5 .8 AC Power Monitoring Enable/Disable
The Model 800 monitors AC power failure. This command
enables or disables the power failure detection feature.When
enabled, the Model 800 will monitor power and dial out when AC
power failure exceeds a programmable span of time (refer to AC
Power Failure Recognition Time, Section 5.9).
The default setting for AC power monitoring is enabled (on).
When disabled, the Model 800 will not dial-out to report power
failure.

5 .9 AC Power Failure Recognition Time
The AC Power Failure Recognition Time is the length of time
that AC electric power is off before a valid alarm is recognized
and dial-out begins. The default setting is 5 minutes, 0 seconds,
but is programmable from 0 seconds to a maximum of 540
minutes.
When AC power failure occurs, and throughout the programmed
Recognition Time, the Model 800 steadily repeats the message
“the power is off” at the unit’s installation site. There is no Call
Delay programming available for AC power failure. Immediately
following Recognition Time, the Model 800 begins the dial-out
process to report power failure.
To cancel the power-failure message locally at the keypad (during
or after Recognition Time) press the ALARM CANCEL key
on the Model 800 keypad. This action also cancels the dial-out
process.
