Chapter 1: IntroduCtIon
The Sensaphone® Model 400 is a fully-programmable, environmental moni-
toring system that offers extensive on-site and remote monitoring capabili-
ty to small businesses, private homes, farms, greenhouses, computer rooms,
and remote facilities. Designed for desktop or wall mounting, the Model
400 is simple to install, program and operate; no changes to standard elec-
trical or telephone service are required. When connected to a telephone
line, it will respond to an alarm by dialing up to four separate telephone
numbers. When the call is answered, an “Alert Condition” message is deliv-
ered in user recordable voice.
The Model 400 features built-in sensors to monitor a variety of conditions:
• High sound level
• AC electric power failure
• Battery backup
• Temperature*
*Note: While technically not a “built-in” sensor, temperature is factory
installed on zone 1.
The 400 is equipped with 4 alert zones. Additional sensors* can be added
to extend monitoring capabilities to include:
• Intrusion or unauthorized entry
• Water leaks and seepage
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Equipment operation
• Many other conditions that may require unique monitoring solutions
* Refer to Appendix D for information on additional sensors (available
separately from Sensaphone) best suited to your application.
The status of each monitored condition is readily obtained at the unit’s
installation site, or remotely by telephone. At the close of every Status
Report, time is provided for listening to on-site sounds.
To ensure reliable operation, the Model 400 features power backup capa-
bility; in the event of AC power failure, six C-cell alkaline batteries (not
included) will continue to power the unit for approximately 24 hours.
