Summary The Dialog Telephone Interface Module (DTIM) is a battery operated communication link
between the security system control panel and the central monitoring station. The DTIM
receives radio signals from the panel, then uses the phone line to report security system events to
the central monitoring station.
The DTIM provides added security by separating the telephone interface from the panel. If the
panel is damaged during a break-in or fire, the DTIM can still report to the central monitoring
station.
The DTIM is a supervised device that transmits supervisory signals every hour for the panel to
receive. When the battery is low, the module transmits a low battery signal.
Note
The DTIM does not have a backup power supply. Therefore, the battery must be replaced within 7 days
when a low battery condition occurs to ensure that system events can be reported. If the battery is
allowed to completely drain, the panel identifies the DTIM as being in a supervisory (non-working)
state, which prevents system events from being reported.
Tools and Supplies Needed
• Phillips screwdriver
• Mounting Hardware (included)
• Ty-wrap and Cover Screw for UL Listed installations (included)
Installation This section describes guidelines for installing the DTIM, programming, testing, mounting, and
phone line connections.
Installation Guidelines
• Before permanently mounting to a wall, test the DTIM from the desired location to ensure
communication with the panel. This means you must first add (learn) the DTIM into panel
memory, then perform a sensor test.
• Mount the module within 100 feet of the panel, but not closer than 10 feet to another DTIM
or the panel.
• Always mount the DTIM in the upright vertical position.
• The DTIM can be connected to a standard analog (loop-start) phone line, with or without
digital subscriber line (DSL) service.
Note
The DTIM cannot be used on digital or PBX phone lines, which are designed only for digital type
devices that operate anywhere from 5 volts DC and up. The DTIM uses an analog modem and does
not have a digital converter, adapter, or interface to operate with such systems.
• When connecting the DTIM to a standard analog phone line, it is recommended that you
install an RJ-31X jack (CA-38A in Canada) ahead of all phones and other devices on the line
for full line seizure. This allows the DTIM to take control of the phone line when an alarm
occurs, even if the phone is in use or off-hook. It also provides customers with a quick dis-
connect in case the DTIM malfunctions, allowing them to use their phone.
• For UL Listed installations, mount the RJ-31X jack within 5 feet of the DTIM.

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
8 + 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.
Align antenna.. ...push down until bare metal is
not visible. Repeat for other
antenna.

Mounting
After finding an acceptable mounting location (based on testing), mount the DTIM as described.
You must be free of static electricity before handling circuit boards. Touch a bare metal surface or wear
a grounding strap to discharge yourself.
1. With the cover off, place the DTIM at the desired location and mark the mounting holes (see
Figure 3 at left).
2. Make holes in the wall for anchors at the marked locations.
3. Insert wall anchors where necessary, then use two #6 screws to secure the DTIM to the wall.
Wiring a Phone Line to the Module
Connect the DTIM ahead (or in front) of all other phones, answering machines, computers, or any
other devices on the phone line. This allows the DTIM to take over (seize) the phone line, even if
another device on the line is in use.
An RJ-31X (CA-38A) jack should be installed when wiring for full line seizure. This lets the user
quickly and easily disconnect the DTIM from the phone line in case the DTIM disables the phone
line due to a malfunction.
Note
For UL Listed systems, the RJ-31X jack must be mounted within 5 feet of the DTIM.
1. Run a 4-conductor cable from the TELCO block to the RJ-31X (A in Figure 4).
2. Connect the 4-conductor cable wires to the RJ-31X (B in Figure 4).
3. Disconnect the Green and Red premises phone jack wires from the TELCO block and splice
them to the 4-conductor cable Black and White (or Yellow) wires (C in Figure 4). Use weath-
erproof wire connectors for these splices.
4. Connect the 4-conductor cable Green and Red wires to the TELCO block TIP (+) and Red to
RING (-) posts (D in Figure 4).
5. Insert the 8-conductor phone cord plug into the RJ-31X jack (E in Figure 4).
6. Remove the right knockout on the DTIM plastic,
feed the 4-conductor phone cord plug through it
and connect the plug into the DTIM phone jack
(Figure 5 at right).
Phone Test
After connecting the phone line to the DTIM, conduct
a phone test to verify reports are made to the central
monitoring station. The following steps describe the
basic steps for conducting a phone test. Refer to the
specific panel installation instructions for complete
details.
Note
You must conduct a phone test whenever the DTIM battery is replaced.
1. Call the central monitoring station to inform them you are testing the system.
2. Make sure the panel has the correct account number and central station receiver phone num-
ber programmed.
3. Enter the appropriate phone test command for the panel used in the system.
4. Contact the central monitoring station when you are finished testing.
Installing the Battery Ty-wrap and Cover Screw (UL Listed

Trouble-
shooting Note
Disconnect the phone line from the DTIM before servicing.
No Dial Tone
If there is no dial tone at on-site phones after wiring the RJ-31X jack, use the following to find the
cause.
• Wait 2 minutes and try again. The DTIM may be busy trying to report to the central station.
• Check the DB-8 cord connections at the module and RJ-31X jack. Replace the cord if neces-
sary.
• Disconnect the DB-8 cord from the RJ-31X jack. If the phone still doesn’t work, the problem
is in the RJ-31X jack wiring. Check the RJ-31X jack wiring and TELCO block wiring.
Replace the RJ-31X jack if necessary.
•Perform a phone test after troubleshooting the phone line (see your panel installation instructions
for phone test procedures).
Constant Dial Tone
• If a constant dial tone prevents you from using the phone, there may be one or more polarity-
sensitive phones on the premises. Reverse the phone wires connected to the brown and gray wire
terminals on the RJ-31X jack.
No System Response
If the system does not respond in sensor test (as described in the panel installation instructions),
try the following:
• Change the antenna position. Best range is achieved by inserting the antenna into the wall.
• Check that the DTIM battery is installed.
• Check the DTIM for a dead battery. Replace the battery if necessary.
• Use an RF Sniffer (60-401) to verify that the DTIM is transmitting.
• Verify that the DTIM was added (learned) into panel memory correctly.
Trouble Condition
• The tamper switch may have been tripped. Check that the cover is securely in place.
• The DTIM battery may be low. Check the battery, replace if necessary and conduct a phone
test.
Module Supervisory
• If the panel indicates a DTIM supervisory condition, use an RF Sniffer (60-401) to verify that
the DTIM transmits when the tamper switch is pressed. If it does not transmit, check the bat-
tery and replace it if necessary.
• If the sniffer indicates that the DTIM is transmitting, it may be out of panel receiving range.
Use the sensor test to verify that the DTIM is within panel range. If necessary, test the DTIM
from other locations until an acceptable location is found.
