6712FR Refrigerated Sampler
Section 5 Extended Programming
5-40
When the call is answered, the sampler’s modem announces the
alarm condition (analog talking modem) or sends a digital text
message (external cellular modem), and the sampler’s three-digit
ID number. To acknowledge the call, press the
(star) key, and
the three-digit ID number on your phone. The sampler will reply
with an acknowledgment when the keyed entry is correct.
A record of alarms and acknowledgements is available in the
Sampling Report. When the sampler detects the alarm condition,
it records the type of alarm and the time it occurred. Acknowl-
edgements are a separate Sampling Report entry, recording the
time and telephone number that responded to the call.
As mentioned previously, as many as three telephone numbers
may be entered. The modem can dial up to 25 digits. Enter
numbers using the numeric keys on the sampler keypad. When
entering telephone numbers longer than 17 digits, the display
will scroll.
Extended characters, the Comma (,), Pound (#), and Star (*), also
may be included in the 25 digits. To enter an extended character,
press the Decimal Point key on the sampler keypad. The sampler
displays a screen used to select and enter the extended char-
acters. Each comma entered will cause the modem to pause for
two seconds before proceeding with the remaining digits.
Phone numbers that are no longer needed can be removed.
Advance the cursor to the end of the telephone number and then
press the Left Arrow key to erase the preceding character. If the
cursor is not at the end of the telephone number, the Left Arrow
key will only shift the cursor without erasing any characters.
Dialout telephone and pager numbers are included in the
Program Settings Report.
Note
Connecting either the serial output or the standard interrogator
cable to the sampler disables the internal dial-out modem. The
interrogator or serial output cable must be disconnected before
you can use the modem.
5.19.5 Pager Numbers The extended character screen contains a pager option that des-
ignates the phone number as a pager. When programmed as a
pager number, an identification string will be sent seven times
after the pager number is dialed, with a three second delay
between strings.
An example identification string would be “828-1”, meaning
“Alarm condition #1 exists at sampler 828”. If more than one
alarm condition exists, the string would read similar to “828-1-3.
5.19.6 Digital Modem Text
Messaging
The sampler can send alarms in the form of text messages con-
taining the same information as that found in voice messages.
To use this option, you must have:
• a cellular phone with text messaging capabilities
