FIG. 14 shows an operational flowchart of transmission control.

It is determined whether or not the telephone T is in use (701), and if it is in use, (701) is repeated. When not in use, determine whether or not an incoming call is in progress (702); when in call,
Repeat from (701) again. When not on a call,
Switch the office line (703), determine whether the extension is selected (704), transmit a 0 signal when selected (705), form a station loop when not selected (706), Both lights the notification lamp (70
7) Automatically dial the report destination set in the report setting switch (not shown) 708) and determine whether the management center C has received our response signal 709
), when receiving, transmission control 1h! The transmission protocol flowchart according to each regulation is executed (710), the notification lamp is turned off (711), and a judgment is made based on whether the sensor detects whether the same abnormal signal continues or not.72
1) When the sensor is not detecting, end the transmission function control (722).

When the sensor is detecting, it is determined whether a predetermined time (20 minutes) has elapsed (723), and when 20 minutes have elapsed, the following steps are repeated in order to notify the management center C again (701). When the abnormal signal continues, and another abnormal signal occurs, the previous abnormal signal and the current abnormal signal are combined and sent as the first notification. Furthermore, if 20 minutes have passed since the successful completion of the notification to the management center C (the same applies after 40 minutes), the process advances to (722). If no reception has been received, it is determined whether 40 seconds have elapsed (713), and if 40 seconds have not elapsed, the local loop is released (714), and then (701) and subsequent steps are repeated.

When 40 seconds have elapsed, it is determined whether or not the number of outgoing calls in automatic dialing has reached 3 (715), and if it has not reached 3, proceed to (714), and when it has reached 3,
The station loop is released (716). When automatic dialing is performed again, it is necessary to determine whether 5 minutes have elapsed.717)
8) If the time has not elapsed, repeat (718). When the time has elapsed, (701) the following steps are repeated. When automatic dialing is not performed again, it is determined whether automatic dialing has been performed again (719), and when automatic dialing is not performed again, it is determined that there is no abnormality and the control is terminated (720).
. When performing automatic dialing again and again, it is difficult to judge whether 5 minutes have passed (721), and if not, (721)
is repeated, and when the time has elapsed (701), the following steps are repeated.
