I have set up a response to dial out when certain users disarm the
system. The final line of the response calls the Family Care
non-detector alarm with response code 88 (Do Alarm, User). I intended
this to dial out reporting \"Home safe sign in, User xx\" but I just get
the \"security off\" phrase with no user reported. Is this a vocab queuing problem or have I
missed something?

The better way to do this is to use the Security Off alarm, enable the dialout to one or more phones, and in the Alarm Response, create this response
If UserNo <> 6 Then
Limit DialOut
End If
If the specified user disarms, then Limit Dialout with no parameters disables the dialout. If the User (6 in the example) disarms, then there is no Limit Dialout so the dialout proceeds
The system will dial out only when the user disarms the system
When you answer the call the system announces \"Security Off\"
To hear the user who signed in, you have to sign in, the system will announce
\"Security Off. user 6\" or if the user has a name recorded, eg \"Peter\" it will say \"Security Off. Peter\"
The Limit Dialout action allows dialout to the numbers selected
eg Limit Dialout !+2 means allow dialout to 1 and 2 only
This action should be used in the Alarm Response to limit dialout to selected numbers

Thanks Chiu.
I agree there are several ways of setting up the monitoring process. I adapted mine from one of the application guides available and it works OK. The main point was why when a response calls a specified alarm the allocated phrase was not announced on dialout nor logged (\"home sign-in\" doesn\'t come up in the log either). I\'ll do some more testing.
On a related issue, what event in the system calls the Familycare non-detector alarm?

The issue may be whether the Homesafe sign in alarm was triggered, as I dont have your ccl file, and cannot find the application guide which shows this method.
The system should announce the current alarm so if it is announcing security off, it may not be the Homesafe alarm which caused the dial out
The Home Safe alarm is activated by a Monitor C Zone Type (17). It cam be used for monitoring a non-alarm zone via dial-out, Family Care alarm is an Idle alarm, ie has low priority
