Power Failure Alarm Cord
This Reliance SoniCord consists of a short section of cord with a built-in power failure sensor with a loud
audible alarm. It is intended to be used to monitor essential 120 volt AC powered cord-connected
appliances for accidental cord disconnection or circuit breaker failure leading to the appliance. Examples of
these types of appliances and devices are: freezers, refrigerators, dehumidifiers, computers, aquariums,
sump pumps and wine cellars. When the cord leading to any of these devices is connected using the
SoniCord and is accidentally disconnected from the outlet, or power otherwise fails to the SoniCord, a loud
105dB signal sounds for up to 90 minutes, advising the user to reconnect power to the device.
KEY COMPONENTS OF THE SoniCord Power Failure Alarm Cord
1. SoniCord assembly with a grounded three-wire 15 Amp plug, an alarm housing with rechargeable
battery, AC power ON LED indicator, sonic, and a grounded three-wire 15 Amp connector.
2. A locking plug joiner to insure that the SoniCord does not become detached from the appliance to be
monitored.
3. A built-in switch that will silence the alarm when operated to the “alarm off” position.
INSTALLATION
1. Attach
the
SoniCord female connector to the plug of the appliance to be monitored.
2. Attach the locking plug joiner to insure that the SoniCord and the appliance plug are locked together.
Note: If the appliance plug is disconnected from the SoniCord, the alarm will not sound. It will
sound only if power fails to reach the SoniCord. Installation of the locking plug is essential to proper
alarm operation.
3. Plug
the
SoniCord into any live 120 volt AC outlet.
TESTING
AND
OPERATION
After the SoniCord has been plugged into an AC outlet for 24 hours to obtain a full charge, simply
disconnect the SoniCord from the AC outlet. The alarm should sound. Make certain that the switch is in the
“alarm on” position.
