- How the monitoring system works when it detects an alarm condition
- What to do when the monitoring system calls someone at a programmed telephone number
- A voice message will advise the type of alarm condition and instruct the person answering to enter a response code by pressing and holding the “#” key to “Acknowledge” the alarm, or pressing the “*” key followed by the “0” key to “Disable” the monitoring system. The sequence of the message is as follows:
- What happens when the call is “Acknowledged” by pressing and holding the “#” key?
- The monitoring system will sound a 3-second continuous tone at which time the "#" key can be released. The monitoring system will then disconnect and return to a monitoring mode. It will wait one hour and, if the alarm condition is still present, will repeat the outgoing call sequence. This routine of calling at 1-hour intervals will continue until the alarm condition no longer exists OR the monitoring system is “Disabled” by pressing the “*” key followed by the “0” key in sequence to turn the monitoring system off (see following paragraph). Once the alarm condition no longer exists, the monitoring system will return to the monitoring mode and will make no further calls until a new alarm condition occurs.
- If a different alarm condition is detected during any of the one hour increments that the monitoring system is waiting to make the next call, the monitoring system will then wait only 5 minutes before beginning a new outgoing call sequence to indicate that there are multiple alarm conditions.
- What happens when the monitoring system is “Disabled” by pressing the “*” key followed by the “0” key in response to a call?
- The monitoring system will sound a 3-second continuous tone at the called phone and then disconnect and “Disable” itself. NO FURTHER MONITORING OF ALARM CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR, AND NO FURTHER OUTGOING CALLS WILL BE MADE TO INDICATE AN ALARM CONDITION UNTIL THE MONITORING SYSTEM IS RESET AT THE CONTROL PANEL.
- IMPORTANT – In order to have the monitoring system return to normal so that it can monitor alarm conditions and make outgoing calls, someone will have to manually turn the ON / OFF switch on the monitoring system control panel first to OFF and then back to ON. This should be done at the same time you, or someone you notify, visits the premises to correct the problem.
- What to do if you are at the monitored premises?
- The monitoring system will also alert you to an alarm condition when the premises are occupied but when you might not otherwise be aware, such as during the night. Upon detecting a single or multiple alarm condition, the control panel will emit a 5-second continuous tone. This will be followed by a 5-second tone at 5-minute intervals thereafter.

Installation Instructions
Tools Required
#2 Phillips screwdriver for wall anchors, #1 Phillips screwdriver for cover retaining screw and 3/16” drill if attaching the
mounting base using the included Phillips screws and wall anchors. Only screwdriver for cover retaining screw is required
if you use the Velcro
TM
strips provided.
Step-by Step Installation Procedure
1. Remove all packaging.
2. Remove the cover retaining screw on the front of the unit.
3. Remove the mounting base from the back of the monitoring system control panel by
pressing button on the control panel to release. (See diagram in STEP 3).
4. Install supplied 9 V alkaline battery in battery compartment of control panel.
IMPORTANT - When first installing or changing the battery, disconnect all phone
lines from the alarm control panel. Battery must be alkaline.
5. Choose to maintain or disable the factory pre-set low-temperature (TEMP) alarm function
located inside the main control panel. The alarm is pre-set to ON.
With the control panel removed from the mounting base, locate the dipswitch on the
circuit board. (See photo in STEP 5)
STEP 5
• To de-activate the low-temperature alarm, slide the TEMP switch away from the ON
position.
The alarm can be re-activated at any time by sliding the switch to the ON position.
6. Set Pulse/Tone switch on top of monitoring system control panel housing to match your
phone system. (See diagram for STEPS 6 & 7).
7. Set “Call Delay Time” switch on top of control panel housing for the desired delay time the
monitoring system is to wait before making the first outgoing telephone call to indicate an
alarm condition. Choose either 5 or 30 minutes. (See diagram for STEPS 6 & 7).
8. Locate a suitable location for the mounting base of the monitoring system control panel,
preferably within three feet of both an accessible telephone jack and a 120-Volt electrical
outlet. If installing beyond three feet from the telephone jack, you will need to purchase a
longer telephone cord. Install mounting base with screws (included) or Velcro strips
(included). Use anchors if installing into drywall or plaster. For appearance, adjust as level
as possible. (See diagram for STEP 8.)
9. Replace the monitoring system control panel on its mounting base by fitting then snapping
into place. Insert the cover screw in the hole to the right of the on/off switch and tighten,
securing the control panel to the base.
10. Connect telephone cord to the "To Wall Phone Jack" on the bottom of the control panel
housing (3 foot telephone cord is included)
11. Connect answering machine, telephone, or fax
machine to the "To Phone" jack on the bottom of
the control panel housing using an existing
telephone cord.
12. Plug AC adapter into a 120-Volt electrical outlet.
Insert the plug on the AC adapter into the
“Power Jack” on the bottom of the control panel
housing.
13. If using the remote water sensor, plug the
telephone line from the water sensor into the
"Water Sensor Jack". Additional telephone line
up to 100 feet (purchased separately) can be
patched between the control panel and the
Water Sensor. Do not exceed 100 feet.
