2.5 Starting the Model 1108

When the AC power transformer is first plugged into theelectrical outlet, the Model 1108 automatically starts in RUNmode. The red LED light will begin to glow. The unit willrespond with“Hello, this is Sensaphone® 1108.”

2.6 Run Mode and Standby Mode

Pressing the RUN/STANDBY key on the Model 1108 keypadwill alternately activate or deactivate the unit. If the unit isactivated and in RUN mode, the red LED (small red light on theupper right of the unit's front panel) glows steadily. InSTANDBY mode, the red LED goes out, but will blink everyfew seconds to indicate that power is still supplied to the unit.

In RUN mode, the Model 1108 is able to receive incoming callsand to automatically dial out in the event of an alarm on one ofthe monitored conditions. To enter STANDBY mode, pressRUN/STANDBY.

As soon as the Model 1108 enters STANDBY mode, itresponds with “Have a good day.” The red light immediatelygoes out and then resumes with a blink every few seconds.While in STANDBY mode, all functions are disabled, butprogrammed memory is preserved. Upon exiting STANDBYmode, any currently existing alert conditions will be announced.


6

NOTE

STANDBY mode is not equivalent to “poweroff”—an electrical source, such as the 120 VAC,or the battery backup, continues to provide fullpower to the unit. If the unit is placed inSTANDBY mode, unplugged from the 120 VACoutlet, and placed in storage, the batteries willcontinue to power the Model 1108, discharginguntil they fail. Consequently, batteries shouldalways be removed from the unit followingdisconnection from any 120 VAC outlet, prior tostorage.

Press the RUN/STANDBY key again to return to RUN mode.

RUNSTANDBY

Figure 2-3. The RUN/STANDBY Key

2.7 Telephone Line

The Model 1108 will operate with all standard telephonesystems that accept pulse or tone dialing. The Model 1108cannot be used on an extension line to dial its own telephonenumber. Also, it may not be installed on a party line or paytelephone line.

Certain private telephone systems and public switchingequipment may not accept the Model 1108 dialing or maygenerate an unacceptable ring signal. In those cases, a dedi-cated line may be required. Consult the supplier of yourtelephone system if you encounter problems.

If you do not have a modular telephone extension at theModel 1108’s location, you must contact your local telephonecompany to have one installed (there is a charge for thisservice). If you have four-pin jacks, adapters are available toconvert them to the modular plugs. Contact your localtelephone company or electronics parts store.

On the back of the Model 1108 is a female telephone jack.This is provided so that a telephone or other answering devicemay be used on the same line as the unit. It is not necessary tohook up a telephone for the Model 1108 to operate.

2.8 The Microphone

The Model 1108 is provided with a built-in microphone whichis used to monitor high sound levels produced near the installa-tion site. The sensitivity of the microphone is configurable andwill detect a continuous as well as a beeping alarm.

Other programming options that apply to the microphoneinclude setting the length of time before a high sound causes analarm.

If this sound level exists for 8 consecutive seconds (default) orfor the programmed length of time, the Model 1108 will dialout with an alarm message.


8

NOTE

The proximity of the audible alarm to themicrophone is extremely important.Normally, the Model 1108 and the audible alarmmust be in the same room. The maximumdistance can vary considerably depending on thealarm, the acoustics, and the size of the room.

During an alarm dial-out, the microphone allows four-secondintervals to listen-in to sounds at the Model 1108’s location.

When calling for a Status Report, the microphone permitslistening to on-site sounds for a programmed time interval.

2.9 Alert Inputs

The Model 1108 can monitor up to 8 inputs (represented by thenumbered terminal screws shown in Figure 2-5, below). Twoinput terminals share the same ground.


Figure 2-5. Alert Inputs

Inputs are configured as either dry contact or temperature.An input configured as dry contact can be used with anynormally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) device.“Open” refers to an opened circuit path; if conditions cause thecircuit to close, an alert condition occurs. “Closed” refers to acontinuous circuit path; if a closed circuit is opened, an alertcondition occurs. The Model 1108 determines the way inputsare configured by the type of sensor connected to each alertinput (refer to Chapter 5, Section 5.1).


9

An input configured as “temperature” is designed to evaluate arange of settings. The Model 1108 will read the temperature atthe sensor’s location and compare that value to programmedhigh and low temperature limits. Temperature inputs must beused with Phonetics Remote Temperature Sensor.

NOTE

Before wiring, it is advisable to disable theinputs to prevent accidentally tripping an alarm.Refer to Chapter 5, Section 5.2.

