CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Sensaphone 1800. The
1800 is a powerful monitoring, alarm, and event logging system.
It can monitor equipment and environmental conditions using
eight universal Zones, built-in power failure detection, and sound
level monitoring. The Sensaphone 1800 also features several
communication options: user-recordable voice, numeric pager, and
alphanumeric pager (wireless phone text message). The 1800 is the
ultimate choice for multi-zone industrial monitoring applications.
The Sensaphone 1800 is a fully programmable environmental
monitoring system for unattended or remote applications. The unit
will monitor and alarm on eight zones: N.O./N.C.(Normally Open
or Normally Closed) contact, 2.8K or 10K thermistor (temperature
sensor), and 4–20mA transducer. The unit will also monitor AC
power, sound level, and battery condition. On the front of the
unit are LED indicators to show the operating status. Each zone
(including power, sound and battery) has a status LED indicating
the alarm status of the Zone. There is also an LED to indicate if
the Output is On, an LED for Phone In-Use status and an LED for
System-On status.
The unit is programmed using the built-in keypad and voice
response menus. All programming is stored in nonvolatile memory
so that all programming is retained even without power. The unit
is capable of performing alarm event logging of the eight universal
Zones, power, and sound. The event logging (history) is also stored
in nonvolatile memory. A battery-backed real-time clock is also
included to time-stamp logged events. The alarm event history
can be heard through the built-in speaker or remotely over the
telephone. A complete status report of all monitored conditions can
also be heard simply by calling the 1800.
The unit comes in a plastic NEMA-4 enclosure with tabs for wall
or panel mounting. Terminal connections for Zones, outputs and
power are easily accessible from the front of the unit. The 1800 is
powered by a plug-in adapter and has a 2.2AH rechargeable backup
battery located behind the panel. Circuitry in the unit will maintain
precise charging of the battery system. The unit also includes Line
