AUDIO ALARM VERIFICATION (AAV)
This section provides the following information:
• General information about the AAV option
• AAV operation
• Connecting an Eagle AAV Module
• AAV programming requirements
General Information An Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) module (also known as two-way voice), such as
the Eagle 1241, is an add-on accessory that permits voice dialogue between an
operator at a central station and a person at the alarm installation, for the purpose
of alarm verification. This feature is supported only if alarm reports are
programmed to be sent to the primary phone number.
The AAV module connects from module terminals 7 & 8 to the control's zone 5
terminals 16 & 17. The purpose of this connection is to silence and restore the
sounders at the premises. It is also used to postpone non-critical dialer reports
while the AAV session is in progress. Note that zone 5 is then no longer available
as a protection zone. When using the AAV, zone 5 must be assigned a zone
response type (e.g. response type 10), and option 1*60 must be selected as 1.
In order to silence sounders on the premises, option 1*66 must be selected as 1.
If 1*66 is not enabled, conversation with the premises will be difficult (too much
noise on the premises).
AAV Module Operation After all messages have been sent during a reporting session to the primary
phone number, the control will trigger the AAV if at least one of the messages
was an alarm report. If Contact ID format is selected for the primary phone
number, and the cancel report field *81 is programmed as non-zero, the control
will send a "listen-in to follow" audio alarm verification message (event code 606),
which signals the 685 (rev. 4.6 or higher) to hold the phone connection for 1
minute.
Once triggering occurs, the control will give-up the phone line to the AAV
module, without breaking connection with the central station. During the time the
AAV is active, all sirens and all continuous keypad sounds in all partitions will be
shut off if field 1*66 is enabled. When the AAV indicates that the audio alarm
verification session is completed, all keypad sounds will be restored. Sirens will
be restored if the alarm timeout period has not expired.
As part of its fail-safe software, the control will limit all audio alarm verification
sessions to 15 minutes (this is because once the session begins, the AAV
module controls the duration). If a new fire alarm should occur during a session,
the control will break phone connection and send the new fire alarm report, then
re-trigger AAV mode. All other dialer messages triggered during on-going
conversation will be held until either the AAV module signals that it is inactive, or
the 15 minute timeout occurs.
One way to trigger the AAV module is by selecting option 3 in field 1*46 and
make connections as shown in the VOLTAGE TRIGGER diagram. Field 1*46 can
be used to set ground start, remote console sounding, or as an open/close
trigger. If any one of these functions are absolutely necessary in a given
installation, the alternative AAV trigger method is via the use of a 4204 relay as
shown in the RELAY TRIGGER diagram. If this method is selected, the start and
stop conditions for that relay must be set to choice 60 = "Audio Alarm Verification"
during relay programming, via #93 menu mode.
Some AAV modules allow remote triggering by ring detection at the alarm
installation. Please be advised that if this option is selected, it may defeat modem
download. The DIP switch settings shown on the triggering diagrams disable
remote AAV module trigger option. The control also requires that the AAV
module trigger type is falling edge, which is set in DIP switch settings shown.