2.10 Installing the Sensor

After you have selected the sensor, loosen the screw of the alertinput and its corresponding ground. Two wire leads are used toconnect any monitoring sensor. Fasten one lead to the num-bered screw and the other lead to GND. Tighten both screws. Ifthe input was not disabled, the Model 1108 may recite its“Alert Condition Exists” message as you connect the sensor. Ifit does, just press any key to stop. Re-enable the input afterwiring. Refer to Figures 2-6 and 2-7 for connecting a sensor toan alert input.


Sensor wired to Alert Input 5

Figure 2-6. Sensor Connected to an Alert Input


10

Any sensor can be attached to the Model 1108 using 22-gaugewire. The sensor can be several hundred feet from the unit, aslong as the total resistance of the circuit is not greater than 50ohms. Use wire appropriate for the application.




Figure 2-7. Two Sensors Wired to Adjacent InputsShare the Same Ground Terminal Screw

NOTE

Do not use sensors, switches, or relays thatsupply any voltage or current to the Model 1108.Be aware of proximity to other electrical wires orcomponents when placing wires that lead fromthe sensors to the unit. Avoid running the wiresnear electrical devices that use high voltage orcurrent, such as motors, heavy machinery, etc.This voltage may be inductively coupled into thesensor wiring and could result in damage to thethe Model 1108’s circuitry. Try to place wires atleast 6 inches from other electrical wiring ordevices.


11

2.11 Multiple Sensors

The Model 1108 may have more than one sensor connected tothe same alert input, as long as the normal condition for eachsensor on the same alert input is identical (either all N.O. or allN.C.). However, only one remote temperature sensor can beused on each input.

When wiring several normally closed sensors on one input,they must be connected in series. Connect one lead from thefirst sensor to the numbered screw of the alert input. Next, takethe other lead from the first sensor and connect it to one leadfrom the next sensor. Continue connecting sensors end-to-enduntil you have connected all of your sensors. Take the secondlead from the last sensor and connect it to the ground screw onthe Model 1108. See Figure 2-8. Multiple N.C. sensors aretypically magnetic reed switches to monitor the security ofwindows and doors.

~~ ~~

Multiple normally-closed sensors wired in series. (Example shown using Input 3.)

Alert condition occurs when a switch is opened.


Figure 2-8. Multiple Normally Closed Sensors

To wire several normally open sensors to one alert input,connect them in parallel. To do this, take one lead from eachsensor and attach it to the numbered terminal. Then, take thesecond lead from each sensor and attach each to the corre-sponding ground screw. Refer to Figure 2-9.


12

Example with multiple sensors connected to Input 5. Alert condition occurs when a normally open switch closes.


Figure 2-9. Multiple Normally Open Sensors

2.12 Outdoor Wiring

When wiring sensors outdoors, DO NOT allow exposed wiresto run freely in open air; under such conditions, the Model1108 is susceptible to serious damage during a lightning storm.Depending upon the distance outdoor wiring must travel,consideration should be given to use of shielded wire inside ametal conduit. Both shield and conduit should be connected toearth ground. This prevents stray voltage from entering theunit.

2.13 Disconnecting the Model 1108 for Storage orSeasonal Use.

If you plan to employ the Model 1108 as a seasonal “watch-dog” for a few months during the year, you m ust disconnectall wires fr om the unit completel y to a void dama ge to thecircuitry when the unit is not in use . If the unit is unpluggedbut left in place with all the sensors still connected, the wiresact as antennae that draw in any stray “electrical noise” fromsuch devices as fans, blowers, microwaves, etc.

Additionally, it is important to remove the batteries, or theywill discharge until they fail.

Preserve your Model 1108 during the off-season, orwhen not in use:

• Remove the sensor wires at the screw terminals

• Remove the batteries

• Unplug the unit and store in a safe place

This concludes minimum programming to achieve normaloperation of the Model 1108. In additon to the programmingjust accomplished, default settings for many more features takeeffect when the unit is first powered. You will be able toreprogram most of these factory-set defaults to suit yourapplication.

For a complete explanation of each feature (with illustrations ofkeystrokes), refer to Chapter 4: Communications Programmingand Chapter 5: Alarm Programming.

To gain a basic understanding of how the alarm dial-out featureworks, refer to this chapter, Section 3-4. For extended informa-tion regarding dial-out and related programmable parameters,refer to Chapter 7: Operation.

Programmable Feature

• Recognition Time

This is the programmedwaiting period to determine ifan alert condition has persistedlong enough to be considered avalid alarm. If the sensorreturns to normal withinrecognition time, then noalarm will occur.

• Call Delay

This is the programmedwaiting period, before the firsttelephone number is called, toreport an alarm.

• Intercall Time

This is the programmedwaiting period, in betweensequential dialing of telephonenumbers, to report an alarm.

• Max Calls

This is the total number oftelephone calls that will bedialed in response to any validalarm. Telephone numbers aredialed sequentially, andcontinue to cycle until themaximum number of calls isreached. If no acknowledg-ment occurs, then at thecompletion of Max Calls, allalarms are automaticallyacknowledged.

