efficiently. This is also an easy way to hear what your security code is if you have
forgotten the code.
If you have forgotten your security code, there is no way to remotely change the code.
You will need to go to the monitored location, plug a phone into the front of the
Wireless WaterAlarm, go to menu option 3 in the programming menu and review or
change the security code at that time. If you are receiving calls from your Wireless
WaterAlarm, the unit will tell you the security code during the alarm message.
Menu Option 4
Review or Program the Number of Rings Before the Unit Answers
This is also referred to as the “incoming ring count”. When you call your Wireless
WaterAlarm from a remote location, the Wireless WaterAlarm will be waiting to hear a
specified number of rings before it picks up. You can select the number of rings you
wish the Wireless WaterAlarm to hear before it will pick up. Through this menu
option, you can select to have the Wireless WaterAlarm answer after from 1 to 30 rings
have been counted by the Wireless WaterAlarm. The factory default incoming ring
count is set at five (5) rings.
This feature is provided for several reasons:
1.
If you have an answering machine or voice mail at the monitored location, you
generally want people calling that location to be able to leave a message. If the
Wireless WaterAlarm answers before your message system answers it will override
the answering machine or voice mail. You can program the Wireless WaterAlarm
to answer on a number of rings that is greater than that of your message system and
still have people leave messages for you. To gain access to your Wireless
WaterAlarm instead of the message system, follow the procedures outlined in
Section 3.3,
Use of Answering Machines or Voice Mail at the Monitored Location
.
2.
When you are visiting your monitored location, you may receive frequent phone
calls from outside callers. With a smaller incoming ring count selected, there is the
possibility the Wireless WaterAlarm could answer if several callers called within a
three and a half minute period of time. If you normally receive many calls at the
monitored location, you may wish to set the incoming ring count to a higher
number.
Menu Option 5
Review or Program the Number of Minutes the Power is Out Before Calling with a
Power Alarm
The Wireless WaterAlarm has the ability to call you if the power to the Wireless
WaterAlarm has failed. In this menu option, you can select the number of minutes that
the power is out before it calls you with a power out alarm. You can select any number
of minutes from 0 to 120. The power will have to be out continuously for the number
of minutes selected before calling you. For example, if you have the power out timer
set at 60 minutes and the power goes out for 40 minutes and then comes back on for a
brief moment and then goes off again, the timer resets to zero. The Wireless
WaterAlarm will keep track of the number of minutes the power is out and tell you
