Important Safety Instructions
Telephone Consumer Protection Act
The FCC Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use
a computer or other electronic device, including fax machines, to send a message unless such
message contains, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first
page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or
other entity, or other individual sending the message, and the telephone number of the sending
machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone number provided may not
be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long-distance trans-
mission charges.)
To comply with this law, you must enter the following information into your SCADA 3000:
• Date & Time as shown in the System Programming section of this manual.
• Name and telephone number to identify the source of the fax transmission (as
shown in the System Programming section of this manual).
General Requirements for all Automatic Dialers:
When programming emergency numbers and (or) making test calls to emergency numbers:
1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.
2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evenings.
CANADIAN DePARTmeNT OF COmmUNICATIONS STATemeNT
Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment.
This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protec-
tive, operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment
will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to
the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associ-
ated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector
assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the
above condition may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility
designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user
to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the
power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected
together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should con-
tact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percent-
age of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device to prevent
overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only
to the requirement that the total of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does
not exceed 5.0.
The REN for the SCADA 3000 is 0.7B.
