2 .5 Starting the Model 800
When the DC power transformer is first plugged into the
electrical outlet, the Model 800 automatically starts in RUN
mode. The System On light will begin to glow. The unit will
respond with,“Hello, this is Sensaphone 800.”
2 .6 Run Mode and Standby Mode
Pressing the RUN/STANDBY key on the Model 800 keypad
will alternately activate or deactivate the unit. If the unit is
activated and in RUN mode, the system on light glows steadily.
In STANDBY mode, the system on light goes out, but will blink
every few seconds to indicate that power is still supplied to the
unit.
In RUN mode, the Model 800 is able to receive incoming calls
and to dial out automatically in the event of an alarm on one of
the monitored conditions. To enter STANDBY mode, press RUN/
STANDBY.
As soon as the Model 800 enters STANDBY mode, it responds
with “Goodbye.” The system on light immediately goes out
and then resumes with a blink every few seconds. While in
STANDBY mode, all functions are disabled, but programmed
memory is preserved. Upon exiting STANDBY mode, any
currently existing alarms will be announced.
NOTE
STANDBY mode is not equivalent to “power
off”—an electrical source, such as the 120 VAC, or
the battery backup, continues to provide full power
to the unit. If the unit is placed in STANDBY mode,
unplugged from the 120 VAC outlet, and placed
in storage, the batteries will continue to power the
Model 800, discharging until they fail. Consequently,
batteries should always be removed from the unit fol-
lowing disconnection from any 120 VAC outlet, prior
to storage.
Press the RUN/STANDBY key again to return to RUN mode.
