Congratulations on your purchase of the Cell682 by Sensaphone.
The Cell682 is a powerful monitoring, alarm, and control system. Its built-in wire-
less technology means you won’t need a telephone line to communicate with the
unit. It can monitor and control your environment and equipment using eight dry
contact inputs, six analog inputs, built-in power failure detection, and two relay
outputs. It can perform simplex or duplex alternating pump control using a level
transducer or float switches. The unit can also perform machine-to-machine con-
trol among multiple Cell682 devices. Up to 8 machine-to-machine control algo-
rithms can be configured per device so that input conditions on one Cell682 can
logically control outputs on another using simple, fill-in-the-blank, comparison
programming. The unit features several communication options including: voice
telephone call, e-mail, and text messaging. You can also request a status report
from any e–mail compatible device. The Cell682 is fully programmable via the
included Cell682 Software package for Windows or through the unit’s web page at
www.Cell682.com. Activation of a wireless messaging plan required.
The Cell682 will produce a web page of input and output status and alarm
acknowledgement history that can be viewed at www.cell682.com. You can also
program the unit or control outputs from the web page. The Cell682 is the ulti-
mate choice for remote monitoring and control where telephone lines are non-
existent or too expensive. Applications include pump houses, cable TV huts,
remote equipment rooms, and tower light monitoring.
On the front of the unit are LED indicators to show the operating status (Power,
Battery OK, In-Range, Registered, Alarm, and Outputs). All programming is
stored in nonvolatile memory so that all programming is retained even without
power. A complete status report of all monitored conditions can be retrieved via
e-mail for viewing on a computer or text messaging device. The Cell682.com web
page can be updated on demand to allow viewing of the current conditions at the
site from any internet-connected computer. The unit comes in a plastic NEMA-4X
enclosure with internal rechargeable battery backup, power supply and antenna.
