NOTE: 
This phone will only be used to program 
your FreezeAlarm locally or for locally 
checking current status of your 
FreezeAlarm.  It is important to UNPLUG 
this phone from the front after you are 
done programming or making any changes. 

4.

 

Using the telephone cord supplied with the FreezeAlarm, connect one end to 
the OUT TO WALLJACK connection on the back of the FreezeAlarm and 
the other end into your telephone jack on the wall. 

 
 

 

If you are using a surge suppressor that also protects the telephone line, there 
should be an “IN” and “OUT” labeling or diagram for proper connection of 
the phone lines.  See the diagram below for details on the phone line 
connections and follow the instructions that came with your surge 
suppressor. 

 

 

 

5.

 

Plug in your standard, single line telephone to the “PROGRAM PHONE” 
jack on the front of your FreezeAlarm.  See Figure below. 

 

 

 

 

 

1.7  Connecting Additional Alarm Devices to the Auxiliary Alarm Input: 
 

This is most often used to connect our WaterAlarm, MiniAlarm motion sensor or 
one of our auxiliary temperature alarms.  Any sensor or alarm device that opens 
or closes a dry (non voltage) contact can be connected to the auxiliary alarm 
input.  Connection of more than one alarm device to the auxiliary alarm input is 
possible by connecting them in parallel as noted below.  The auxiliary alarm 
input cannot accept any device that sends voltage through the contact wire.

During programming you can set the Auxiliary Alarm Input to monitor for either 
a contact closure (default position) or for a contact opening.  When the Auxiliary 
Alarm Input is either closed or opened (depending upon the setup), it will trigger 
the FreezeAlarm to begin calling your preprogrammed telephone numbers and 
play a special message you can record for whatever alarm device is connected to 
the auxiliary alarm input.  For instance, if you have our WaterAlarm connected, 
you can record an alarm message that will play warning you of a water 
emergency at your monitored location instead of the factory default “Auxiliary 
Alarm” message. 

 
1.8  Using the Remote Switch Feature (T1, T2 and COM connections): 
 

The Remote Switch allows you to remotely turn on or off another device by 
telephone or remotely switch between two different thermostats to pre-heat or 
cool your monitored location.  This installation is detailed in Appendix B. 

 

2.0 PROGRAMMING: 

 

You can program your FreezeAlarm using a regular home telephone or you can 
remotely access your FreezeAlarm and program it using a cell phone or a phone 
at another location.  This feature allows you to remotely change programming 
selections at a later time from any phone in the world.  Most first time users 
program their FreezeAlarm locally, or at the location where the FreezeAlarm is 
located by using a single line home telephone.  A cordless phone may work, but a 
standard single line home telephone with a wired handset will work best.  An 
explanation of each menu option with helpful hints on programming is provided 
after the quick programming guide. 

 
2.1  Quick Program: 
 

If you feel comfortable with the various menu options and want to get your 
FreezeAlarm up and running quickly, follow the steps below.  This provides a 
quick method to program up to three call-to phone numbers into your 
FreezeAlarm in just a few minutes.  You should program at least one call-to
