SENSAPHONE 1800 User’s Manual
PROBLEM 2
False power-out alarms.
Programmed Recognition Time is too short.
AC power may be subject to brief interruptions. To avoid frequent, false
alarms, increase the power Recognition Time. Refer to Chapter 4.
PROBLEM 3
The 1800 does not recognize power failure.
a) Battery is either incorrectly installed or drained: To verify proper bat-
tery function, unplug the unit and verify continued operation using
battery only. If unit ceases to function, replace the battery. Refer to
Appendix B.
b) Recognition time setting is too long: Reprogram Recognition Time. Set
the Recognition Time to the minimum required before a valid alarm
occurs. If possible, test the condition by deliberately creating an alert
condition. Refer to Chapter 4.
PROBLEM 4
The 1800 does not recognize any alarm.
a) Zones for alarm are disabled: Enable the zones for alarm. See
Chapter 4.
b) Programmed Recognition Time is too long: Reprogram Recognition
Time. Set the Recognition Time to the minimum required for a moni-
tored condition to become a valid alarm. If possible, test the condition
by deliberately creating an alert condition.
PROBLEM 4
The 1800 does not recognize any alarm.
a) Zones for alarm are disabled: Enable the zones for alarm. See Chapter
