Sensaphone ® Express II User’s Manual
• Express II detects a change in the
monitored condition (from the sensor
wired to one of the inputs). 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.

• The condition must persist long enough
to meet or exceed the programmed
Recognition Time. When Recognition
Time has expired, (or if set to zero),
and the alarm condition continues, the
Express II will determine that a valid
alarm exists.
• When a valid alarm is determined, Call
Delay is activated (if not set to zero),
forcing the Express II 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 Express II’s
installation site, before dial-out occurs. An
audible voice message indicates which of
the inputs is in alarm. If on-site personnel
acknowledge the alarm within the Call
Delay time, the Express II will not dial
out. (Local Voice Mute is disabled, so
that alarm messages can be heard at the
site.)
