Phone test
After entering the phone number, it is crucial that you test your WA-700 to verify that it can
reach the call-to phone number.
Note:
The CANCEL key does not function when the WA-700 is in ―test mode.‖
Testing your WA-700
To test the WA-700, do the following:
Step
Action
1.
Make sure the WA-700 is powered up and in normal operation mode.
2.
Press the TEST button – the WA-700 beeps and the alarm LED illuminates
solid red.
WA-700 will immediately dial the call-to phone number . Upon
answering, the unit will play the following message: ―This is a test
of the WaterAlarm‖
It will repeat this message for approximately ―1‖ minute and then
hang up, and the alarm LED will go out.
The WA-700 does not provide any indication of call success; therefore, you must verify that
the call was made successfully.
Testing for a specific alarm condition
To test for a water alarm you will have to simulate that specific alarm condition and then
verify if the alarm phone call went through. In this scenario, you must cancel the alarm call
out and correct the alarm condition.
Ring count timer
The ring timer works in the following way: when the first call comes in during an alarm
event, the timer starts counting down for ―3‖ continuous minutes. If the WA-700 receives
enough rings to answer
(within “3” minutes)
, it will respond, and the ring counter will reset
to ―0‖ regardless if the three minutes have elapsed or not. Also, the timer will reset to ―0‖ if
no additional calls are received during a three minute period
(multiple calls to the WA-700
within “3”minutes will not reset the ring timer).
Calling the WA-700 during an alarm event
To call the WA-700 during an alarm, do the following:
Step
Action
1.
