CHAPTER 7: OPERATION
After installation and programming have been completed, the
Sensaphone 2800 is fully operational. This chapter explains how the
2800 operates.
ALARM DIALOUT AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
There are three stages to a complete alarm event: 1) Alarm
Recognition, 2) Alarm Notification, 3) Acknowledgment.
NOTE: Not all alert conditions will go through
each stage. For example, some may not meet the
recognition time.
Alarm Recognition
1. The 2800 monitors eight zones plus sound level and power
failure. When the status of a zone changes or exceeds user-
programmed limits, it causes an alert condition.
2. If the alert condition lasts long enough to meet its programmed
recognition time, the alert condition becomes an alarm and the
2800 begins the alarm notification sequence.
Alarm Notification
The 2800 can make two types of phone calls: Voice and
Numeric Pager.
Dialout Note: Call Progress
The 2800 monitors call progress when dialing out. If the 2800 dials
out and encounters a busy signal or no answer after 10 rings, the
unit hangs up, waits the programmed intercall delay time, and then
dials the next phone number.
NOTE: Dial-tone and call-progress detection may
optionally be disabled.
Alarm Dialout—Voice
When dialing out to a destination programmed as “voice,” the 2800
waits for the phone to be answered, then recites its user-recorded
identification message, then the message identifying the zone or
zones that have gone into alarm.
