SENSAPHONE 1800 User’s Manual
CHAPteR 7: oPeRAtIon
After installation and programming have been completed, the Sensaphone
1800 is fully operational. This chapter explains how the 1800 operates.
ALARM DIALOUT AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
There are three stages to a complete alarm event: 1) Alarm Recognition, 2)
Alarm Notification, 3) Acknowledgment. Note that not all alert conditions
will go through each stage. For example, some may not meet the recogni-
tion time.
ALARM RECOGNITION
1. The 1800 monitors eight zones plus sound level and power failure.
When the status of a zone changes or exceeds user-programmed limits, it
causes an alert condition.
2. If the alert condition lasts long enough to meet its programmed
recognition time, the alert condition becomes an alarm and the 1800
begins the alarm notification sequence.
ALARM NOTIFICATION
The 1800 can make two types of phone calls: Voice and Numeric Pager.
DIALOUT NOTE: CALL PROGRESS
The 1800 monitors call progress when dialing out. If the 1800 dials out and
encounters a busy signal or no answer after 10 rings, the unit hangs up,
waits the programmed intercall delay time, and then dials the next phone
number.
Dial-tone and call-progress detection may optionally be disabled.
ALARM DIALOUT—VOICE
When dialing out to a destination programmed as “voice,” the 1800 waits
for the phone to be answered, then recites its user-recorded identification
message, then the message identifying the zone or zones that have gone into
alarm.
Below is an example of what the 1800 might say during a typical “voice”
dialout:
“Hello, this is 555-2278, ‘Acme Medical Laboratory,’ Zone One,
‘Temperature in Refrigerator One,’ a high temperature alarm
exists, it is now 50 degrees Fahrenheit, too high. Listen to sound
for ten seconds.”