Action—Response

1. THE Model 1108 DETECTSAN ALERT CONDITION

An alert condition is not the same as avalid alarm—the condition mustcontinue for the programmed timeperiod, or Recognition Time, before it isrecognized as a valid alarm.

2. A VALID ALARM IS CONFIRMED

An audible, on-site alarm messagebegins and continues until the alarm isacknowledged. (If the Mute feature isturned on, there is no on-site message.)Call Delay is activated.

3. DIAL-OUT BEGINS

Dial-out begins by calling telephonenumber 1 to report an alarm.If there is no acknowledgment, theModel 1108 waits the programmedIntercall Time before dialing subse-quent telephone numbers. Dial-outcontinues in this manner, cyclingthrough the remaining telephonenumbers, for the programmed MaxCalls.

4. THE ALARM ISACKNOWLEDGED

When the alarm is acknowledged, thedial-out process is cancelled and theaudible, on-site alarm message stops.

4.6 TAD (Telephone Answering Device)

The TAD feature is especially useful because it integrates theoperation of the Model 1108 with your telephone answeringdevice in a way that retains the full flexibility of each system.This allows you to have on-demand telephone access to theModel 1108, for obtaining a Status Report, or for issuing call-in


35

commands, while your telephone answering device is set toreceive outside calls. Programming for use with a telephoneanswering device (TAD) is always used in conjunction withRings Until Answer, detailed in section 4.5.

NOTE

The TAD feature only applies to answeringdevices connected to the same telephone line asthe Model 1108.

4.6.1 TAD Enable/Disable

To enable/disable the TAD feature:

1. Press SENSOR ON/OFF.

SENSORON/OFF

2. Press RING/TAD.

RING/TADPAUSE

AM

The Model 1108 will respond: “On.” (If the Model 1108says “Off,” repeat steps 1 and 2 to reactivate TAD.)

4.6.2 Using the TAD Feature

1. Make sure the TAD feature is enabled on the Model 1108.(The default setting is disabled, so you must enable itfirst.)

2. Determine the number of rings your telephone answeringdevice uses to answer the telephone. (Most answeringdevices require 4 rings; others are selectable.)

3. On the Model 1108, program Rings Until Answer to agreater number than the number of rings set on youranswering machine.

Example:

Telephone answering device, rings = 4

Model 1108, Rings Until Answer = 6


36

Using the procedure just outlined, all incoming calls will beanswered by the telephone answering device, allowing it tooperate normally. With the programming just accomplished, theModel 1108 can be accessed remotely, by telephone, to obtainthe Status Report.

1. Dial the telephone number of the Model 1108.

2. Let the telephone ring once and then hang up.

3. Wait approximately ten seconds

4. Call the Model 1108 back.It will answer the telephone on the first ring.

Explanation: The pattern of one ring, followed by a second call(within 30 seconds), signals the Model 1108 to answer yourincoming call, excluding the telephone answering device.

NOTE

Special Case: If the Model 1108 shares the sameline with a telephone answering device, andduring certain time periods, frequent, incomingcalls are expected on that line, then you maywant to temporarily disable the TAD feature. Ifyou leave the TAD enabled, it will not adverselyaffect normal operation, but if two outsidetelephone calls are received within the same30-second time window, the Model 1108 willinterpret this pattern as a signal to answer thetelephone. If this occurs, press any key on theModel 1108 to hang up.

4.6.3 No TAD In Use

If a telephone answering device is not used on the sametelephone line as the Model 1108, make sure that theTAD feature is disabled, or turned off. Only Rings UntilAnswer programming will determine how incoming callsare answered. For example, if you program Rings UntilAnswer to 3, incoming calls will be answered in 3 rings.


37

4.7 Listen-in Time

The Listen-in Time is the amount of time you can listen tosounds from the Model 1108’s built-in microphone at itsinstallation site. When you call in for a Status Report, theModel 1108 announces Listen-in Time at the end of its firstround of status readings, saying, “Listen to the sound level for(programmed time entered).” The programmable range is from0 to 255 seconds (or up to 4.17 minutes). The default value is15 seconds.

NOTE

The microphone is also used to monitor highsound level. See Chapter 5, Section 5.10 throughSection 5.11.1.

