recommended that a RJ45 (CA38A in Canada) digital communicator modular jack be
installed to send messages out in case of an emergency. It is imperative to install this type of jack for
telephone control from inside the house.
Access from inside the home
Go off-hook and press # on the keypad within 5 seconds to obtain access to Cardio (any longer delay will
necessitate hanging up, and starting again).
Cardio requires no access code except when modifying the alarm system (arming/disarming). A digitized
human voice guides the user through the various functions that can be modified. (refer to the telephone
operation diagram found on next page)
Access from outside the home
Just as it is possible to control Cardio from a telephone located inside the house, it is also possible to
execute the same commands from outside the home. The procedure is exactly the same as the one
described above, with the only difference being that Cardio requires a valid access code. Three invalid
access codes can be entered before Cardio will automatically hang up. (refer to the telephone operation
diagram found on next page )
When arming or disarming the alarm system, Cardio will request a valid access code.
Emergency Calls
Cardio can send emergency calls (fire, break-in, medical emergency etc.) either to a monitoring station or
to people whose telephone numbers have been previously entered in the system. Emergency calls are
clearly identified by the digitized voice. It is also possible to send both types of calls (monitoring and
emergency numbers).
Monitoring only: Cardio calls up the first number. If busy, it will call up the second number (if available)
and so on for a total of 8 calls..
Emergency numbers only: Cardio calls up the first number. If it is busy or there is no answer, it will dial
the second number and so on until all 4 numbers have been called.
Monitoring station and emergency numbers: Monitoring and emergency numbers: Cardio calls up the
monitoring station first. If there is no answer after 4 consecutive calls, it will call the first emergency
number and will stop after a total of 8 calls. If the monitoring station answers as expected, the system will
call the first emergency number after a 5-minute delay in order to give the monitoring station enough time
to call back the user.
When calling an emergency number, Cardio asks the person who answers the phone to validate the call
by pressing 7 (S) on the telephone keypad. It is only after this validation has been received that Cardio
will give the description of the emergency. If there is nobody to answer (or only an answering machine) or
if the line is busy, the system will skip to the next number and so on for a overall total of 8 calls.
