NOTE: An alarm cannot be acknowledged using
a pulse (rotary) telephone unless the Callback
Acknowledgment feature is enabled.
TIP: When the 2800 is programmed to make calls to pagers,
make sure the intercall delay time is long enough to give the
person carrying the pager some time to get to a phone to call
the unit back.
Alarm Acknowledgment—Automatic (Max Calls)
The 2800 has the ability to acknowledge itself by using the Max
Calls function. The unit keeps a count of the number of phone calls
it makes for a particular alarm. Once the number of calls made
reaches Max Calls, the 2800 will acknowledge the alarm and stop
the dialout process. The default setting for Max Calls is 100.
Wireless Sensor Diagnostic Alarms
The Sensaphone 2800 will monitor wireless sensor communications
and battery status. If sensor communications are disrupted or if a
sensor battery becomes low, the 2800 will dial out and notify you
of the problem. Low battery alarms will occur when the batteries
reach 1.1 volt per cell. In addition, a low battery message will
be added to the status report for the sensor in question. A sensor
communications alarm will occur if a sensor fails to communicate
with the 2800 for a specified period of time.
CALL-IN STATUS
You can also call into the 2800 using a Touch-Tone telephone
to obtain a status report. After answering, the 2800 will recite a
status report. Immediately following the status report, the 2800
allows you to use Touch-Tone commands to enable/disable zones,
change limits, control the output, etc. See the next section, Remote
Commands via Touch-Tone Phone.
Below is an example of a voice status report:
“Hello, this is 555-2278, ‘Acme Medical Laboratory’
“Zone one, ‘Temperature in refrigerator one,’ 38 degrees
Fahrenheit, OK