Chapter 5: Alarm Programming

49


This chapter explains the alarm programming and monitoringcapabilities of the Model 1108, with specific instructions forthe following features:

• Configure inputs as dry contact or temperature

• Enable/disable inputs

• Program alarm Recognition Time for each input

• Program high and low temperature limits

• Disable alarm response to high or low temperature

• Program temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius scale

• Calibrate temperature

• Obtain current temperature

• Program AC power-failure Recognition Time

• Enable/disable AC power monitoring

• Program sound level sensitivity

• Program high sound Recognition Time

• Disable alarm response to high sound

• Use Exit Delay via Status Report

5.1 Input Configuration

In preparing the Model 1108 to sense an alert condition, theinputs must be configured as dry contact (either open or closed)or as temperature inputs. The default setting for input 1 istemperature; for inputs 2-8, the default is dry contact and open.To configure input normality, sensors are first wired to theterminal strip at the back of the unit. (Refer to Chapter 2,Section 2.9–2.12, for an explanation on wiring inputs.)

The configuration process directs the Model 1108 to initializethe 8 inputs and establish normal settings. Any change in thestatus of an input (for example, from a normally open contactto a suddenly closed contact) is recognized as an alert condi-tion. In the case of a temperature input, an alert condition isrecognized when established temperature limits are exceeded.


50

NOTE

Before starting keyboard commands to configureinput normality on the Model 1108, it is veryimportant to check that the sensors you havewired to the unit are set in their normal, non-alarm positions. For example, if a magnetic reedswitch (a normally-closed sensor used to detectunauthorized entry) has been wired to theModel 1108, make sure that the door or windowto be monitored is shut before configuring theinput. If a motion-detector is wired to the unit, itis advisable to block all sources of motion fromthe sensor before and during configuration.

5.1.1 Programming Input Configuration

1. Press STANDBY to place the Model 1108 inStandby mode.

RUNSTANDBY

2. Wire sensors to the inputs to the back of the Model 1108(see Chapter 2, Section 2.10).

3. Press RUN. The red light glows when the Model 1108returns to Run mode.

RUNSTANDBY

4. Press SET.

SET#

5. Press CONFIGURE.

STATUSCONFIGURE


51

6. The Model 1108 audibly recites the configuration for eachof the eight inputs:

• If the input is normally open, the Model 1108 recites thenumber of the input and says“OK.”

• If the input is normally closed, the Model 1108 recitesthe number of the input, followed by a beep and“OK.”

• If the input is configured as temperature, theModel 1108 recites the number of the input, followed by“Temperature.”

5.1.2 Verifying Input Configuration

Input configuration can be verified when interrogating theModel 1108 for a complete Status Report. Refer to Chapter 6for a more detailed description of the Status Report.

5.2 Enable/Disable Inputs

This function allows you to enable or disable an input’sresponse to an alert condition. An enabled input will respond toan alert condition and allow dial-out. A disabled input willcause dial-out to be suppressed, but any existing alert condi-tions will be revealed during the Status Report. Enable/disableprogramming is useful during wiring of inputs (see Chapter 2)or when a condition needs to be monitored, but is not criticalenough to be programmed for dial-out reporting. It is importantto verify input status after performing any task that requiresdisabling. The default setting for all inputs is enabled (ON).If an alert condition exists when inputs are re-enabled,Recognition Time will restart—refer to Section 5.3.

STATUSCONFIGURE

The Model 1108 audibly recites the current status of everyinput. In a Status Report, each input is first identified by itsinput number, followed by a report that specifies parameterscurrently affecting that input. If an input is disabled, the word“Off” immediately follows the number recited for that input.

For example, input 3 is configured as a normally open, drycontact input. During the Status Report:

• If disabled, the Model 1108 recites:“Number 3—Off—OK,” for input 3.

• If enabled, the Model 1108 recites:“Number 3—OK,” for input 3.


53

In another example, input 5 is configured as a temperatureinput. The current temperature is 76 degrees. During a StatusReport:

• If disabled, the Model 1108 recites “Number 5—Off—76 degrees—OK.”

• If enabled, the Model 1108 recites “Number 5—76 degrees—OK.”

5.3 Input Recognition Time

The Input Recognition Time is the length of time an alertcondition must be present before a valid alarm exists and dial-out is activated. This time period is programmable, from 0minutes, 0 seconds (for immediate response) up to a period of272 minutes, 0 seconds. If an alert condition begins and thenclears within the established Recognition Time, no dial-out willoccur. When an alert condition continues beyond the pro-grammed Recognition Time, the Model 1108 initiates dial-out.The default setting for Input Recognition Time is 0 minutes,3 seconds.

The Model 1108 is able to suppress and then reset its dial-outfunction automatically through use of the Status Report. This isespecially convenient when an alert condition is created uponexiting a monitored door and there is no way to cancel from thelocal keypad.

Example: You are planning to exit through a monitored door.Prior to exiting, you initiate a Status Report recitation at theModel 1108 keypad by pressing WHAT IS, followed bySTATUS, (key sequence shown below). You have approxi-mately 30 seconds to exit without activating the Model 1108’sprogrammed alarm response. At the conclusion of the StatusReport, normal alarm response is reactivated.

