Chapter 6: Operation
Below is an example of what Sensaphone 2000 will say when you
call it back to acknowledge a typical alarm:
“Hello, this is (ID message)”
Input 1, closed, alarm exists
“Hello, this is (ID message)”
Input 1, closed, alarm exists
“Hello, this is (ID message)”
Input 1, closed, alarm exists
“Enter acknowledgment code.”
Sensaphone 2000 will now wait 5 seconds for the Touch-Tone
acknowledgment code to be entered. After the last digit of the
acknowledgment code has been received, Sensaphone 2000 will
respond by saying, “Alarm Acknowledged.” The alarm has been
acknowledged and the unit will hang up. Once the alarm has been
acknowledged, the dialout process stops.
If the Touch-Tone acknowledgment code is not received, Sensaphone 2000 will respond by saying: “beep,” “error,” “goodbye.” The
alarm has not been acknowledged. Sensaphone 2000 will hang up
and wait for a callback acknowledgment. This waiting period is
called the “intercall delay time.” During this time you may call the
unit back from a Touch-Tone phone. Wait for the unit to beep.
Then hit any key on the phone, and the unit will give a voice report.
Once you receive the complete report, enter the code to acknowledge the alarm (and acknowledgment ID if chosen). NOTE: An
alarm cannot be acknowledged using a pulse (rotary) telephone.
TIP: When Sensaphone 2000 is programmed to make
calls to alphanumeric pagers, make sure the intercall
delay time is long enough to give the person carrying
the pager some time to get to a phone to call the unit
back.
Alarm Acknowledgment -Automatic (Max Calls)
Sensaphone 2000 has the ability to acknowledge itself by using the
Max Calls function. The unit keeps a count of the number of phone
calls it makes for a particular alarm. Once the number of calls made
reaches Max Calls, Sensaphone 2000 will acknowledge the alarm
and stop the dialout process.
