Figure 2-4. Installing the Telephone Line
On the back of the Model 1108 is a female telephone jack.
This is provided so that a telephone or other answering device
may be used on the same line as the unit. It is not necessary to
hook up a telephone for the Model 1108 to operate.
2.8 The Microphone
The Model 1108 is provided with a built-in microphone which
is used to monitor high sound levels produced near the installa-
tion site. The sensitivity of the microphone is configurable and
will detect a continuous as well as a beeping alarm.
Other programming options that apply to the microphone
include setting the length of time before a high sound causes an
alarm.
If this sound level exists for 8 consecutive seconds (default) or
for the programmed length of time, the Model 1108 will dial
out with an alarm message.