In addition to communication and alarm monitoringcapabilities, the Model 1108 will also respond to yourinstructions and provide you with access to information onmonitored conditions at all times.

By issuing commands to the unit, either at the installation siteor over standard telephone lines, the following features may beactivated:

• Acknowledgment of existing alarms

• The Status Report on all monitored conditions.

6.1 Alarm Acknowledgment

When the Model 1108 dials out with an alarm message, it willrequest acknowledgment before hanging up. Acknowledgmentindicates to the unit that the alarm message has been received.Upon acknowledgment, the Model 1108 will cancel the dial-outsequence.

There are three ways* that an alarm is acknowledged directly:

• Local Acknowledgment

• Touch-ToneTM Acknowledgment

• Callback Acknowledgment

* A fourth method of alarm acknowledgment is indirect. Referto Max Calls, Chapter 4, Section 4.12 for an example ofautomatic alarm acknowledgment.

6.1.1 Local AcknowledgmentTo acknowledge an alarm locally (directly at the installationsite of the Model 1108), press any key.

6.1.2 Touch-ToneTM AcknowledgmentThis method of remote alarm acknowledgment works with aTouch-ToneTM telephone.


70

Example: You receive a call from the Model 1108, reportingthat an alarm exists. The message concludes: “Indicate youhave received warning message.” Now, or at any time duringthis call, you may acknowledge the alarm with the code “555”if you are using a Touch-ToneTM telephone.

• To enter “555,” press the number (5) key on the Touch-ToneTM phone keypad three times. The Model 1108 willrespond: * “Warning message received by telephonenumber (last number dialed).” The Model 1108 willhang up and the dial-out sequence, including any furtherresponse to the alarm, will be cancelled.

• If you enter the wrong code or do not enter it within10 seconds following the conclusion of the message, theModel 1108 will respond: “Dial telephone number (theprogrammed unit phone number) within (IntercallTime).” Then, the Model 1108 will hang up. The alarmis still not acknowledged until you call back. You have aperiod equal to the programmed Intercall Time to callthe unit back in order to acknowledge the alarm. Referto Callback Acknowledgment, Section 6.1.3, below.

6.1.3 Callback Acknowledgment

This method of remote alarm acknowledgment works with anytelephone: pulse, rotary, or Touch-ToneTM.

Example: The Model 1108 calls you with an alarm message.You answer the call with a rotary or pulse telephone, and do thefollowing:

• You listen to the message and hang up.

• Then you call the Model 1108 back on any telephone.You must wait for 10 rings—this signals the Model1108 to answer your telephone call. (Make sure to callback within the programmed setting for IntercallTime—refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.11.)

When the Model 1108 answers your return call, it gives aStatus Report (refer to Section 6.2). Then it says:“Warningmessage received by ...” and recites the telephone number lastdialed. This indicates that the alarm has been acknowledged.

71


NOTE

If you have the TAD feature ( telephoneanswering device) enabled, the Model 1108 willanswer the telephone on the first ring. If it isdisabled, the telephone must be allowed to ring10 times. This serves as a precaution against arandom alarm acknowledgment. Refer toChapter 4, Section 4.6, for complete informationon using the TAD feature.

6.2 Status Report

The Status Report allows access to complete information on allmonitored conditions either locally, from the keypad, or bytelephone, from any location. The Model 1108 will answer anincoming telephone call following the programmed Rings UntilAnswer (refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.5). Included with theStatus Report are messages related to alarm conditions,AC power, battery backup and sound level. It also provides anopportunity for listening to on-site sounds (refer to Listen-inTime, Chapter 4, Section 4.7).

To initiate the Status Report:

1. Press WHAT IS.

WHAT IS*

2. Press STATUS.

STATUSCONFIGURE

Sections 6.2.1, 6.2.2, and 6.2.3 demonstrate two differentStatus Report recitations. The Status Report starts with:

“Hello. This is telephone number 555-1234 (or theprogrammed ID).”

“The time is 12:15 PM (or the current time).”

The Model 1108 proceeds with a separate report for each input.Each input identifies itself by reciting the input number.


72

6.2.1 Example: Status Report, No Alarms

Inputs 2, 3, 4, and 6 are configured as dry contact and inputs 1,5, 7 and 8 are configured as temperature. No alarms exist. TheStatus Report begins by saying, “Hello, this is telephonenumber 555-1234; the time is 12:15 PM.” Following thisintroduction, the report continues:

“Number 1, 74 degrees, OK.”

“Number 2, OK.”

“Number 3, OK.”

“Number 4, OK.”


“Number 6, OK.”



“The electricity is ON.” This refers to AC power.

“Battery condition, OK.” Other responses: “Battery conditionlow” or “Replace batteries.” (Refer to Section 6.2.4 foradditional information regarding battery condition.)

“Sound level, OK.”

“Listen to the sound level for 10 seconds.” In this case, theprogrammed Listen-in Time is set at 10 seconds. (This featureis not available when obtaining the Status Report on-site,directly at the keypad.)

The Status Report repeats once more and the Model 1108concludes the call, saying: “Have a good day.” (The StatusReport will not repeat if obtained at the keypad; “Have a goodday,” is also not recited.)

The phrase “no number” at the end of a Status Report indicatesthat no dial-out phone numbers have been programmed.

73


6.2.2 Example: Status Report, Existing Alarms

Inputs 2, 3, 4, and 6 are configured as dry contact and inputs 1,5, 7 and 8 are configured as temperature. An emergencysituation is at hand: a fire in a greenhouse has tripped a smokealarm and electrical power has been disrupted. In addition tohigh sound and AC power alarms, separate alarms exist oninputs 5, 6, 7, and 8. You happen to call in for the StatusReport, which begins with, “Hello, this is telephone number555-1234; the time is 12:15 PM.” Following this introduction,the report continues:


“Number 2, OK.”

“Number 3, OK.”

“Number 4, OK.”

“Number 5, 105 degrees, HIGH.”

“Number 6, EXISTS.”



“The electricity is OFF.”

“Battery condition, OK.”

“Sound level, HIGH.”

“Listen to the sound level for 10 seconds.”

“Warning message received by ...(last telephone numberdialed*).”

The Status Report repeats once more and the Model 1108concludes the call, saying: “Have a good day.”

* The “last telephone number dialed” refers to any one of theprogrammed, dial-out telephone numbers through which theModel 1108 was able to receive alarm acknowledgment, priorto your call for a Status Report; this could also refer to theModel 1108’s I.D. Number, if the alarms are acknowledged atthe keypad by someone present at the site.


74

6.2.3 Example: Status Report, Disabled Inputs

If an input is disabled, the dial-out feature for that input isdeactivated, but all other programmed parameters remain ineffect. In the example below, all 8 inputs are disabled, althoughinputs 5 and 6 are detecting alarms. AC power and Sound Levelare also disabled for dial-out. (Note that to indicate disabledstatus, only AC power will return two audible beeps, ratherthan the word, “OFF.”) When you call the Model 1108 for aStatus Report, you hear the following:

“Hello, this is telephone number 555-1234.

“The time is 12:15 PM.”

“Number 1, OFF, OK.”

“Number 2, OFF, 74 degrees, OK.”



“Number 5, OFF, 96 degrees, HIGH.”

“Number 6, OFF, EXISTS.”



“The electricity is (beep, beep), ON.” If the electricity is off,or the AC adaptor is disconnected, you will hear:“The electricity is (beep, beep), OFF.”

“Battery condition, OK.”

“Sound level, OFF, OK.” If the sound level is high you willhear: “Sound level, OFF, HIGH.”

“Listen to the sound level for 10 seconds.”

The Status Report repeats once more and the Model 1108concludes the call, saying: “Have a good day.”

75


6.2.4 Battery Condition

During a Status Report, you may hear one of three possiblemessages regarding battery power. The Model 1108determines the appropriate message by measuring batteryvoltage. Depending upon the remaining voltage, it mayrespond:

• “Battery Condition , OK,” if over 8.2 Volts.

• “Battery Condition , low,” if between 7.2 and 8.2 Volts.

• “Replace batteries,” if below 7.2 Volts.

6.2.5 Remote Access by Touch-Tone™ Telephone

Calling the Model 1108 for a Status Report provides theopportunity to access other functions, using Touch Tone™ push-button commands. Remote telephone commands include:

• Disabling/enabling any input.

• Disabling/enabling High Sound Alarm monitoring.

• Disabling/enabling AC Power monitoring.

• Activation of Listen-In Time.

• Activation of the Status Report.

To issue commands by telephone, first dial the number of theModel 1108 to access the Status Report. The Status Report willbe followed by the programmed Listen-In Time. If you remainon the telephone, the Status Report will be repeated, followedby a 10 second waiting period and hang-up. During this10 second waiting period, or at any time during the call, othercommands may by accessed by pressing any push button onthe telephone.

If a Security Code is in effect, the Model 1108 will prompt youwith: “Enter Security Code.” If no Security Code is set, then itwill say “O.K.”

• Enter your Security Code (4 digits) with the telephonepush buttons. If the code you enter is correct, theModel 1108 will respond: “OK.”

• If you enter the wrong Security Code, the Model 1108says,“Error. Have a good day,” and hangs up.


76

Disabling/enabling inputs – If an input is set to detect an alertcondition, it can be disabled to prevent the Model 1108 fromdialing out, or re-enabled at any time.

