SENSAPHONE 400 User’s Manual
I. model 400 Detects a Change at the Sensor Variable factors
Model 400 detects a change in the monitored
condition (from the sensor wired to one of the
zones). This is considered an alert condition, and
does not qualify as a valid alarm at this point.
The condition continues throughout the programmed
Recognition Time. If the condition (or sensor) reverts
to its normal state before the Recognition Time is
reached, no alarm will occur.
Zone Type: (1) An
open circuit closes,
(2) a closed circuit
opens, or
(3) temperature
limits are exceeded.
Recognition Time:
Activated
II. A Valid Alarm is recognized Variable factors
The condition must persist long enough to meet or
exceed the programmed Recognition Time. When
Recognition Time has expired, but the alert condition
continues, the Model 400 will determine that a valid
alarm exists.
When a valid alarm is determined, Call Delay
is activated, forcing the Model 400 to wait for a
programmed period of time before starting the dial-
out process. Call Delay applies to the period just
prior to dial-out, before the first telephone call is
made.
Call Delay provides the opportunity to cancel a valid
alarm at the Model 400’s installation site, before
dial-out occurs. An audible voice message indicates
which of the zones is in alarm. If on-site personnel
acknowledge the alarm within the Call Delay time,
the Model 400 will not dial out. (Local Voice Mute is
disabled, so that alarm messages can be heard at the
site.)
