After installation and programming have been completed, the Cell682 is fully
operational. This chapter explains how the Cell682 operates.
part one: alarM notification and acknowledgMent
There are 3 stages to a complete alarm event: 1) Alarm Recognition, 2) Alarm
Notification, and 3) Acknowledgment.
Note that not all fault conditions will go through each stage. For example, some
may not meet the recognition time.
aLarm reCoGNITIoN
1) The Cell682 monitors 8 dry contact inputs, 6 analog inputs, main power,
and battery backup. When the status of an input changes or exceeds user-
programmed limits, it causes a fault condition.
2) If the fault condition lasts long enough to meet its programmed recogni-
tion time, the fault condition becomes an alarm and the Cell682 begins the
alarm notification sequence.
aLarm NoTIfICaTIoN
The Cell682 can send alarms via Voice phone call, E-mail, Alphanumeric pager,
or Text message to wireless (cell) phone.
dIaLoUT NoTe: CaLL proGress
The Cell682 monitors call progress when dialing out in voice mode. If it dials
out and encounters a busy signal or no answer it will wait about a minute and
try again up to 3 times. If the call is answered by an answering machine or voice
mail system the alarm message will likely be recorded , however, since the alarm
was not acknowledged the system will make additional calls.
aLarm NoTIfICaTIoN—VoICe
When dialing out to a destination programmed as “voice,” the Cell682 waits for
the phone to be answered, then recites its identification message, then the mes-
sage identifying the input that has gone into alarm.
Below is an example of what the Cell682 would say during a typical ‘voice’ noti-
fication:
