CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Sensaphone 1400. The
1400 is a powerful monitoring, alarm, and event logging system.
It can monitor equipment and environmental conditions using
four universal Zones with scaleable range, built-in power failure
detection, sound level monitoring, and one relay output for manual
control, or automatic control from alarms. The Sensaphone 1400
also features user-recordable voice for ID and all monitored zones,
numeric paging, and built-in line seizure.
The Sensaphone 1400 is a fully programmable environmental
monitoring system for unattended or remote applications. The
unit will monitor and alarm on four zones: these can be N.O./
N.C.(Normally Open or Normally Closed) contact, 4–20mA, or
2.8K or 10K thermistor (temperature sensor). 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 four 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 1400.
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 1400 is powered
by a plug-in adapter and has a 6V 1.3AH rechargeable backup
battery located behind the panel. Circuitry in the unit will maintain
