Event Viewer (Optional)
The Event Viewer allows for a visual display of the la st 4 Events that have occurred on the M60 Alarm Dialler.
Events are either a dial-out due to an active alarm, or a call-back to cancel the M60 from continuing to dial-out.
Each Event will use a single line on the display.
Dial-out Event
A Dial-out Event will occur whenever the M60 has completed the dialling of a telephone number.
The Dial-out Event will always show the time followed by the Date and Month and then the first two active alarms separated by a comma. The last character on the line informs the user if there were no other active alarms or there are more active alarms than displayed.
Call-back/Cancellation Event
A Call-back Event will occur whenever the M60 has been called back to cancel further calls being made.
The event viewer will always show the last 4 events in sequence, running from oldest to newest.
Upgrade options include holding a higher number of events and more detail.
The M60 Alarm Auto Dialer standard features include;
- 4, 8, 16, 32 & 56 individual alarm inputs / channels.

The M60 Alarm Dialler Has Just Been Released!
The M60 Alarm Dialler has just been released! This is a direct replacement for our popular M30 “Ultimate” Alarm Dialler that has been in production since the early 2000’s. The M60 is now the 10th different model of Alarm Diallers we have produced since our company’s inception in 1958.
The M60 was created to give our customers the most advanced & modern Alarm Dialler system possible. We asked our customers what they would like to see on our next version and we have done our best to integrate the requested new features or offer them as optional extras.
On top of all the standard features you would expect on an Alarm Dialler, the M60 now offers the below features;
- Protected number storage.
- The M60 now stores its numbers in its permanent storage, so it will not lose them even if the power is removed for years at a time.
- Cut-out termination plate
- The M60 now comes with a screen printed termination plate to allow reset and test buttons to be easily fitted either as standard or as a retro fit by a customer.
- SMS
- The M60 now gives the option to send SMS alarm text messages on top of or instead of standard voice communication.
- GSM
- The M60 now offers a full time mobile/cell phone connection if there is no land line present or the M60 can automatically swap over to it as backup facility if the landline fails.
- Integrated lone worker (Optional Extra)
- The M60 now allows you to have an integrated Lone Worker system. The M60 Lone Worker once activated requires a lone worker to press a local or remote button every x seconds, if they fail to do so it will issue a warning and then send an alert out to the on call personal.
- Control Outputs (Optional Extra)
- The integrated switched outputs can be set up to turn items on or off during certain occurrences or remotely via the phone line.
- CTR (Optional Extra)
- With the M60 each individual input/channel can have its own dedicated list of alarm contact numbers. This means that for example channel 1 could phone the fire brigade and channel 2 could phone the on call engineer.
- Analogues (Optional Extra)
- The M60 can have up to 4 Analogue signals connected; this can also be used with data logging.
- Timed Roster (Optional Extra)
- The Timed Roster option allows you to automatically switch between your rosters at certain times of the day/week. E.g. you might have a Day Roster, Night Roster and Weekend Roster.
- Integrated ADSL/Fibre phone filter (Coming Soon)
- The M60’s LIM board will have an integrated filter fitted so you can easily have ADSL or fibre on the same phone line without any interference.

New V50 software released for the M30 Alarm Dialer
The new V50 software version has many new features and improvements, but the main changes are listed below.
 New V50 software released for the M30 Alarm Dialer Keypad
The M30 will now automatically progress to the next slot after a phone number has been added or edited.
The only exception is if it is already at the last slot in that roster/group.
Delays
All Dial out delays on the M30 can now be skipped over/though by simply pressing the “ESC” key.
This includes the Input delay, Inter-dial out delay and the Extended pause delay.
Number Skip Dial out Feature
The M30 now gives you the ability to manually select the number to be dialed from the currently selected roster.
For example during your weekly tests you don’t want to disturb the person in Dial out 2 as they are on holiday, with this feature you can just skip over them and jump straight Dial out 3.
When “TEL” appears on the display press the “ESC” key and you will hear a small beep. You can now use the down arrow to cycle though all the Dial out slots in the currently selected roster. (Every time you press the down arrow you will see the Dial out slot number change.)
If you go too far just keep pressing the down arrow, and the M30 will loop around.
When you are happy press the “ESC” key again and the M30 will carry on from the chosen number.

CTR Channel to Roster Software Upgrade
On a Standard M30 on when dialing it will select the Duty Roster set by the User (1,2 or 3). The current Duty Roster selected is shown on the top right of the LCD display (e.g. R1, R2, R3).
CTR Channel to Roster Software Upgrade
The Channel to Roster software works differently. When an alarm becomes active, instead of the M30 dialling out on one of the Duty Rosters, the M30 will automatically select a Roster linked to that alarm channel.
So for Example;
If Channel 1 is activated it will dial Roster 1.
If Channel 5 is activated it will dial Roster 5.
If Channel 10 is activated it will dial Roster 10 etc.
This software upgrade is great for when you need to communicate different alarms to different people for example the fire brigade for the fire alarm and the maintenance department for the Air Conditioning in the server room.
This new feature is available either as an option on a new M30 or as a simple software upgrade on a current machine.

