Product Summary
The Dialog Telephone Interface Module (DTIM) is a bat-
tery operated communication link between the security sys-
tem control panel and 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 receives radio signals from the panel, then uses
the phone line to report security system events 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. There-
fore, the battery must be replaced immediately 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 supervi-
sory (non-working) state, which prevents system events
from being reported.
Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing the DTIM.
❑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 posi-
tion.
❑The DTIM can be connected to a standard analog
(loop-start) phone line, with or without digital sub-
scriber line (DSL) service.
Note
The DTIM cannot be used on digital or PBX phone lines,
which are designed only for digital type devices that oper-
ate 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 disconnect 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.
Tools Needed
❑Phillips screwdriver
❑Two #6 phillips-head screws (included)
❑Two wall anchors (included)
❑Pencil
Installation
This section describes programming, testing, mounting, and
phone line connections.
Programming—Adding the DTIM to Panel
Memory
This section describes the steps for adding (learning) the
DTIM into panel memory, which requires a series of mod-
ule tamper switch activations and module LED responses
(see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Tamper Switch and LED Locations
The DTIM uses a 3-2-1 tamper switch activation sequence
for learning, which causes the LED to blink in a corre-
sponding 3-2-1 sequence. You must wait for the LED to
turn off after each flash sequence before releasing the
tamper switch.
Note
The DTIM should be learned into panel memory as zone

To learn the DTIM into the panel:
Important !
Timing is the key to success with this procedure. Do not
wait more than 1-2 seconds between steps 4 and 5 or
steps 5 and 6 after releasing the tamper switch. If you
wait too long between these steps, the LED will not flash
and you will have to start over. Also, do not release the
tamper switch before the LED is done flashing or you will
have to start over.
1. Remove the DTIM cover and set it aside (see Figure 2).
Figure 2. Removing the Cover
2. With the system disarmed, enter program mode by
pressing 8 + CODE.
3. Press twice and ƒ twice. The display shows
ZONE 01 - TRIP.
4. Press the DTIM tamper switch three times, holding the
tamper switch down on the third press and wait for the
the LED to flash 3 times, then release the tamper
switch after the third flash.
5. Press the DTIM tamper switch twice, holding the
tamper switch down on the second press and wait for
the LED to flash two times, then release the tamper
switch after the second flash.
6. Press and hold the tamper switch down until the LED
flashes once, then release the tamper switch after the
flash. The panel beeps twice and the display shows the
next available sensor number.
7. Exit from program mode.
Testing
This section describes the basic steps for testing transmit-
ting 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. Straighten the antenna to a vertical position.
2. Place the DTIM in the desired location.
3. Put the panel into sensor test mode.
4. Listen for the panel piezo to sound 7 - 8 beeps. This
indicates good reception from the DTIM to the panel.
5. If you hear fewer than 7 beeps, test the DTIM in differ-
ent locations. Mounting locations should be limited to
areas where the panel responds with 7 - 8 beeps.
6. To retest transmitting range after relocating the DTIM,
press ‚ then ƒ and listen for 7 - 8 beeps.
7. Exit from test mode after determining acceptable loca-
tions.
Mounting/Receiving Antenna Positioning
After finding an acceptable mounting location (based on
testing), mount the DTIM and position the antenna as
described. The antenna can be inserted into a wall or posi-
tioned upright inside the antenna housing.
Note
For best range, it is recommended to insert the antenna
into the wall.
Mounting with Receiving Antenna in Wall
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. Remove the circuit board from the plastic housing by
pushing up on the tab and pulling the board outward
(see A in Figure 3). Place the board in the cover.
Figure 3. Removing the Circuit Board to Mark Mount-
ing and Antenna Holes
2. Mark the mounting holes and the antenna insertion hole
(see B in Figure 3).
3. Make holes in the wall for anchors at the marked loca-
tions.
4. Insert wall anchors where necessary, then use two #6
screws to secure the plastic housing to the wall.
5. Insert the antenna into the antenna insertion hole and
re-install the board onto the plastic base, bottom first
then push in at the top until it snaps in under the tab.
6. Install the protective dust cap (included in accessory
packet) in the hole located on the top-right of the DTIM
plastic housing.

Mounting with Antenna Housing
1. Hold the DTIM against the wall and mark the mounting
holes (see A in Figure 4). Be sure to leave at least 4
inches above the DTIM for the antenna housing.
Figure 4. Mounting Hole Locations and Antenna Hous-
ing Installation
2. Slide the antenna housing over the antenna and snap
the housing into the upper-right hole (see B in Figure
4).
3. Make holes in the wall for anchors at the marked loca-
tions, then insert wall anchors where necessary and
secure the module to the wall using two #6 screws.
Wiring a Phone Line to the Module
Basically, there are two methods for connecting the DTIM
to a phone line; full line seizure and no line seizure.
Full Line Seizure
This method requires that the DTIM be wired 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 dis-
connect the DTIM from the phone line in case the DTIM
disables the phone line due to a malfunction.
Full Line Seizure Wiring with an RJ-31X
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 5).
2. Connect the 4-conductor cable wires to the RJ-31X (B
in Figure 5).
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 5). Use weatherproof 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 5).
5. Connect the DB-8 cord (not included) to the RJ-31X
and the DTIM terminals (E in Figure 5).

No Line Seizure
This method is typically used where DSL (digital subscriber
line) service exists. DSL allows multiple devices on a single
phone line to be used simultaneously. Simply connecting a
standard phone cord to an available phone jack on the pre-
mises is all that is required. An in-line filter may be required
to ensure panel reporting is successful (see Figure 6).
Note
Connecting the DTIM to a standard phone (voice) line
without DSL service in this manner should be avoided.
Other devices in use at the same time the DTIM is using
the line can prevent reports from going through.
Figure 6. No Line Seizure with DSL Service
Troubleshooting
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 necessary.
❑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 nec-
essary.
❑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 con-
nected 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 battery for low voltage. 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 and
replace if necessary.
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 battery and replace it if neces-
sary.
❑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 neces-
sary, test the DTIM from other locations until an
acceptable location is found.
