Action—Response
1. THE MODEL 400 DETECTS AN
ALERT CONDITION
An alert condition is not the same as
a valid alarm—the condition must
continue for the programmed time
period, or Recognition Time, before
it is recognized as a valid alarm.
2. A VALID ALARM IS
CONFIRMED
An audible, on-site alarm message
begins and continues until the
alarm is acknowledged. (If the
Mute feature is turned on, there is
no on-site message.) Call Delay is
activated.
3. DIAL-OUT BEGINS
Dial-out begins by calling telephone
number 1 to report an alarm.
If there is no acknowledgment, the
Model 400 waits the programmed
Intercall Time before dialing
subsequent telephone numbers. Dial-
out continues in this manner, cycling
through the remaining telephone
numbers, for the programmed Max
Calls.
4. THE ALARM IS
ACKNOWLEDGED
When the alarm is acknowledged,
the dial-out process is cancelled and
the audible, on-site alarm message
stops.
Programmable Feature
• Recognition Time
This is the programmed
waiting period to determine
if an alert condition has
persisted long enough to be
considered a valid alarm. If
the sensor returns to normal
within recognition time, then
no alarm will occur.
• Call Delay
This is the programmed
waiting period, before the
first telephone number is
called, to report an alarm.
• Intercall Time
This is the programmed
waiting period, in between
sequential dialing of
telephone numbers, to report
an alarm.
• Max Calls
This is the total number of
telephone calls that will be
dialed in response to any
valid alarm. Telephone
numbers are dialed
sequentially, and continue
to cycle until the maximum
number of calls is reached. If
no acknowledgment occurs,
then at the completion of
Max Calls, all alarms are
automatically acknowledged.