Multi Channel Active Alert Feature
As of the Summer of 2013 we have added another new feature to our M30 Alarm Dialler, the ability to setup a default “Multi Channel Active” alert message.
On a standard M30 when you get an alarm call, the M30 will play a message detailing every current active alarm, this can take a while if there are lots of active alarms, especially on a 16 or 56 channel machine.
With the “Multi Channel Active” feature if more than 4 (default is 4 but is alterable) channels/inputs are active the M30 will play a short user recordable message e.g. “There are Multiple Alarms Active, call back or interrogate for more information”.
If you want to know exactly what channels are active you just have to phone the M30 back to cancel the alarm or perform a standard integration, and as per a normal machine the M30 will list all the active channels.
This new feature is available either as an option on a new M30 or as a simple software upgrade on a current machine.

SMS Text Message Feature
As of the winter of 2012/13 we have added another new feature to our M30 Alarm Dialler, the ability to send SMS messages in addition to the standard voice messages.
Each input/channel on the M30 can be configured with a user defined text message of around 25 ASCII characters – so instead of a recipient getting a useless “channel 1” alarm they can receive a useful “Mains Failure Boiler one” message.
This feature is in addition to the standard voice message option so you can still setup and send user recordable voice messages over the PSTN networks or over the GSM networks with the GSM converter.
Setup
Setting up your M30 is very simple; while entering your alarm contacts phone numbers you can select whether the recipient should get a SMS or a voice message.
The station identification is a maximum of 31 ASCII Characters.
All inputs can have an individual identifying text message of up to 25 ASCII characters.
Operation
When the M30 detects an active alarm/s it will send an individual SMS message for each active input to the predefined recipients. E.g. if 4 inputs are active then the on call engineer would get 4 SMS’s.
Message Example
Each SMS message is created from the M30’s Station ID (in <> brackets) and the inputs individual message and then followed by an *End of Message*.
E.g. If channel 1 is in alarm the M30 will send a text message as follows:
<Packs Infotel Office> Channel 1 Alarm Condition *End of Message*
or
<Sunningdale Landfill> Mains Failure Boiler one *End of Message*
For more information of the SMS upgrade visit the SMS Feature page or the SMS section on our Blog.

How to change the Model 30 Alarm Dialler Software
The software that controls the M30 can be found on the CPU board, located on the back of the M30 membrane/front panel.
IMPORTANT: Before changing the M30 software ALL power MUST be disconnected from the M30. To do this first remove the
Mains power, this could be done at the source, or by simply pulling out the fuse holder located on the Mains block inside the
M30.
It should be noted that the M30 still has power (I.e. The display is still showing information). This is due to the battery back-up
inside the M30. To disconnect the battery back-up simply press the OFF button located on the Power Supply board, as shown
in the diagram below, (N.B. The termination plate needs to be removed before access can be made to the mains block and OFF
button).
When all power has been removed from the M30, there will be NO input indicators lit and the LCD display will be blank, the
software can now be safely changed.
To obtain access to the software remove the 4 retaining screws shown in the diagram above. The Membrane can now be
removed from the chassis. (Note: there is a cable that connects the CPU to the Power supply, this does not need to be
disconnected, but it may be easier to fit the software by removing the cable from the CPU board).
The software is stored in the EPROM and can be located by a White label clearly showing the current software version.
Below is an example of an EPROM with the software version M30V40STD8, yours may well be different.
 Before removing the old software, note the direction the small notch at the top of the EPROM is facing. Now using a small
screwdriver, remove the old software and replace it with the new software, ensuring that the notch is facing in the same
direction as the old software.
The M30 can now be put back together, I.e. reconnecting the ribbon cable (if removed), placing the CPU/membrane back in to
the chassis, re-inserting the retaining screws. Once done the only thing left to do is reconnect the Mains and allow the M30 to
re-initialise.
IMPORTANT: It is absolutely vital that the M30 is now tested for all events. (I.e. All alarms are checked and the M30 is tested
for dialling out, and interrogation.
IF THE M30 HAS THE KEYPAD FACILITY, THE TELEPHONE NUMBERS WILL NEED TO BE RE-ENTERED.

The M30 Auto Dialler can now send SMS Alarm Messages instead of or as well as Real Speech Messages.
The upgrade is available to be supplied with a new Auto Dialler or as a retro upgrade to a currently installed machine.
This is ideal for people who want a visible alarm message instead of an audible message or for logging alarms.
But you need to bare in mind that SMS messages are not a guaranteed service i.e. the message might arrive instantly, in 5 minutes or 5 hours. Also if your phone is out of reception when the SMS message is sent very often there is an extended delay for delivery.