This feature allows the convenience of disabling an input, evenif you are away from the site of the Model 1108. One suchapplication may involve an input programmed to detectunauthorized entry. You are in another locale, but must allowsomeone else temporary access to the area monitored by theModel 1108. Using a Touch-ToneTM telephone, you can disablethe appropriate input (thereby disabling any alarm dial-outresponse). The input remains disabled until you issue the samecommand, which effectively returns it to its former, enabledstate.

Press the following push-buttons on the Touch-ToneTM tele-phone to execute the desired command:

* (asterisk), 1

...equal to Sensor On/Off, for input 1. To re-enable theinput, repeat the same Touch-ToneTM button sequenceused for disabling.

* (asterisk), 2

...equal to Sensor On/Off for input 2, and so on, forinputs up to 8. To re-enable the input, repeat the sameTouch-ToneTM button sequence used for disabling.

Disabling/enabling High Sound Monitoring –

* (asterisk), 9

...equal to SENSOR ON/OFF for High Sound Alarmmonitoring. To re-enable High Sound Alarm, repeat thecommand.

Disabling/enabling AC Power –

* (asterisk), 0

...equal to Sensor On/Off for AC Power monitoring. Tore-enable AC Power monitoring , repeat the command.

NOTES

Chapter 7: Operation

79


After installation and programming is completed, theModel 1108 is fully operational. This chapter explains thesequence of events that occur during an alarm dialout toillustrate how the Model 1108 operates.

7.1 Alarm Detection, Dial-out and Acknowledgment

Generally, an alarm event is structured in the followingmanner:

I. The Model 1108 detects an alert condition due toa change at the sensor.

II. A valid alarm is recognized.

III. Dial-out begins.

IV. The alarm is acknowledged.

Often, an alarm does not proceed through all stages: either analert condition does not persist long enough to be consideredvalid, or a valid alarm is cancelled.

The table on the following page explains the alarm detection,dial-out and acknowledgment features and lists importantvariable factors affecting their operation.


80

• Model 1108 detects a change in themonitored condition (from the sensorwired to one of the inputs). This isconsidered an alert condition, and doesnot qualify as a valid alarm at this point.

• The condition continues throughout theprogrammed Recognition Time. If thecondition (or sensor) reverts to itsnormal state before the RecognitionTime is reached, no alarm will occur.

• The condition must persist long enoughto meet or exceed the programmedRecognition Time. When RecognitionTime has expired, but the alert conditioncontinues, the Model 1108 willdetermine that a valid alarm exists.

• When a valid alarm is determined, CallDelay is activated, forcing theModel 1108 to wait for a programmedperiod of time before starting the dial-out process. Call Delay applies to theperiod just prior to dial-out, before thefirst telephone call is made.

• Call Delay provides the opportunity tocancel a valid alarm at the Model 1108’sinstallation site, before dial-out occurs.An audible voice message indicateswhich of the inputs is in alarm. If on-sitepersonnel acknowledge the alarm withinthe Call Delay time, theModel 1108 will not dial out. (LocalVoice Mute is disabled, so that alarmmessages can be heard at the site.)

Alarm Message:Audible, On-siteActivated

Recognition Time:Activated

Input Type: (1) Anopen circuit closes,(2) a closed circuitopens, or(3) temperaturelimits are exceeded.


81

• The dial-out process is activated as soonas the Call Delay time expires (if thealarm has not been cancelled at theModel 1108’s installation site.) The dial-out begins with telephone number 1 andproceeds sequentially, through theremaining telephone numbers.

• If the alarm is not acknowledged withthe first dial-out telephone call, theModel 1108 waits the duration ofIntercall Time before dialing the nexttelephone number. Intercall Time is theprogrammed waiting period in betweeneach dial-out telephone call.

• When the telephone is answered, theprogrammed Voice Repetitionsdetermine the number of times per callthe Model 1108 recites the alarmmessage.

• Call Progress, an automatic feature,enables the Model 1108 to detectwhether or not the telephone call isanswered. After 8 rings, or if a busysignal is encountered, the Model 1108will hang up, wait the programmedIntercall Time, and proceed to dial thenext telephone number.

• If no telephone calls are answered, theModel 1108 dials out sequentially,through the remaining telephonenumbers and continues to cycle until theprogrammed Maximum Number ofCalls is reached.

• When the telephone is answered, theModel 1108 will immediately beginreciting a message that indicates whichof the inputs is in alarm. At the sametime, the alarm message is repeating atthe Model 1108’s installation site. TheModel 1108 will request acknowledg-ment, if it has not yet occurred.

Alarm Messages:By TelephoneandOn-site

Max Calls:Activated

Call Delay:Expired


82

• At any time after a valid alarm isdetermined, the alarm may be acknowl-edged at the Model 1108’s installationsite, by pressing any key.

