Thanks for the help! I didn't have any temperature zones configured so it wasn't on my speaking list. Once I set up a zone as type 33, there was temperature, just like you said.

I don't have the M1ZTSR temperature probe, but I am considering adding one. Is there a way to have the M1G say the temperature? As in "The Time Is [Insert Time] The Temperature Is [Insert WHAT]" Can this be done?

What should happen when the phone line to the M1G is disconnected? After about one minute the TELCO SEIZED light comes on and I hear the relay click. But a rule for WHENEVER TELEPHONE LINE FAULT IS DETECTED doesn't fire and nothing is logged. Am I missing something? Are other settings needed?

I don't know if my local phone exchange is an older system, although it is Verizon in an urban area so it is probably pretty modern. It will not wait forever for the calling party to hang up to clear an incoming call, it it does take at least 10 seconds. That is shorter than it was many years...

PARTLY SOLVED. It seems that it does matter what type of zone is violated. If a regular fire/burglar zone is violated then the panel won't wait, it will seize the phone line immediately. If the water flow is violated then the panel won't interrupt a call but will wait for the line to become...

In answer some of these questions: - Yes, I can hear the relay when the dialer does seize the line. And the LED comes on at the same time. And it does disconnect the house from the telco. It just won't do this if there is call active on the phone line, that is, if someone is talking on the...

I am pretty sure that the path the phone line takes into the panel will not affect whether it is able to seize the line. Routing it through a RJ31 won't help, and adding a few more junctions to the phone wire adds places to introduce static or bad connections on the phone line. The phone line...

No, I did not use the RJ31. The telco line goes straight the M1 terminals, the out of the M1 to the house. Actually, due to the age of the house and how it was wired, the M1 sits between the telco and the downstairs phones only, the upstairs phones also go to the telco entrance point so the M1...

I installed my M1G a month or two ago and I noticed that it will not exactly seize the phone line. If I call my home from my cell and I am in a "conversation" then set off an alarm the panel will NOT hang up the call and call the alarm company. It will patiently wait until I end the...
