TELEPHONE ACCESS MODULE

DESCRIPTION

The Telephone Access Module (TAM) is designed

with a dial-in and dial-out capability.

You can dial-in to your home number and have the

TAM give you voice messages concerning the status

of your system such as the indoor temperature

setting, outdoor temperature, and indoor humidity

level as well as alert messages. You can also change

the thermostat setting(s) for heating and cooling by

dialing in to your home number.

The TAM can dial-out to multiple phone numbers to

deliver system alerts such as a low battery,

temperature above or below its configured limit, or a

furnace air filter that needs to be replaced.

The TAM can share a telephone line with most

answering machines and voice mail systems. The

TAM can be prompted to pick up a call to gain access

to the HVAC system before the answering machine or

voice mail are enabled. Additionally, the TAM is

equipped with an emergency telephone line

disconnect feature activated when another receiver in

the premise is picked up while the TAM is connected.

Full access to the TAM is given when the complete

pass code is entered when prompted. Limited access

is given (to contractors) when the last five digits of the

entered Contractor telephone number is entered.

Contractor access is limited to the W8735D Alert

History.

Battery Indicator

Fig. 1. Battery Status LED indicator.

A light emitting diode (LED) indicator on the front

panel of the TAM illuminates to provide information

about the status of the battery:

• Steady Green LED indicates the battery is good

• Flashing Green LED indicates the battery is low

• Alternating Green/Red flashing LED indicates the

battery is missing or dead

IMPORTANT:

If the battery LED indicator is flashing green or

green/red, replace the battery immediately (see

“Battery Installation” on page 5).

Replace the battery annually and/

or before leaving for an extended

period of time.

Battery Installation

The Telephone Access Module requires a 9-volt

alkaline battery (not included) to provide power to the

unit during a power outage in order to allow the unit to

dial-out an alert indicating an extended power

interruption. (See “Alert Messages” on page 8.)

CAUTION

Dead or Missing Battery Hazard.

Can prevent Telephone Access Module

from dialing power outage alert.

Check battery annually or before leaving for

extended absence.

To install or replace the battery:

1. Press the latch on the top of the battery cover

and pull it down and away (Fig. 2).

2. Connect the battery leads to the 9-volt battery.

3. Insert the battery into the compartment.

4. Insert the bottom tabs of the battery cover into

the slots on the case, then swing the battery

cover up and in until the top latch engages. Fig. 2. Installing the Battery.

OPERATING YOUR TELEPHONE

ACCESS MODULE

During the installation of your Telephone Access

Module (TAM), the installer connected the unit to an

available telephone jack in your home and configured

the number of rings needed before the TAM answers

a call.

A quick reference card (form 69-

2011) is included with the TAM.

Use this wallet card to help you

with the menu items, alerts, and

zone names.

The TAM is equipped with an emergency telephone

line disconnect feature activated when another

receiver in the premises is picked up while the TAM is

connected.

To test the disconnect feature:

While connected on a call to the TAM, flick the

receiver hook a few times in order for the TAM to

hang up and for you to receive a dial tone.

Calling Your Telephone Access Module

Carefully review the Main menu (see Fig. 4 on

page 11) before operating your TAM.

IMPORTANT:

The TAM is designed to provide remote tele-

phone access to your thermostat settings and

information. To access this information or make

changes, you must connect with the TAM from

an outside line. If you want to access the TAM

from within the home, you need to use a second

phone line or call from a cellular telephone.

IMPORTANT:

When interfacing with the W8735D make sure to

always press firmly and fully on the telephone

key. Fast or light key presses can result in

missed inputs.

IMPORTANT:

When dialing into the W8735D from a cellular

telephone, make sure the reception is good.

Faulty reception can result in missed key pad

entries and eventual time-outs and hang ups.

The TAM can share the line with your telephone

answering machine or voice mail.

7 69-2028—01

IMPORTANT

Set the proper number of rings for the TAM to

avoid interfering with voice mail or an answering

machine.

To access the TAM when the phone line is shared

set the number of rings the TAM will wait until it

answers to one more than the device sharing the

line:

For example, If your answering machine answers

in four rings, set the TAM to answer in five rings.

1. Call the TAM and let the phone ring two times.

2. Hang up.

3. Call again within 30 seconds.

4. The TAM picks up the second call.

5. The TAM voice message asks you to respond to,

“Welcome to the telephone access center.

Please enter your pass code followed by the #

key.”

Welcome Announcement

Fig. 3. Dial-in Sequence.

When the TAM answers the call, you hear “Welcome

to the telephone access center.” next you hear:

a. A voice prompt to enter your pass code

followed by the # key

b. The alert messages (if any)

c. The current date and time (if already set)

d. The outdoor temperature (if available)

e. The indoor humidity (if available)

The remainder of this section describes each of the

five listed items (a through e).

Pass Code

When the TAM answers your call, you will be asked to

respond to the voice prompt, “Please enter your pass

code followed by the # key.”

This is your four-digit pass code. You can change this

pass code any time by entering the Pass Code menu.

See Fig. 4 on page 11.

During installation a unique pass code should have

been set and the number written on the inside of the

TAM cover. For complete instructions see “Pass Code

Menu” on page 14.

NOTE: The TAM’s default pass code are the four

digits - 1 2 3 4.

Alert Messages

The TAM indicates any unacknowledged alert

message immediately after you enter your pass code.

NOTE: If an alert condition still exists but has previ-

ously been acknowledged, the alert is not

repeated.

If there are any unacknowledged alert messages, you

hear this message, “The (alert description) alert from

(channel/zone) occurred on (date) at (time).”

See Table 1 for a list of the alert messages and

corresponding causes.

See “Acknowledging Alert Messages” on page 9 to

acknowledge an alert.

For additional information, see “Changing Your

Telephone Access Module Settings” on page 10.

ACKNOWLEDGING ALERT MESSAGES

You hear “To acknowledge receipt of this alert

message, press the # key.”

After the alert message is announced, the TAM

prompts you to acknowledge the message. If there is

more than one active alert message, the TAM

announces the next message, and continues until all

alerts are announced.

NOTE: When you acknowledge the alert message by

pressing the # key, you are clearing the dial-in

alert message and also clearing the dial-out

alert. You are not correcting the condition that

caused the alert.

IMPORTANT

Pressing any other key (besides the # key)

ignores the acknowledgement so it remains an

active alert. The TAM continues to dial out until

an acknowledgement is received.

IMPORTANT:

After receiving an alert, it is important to take

appropriate action immediately. See “Alert

Menu” on page 15 for more information on dial-

out alerts.

Once all alerts are announced, the TAM announces

the current date, time, outdoor temperature and

indoor relative humidity (if available).

exits the call and you hear “Thank for using the

telephone access center. Good bye.” before the TAM

hangs up.

NOTE: Simply hanging up the phone also terminates

the call after a 30 second delay.

CHANGING YOUR TELEPHONE

ACCESS MODULE SETTINGS

IMPORTANT:

The Telephone Access Module (TAM) is

designed to allow remote telephone access to

your thermostat settings and other system

information. To access this information or make

changes, you must connect with the Telephone

Access Module from an outside line. If you want

to access the Telephone Access Module locally,

you must use a second telephone line or a

cellular telephone.

IMPORTANT:

When interfacing with the TAM make sure to

always press firmly and fully on the telephone

key. Fast or light key presses can result in

missed inputs.

IMPORTANT:

When dialing into the TAM from a cellular

telephone, make sure the reception is good.

Faulty reception can result in missed key pad

entries and eventual time-outs and hang ups.

All changes are made using the Main menu

selections.