• When the Model 1108 dials out and thecall is answered via Touch-Tonetelephone, any alarm may be instantlyacknowledged by pressing “555.”

• If the alarm message repeats for thenumber of programmed Voice Repeti-tions, and “555” has not been entered,the Model 1108 will say:

“Indicate that you have received warningmessage.”

The Model 1108 waits 10 seconds forthe Touch-Tone code “555” to beentered. If the code is entered within 10seconds, it responds:

“Warning message received by telephonenumber...(the Unit ID Number).”

The alarm is considered acknowledgedand the dialout concludes.

• If the Model 1108 does not receive theTouch-Tone code within 10 seconds, itrecites the following and then hangs up:

“Dial telephone number (gives the Unit ID Number)within...(the programmed Intercall Time.)”

The recipient of this message must callthe Model 1108 back within the periodprogrammed for Intercall Time, in orderto acknowledge the alarm. If LocalVoice Mute is off, the unit will beep atthe installation site while waiting forthis call.

• Callback: The Model 1108 waits 10rings before answering to guard againstrandom acknowledgment. If ananswering device is connected to the

same line as the Model 1108 (and TADis enabled), the Model 1108 willanswer on the first ring. First, it recitesthe Status Report, followed by:

“Warning message received by telephonenumber...(the number of your present location).”“Have a good day.”

When the Model 1108 hangs up, thealarm is acknowledged and dial-outstops.

• If calls remain unanswered, or if theyare received by an answering machineor FAX, the Model 1108 continues thedialout sequence; it waits the IntercallTime and proceeds to dial the nexttelephone number. Telephone numbersare dialed sequentially, and this cyclecontinues for the number of Max Callsprogrammed. If no acknowledgmentoccurs, then at the completion of MaxCalls, the alarm is automaticallyacknowledged and the dial-out processis terminated.

NOTE

Acknowledging the alarm does not correct thesituation! The alarm condition will still exist untilthe sensor is restored to its normal state.

7.2 Example: A Dial-out Telephone Call

The following parameters are selected for demonstrationpurposes:

• Model 1108 Unit ID Number is set to 555-5674.It is currently installed at your place of business.

• Dial-out Telephone Number 1 is programmedto 555-1234, your home telephone number.

• Voice Repetitions are set to 4.

The Model 1108 is detecting an alarm on input 2.The telephone rings at 555-1234, your home number.You answer the telephone and hear the following message:

“Hello, this is telephone number 555-5674. The time is 8.30 p.m. Alert condition two exists.”

(4-seconds to hear on-site sound from unit’s microphone.)







“Indicate you have received warning message.”

NOTE

It is important that your dial-out telephonenumbers be answered by you or other authorizedpersonnel in order to ensure adequate response toan alarm.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting

85


In the event that a problem is encountered, this section will assistyou in determining the cause, so you can return the unit to its usualmonitoring routine with minimal interruption.

Most problems with the Model 1108 are easy to identify andquickly corrected, and are found under the following generalheadings:

• Communications/dial-out functions

• Temperature monitoring

• Sound level monitoring

• Other monitoring functions

If you have tried the solutions outlined in this section and are notsatisfied with the results, call Customer Service, (610) 558-2700, orfollow the guidelines for shipping the Model 1108 to Phonetics forrepair (see Appendix C).

Appendix B: Checking for Proper Operation

93

Appendix B: Checking your Sensaphonefor Proper Operation

We recommend that you test your Sensaphone weekly to besure it is functioning properly. This will ensure that when aproblem arises the Sensaphone will be ready to alert theappropriate personnel.

There are several tests that can be performed:

1) Call the unit and listen to the Status Report. This will testthe unit’s ability to answer the phone and speak a mes-sage. It will also verify that all of the inputs are readingproperly, the alarm conditions are OK, the electricity ison, the microphone is functioning, and the batteries areOK.

2) Create an alarm on each input and allow the unit tocontact all programmed telephone numbers. This willmake sure that the Sensaphone is programmed properly.It will also prepare personnel to respond appropriatelywhen they receive a call from the Sensaphone.

3) Test the batteries by unplugging the AC adapter andmaking sure that the Sensaphone continues to function.Press WHAT IS, then STATUS on the keypad, and listento the status report. Make sure the report states that “theelectricity is off” and “battery condition OK”. Keep theAC adapter unplugged so that a Power Failure alarmoccurs. Allow the unit to dial all programmed telephonenumbers while running on battery backup. Plug in the ACadapter after the unit has finished dialing all of thetelephone numbers.

4) If you are using your Sensaphone to listen for a smokealarm, then be sure to test the smoke alarm to make surethat the Sensaphone picks up the audible signal andtriggers a high-sound-level alarm. Allow the unit to dialall programmed telephone numbers.
