Review or Program the Number of Minutes the Power Should be Out Before Calling
with a Power Alarm (Menu Option 5):
The FreezeAlarm has the ability to call you if the power to the FreezeAlarm has failed.
Through this menu option, you can select the number of minutes that the power should
be 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 FreezeAlarm will keep
track of the number of minutes the power is out and tell you during an alarm call how
long the power has been out and if the power is currently on or off. The factory default
for the power out timer is 60 minutes.
To Review or Record Messages (Menu Option 6):
You can record both a greeting and an alarm message on your FreezeAlarm. Each
message can be 20 seconds long. The following explains how the messages work.
Greeting Message:
This is played whenever you call into your FreezeAlarm from a
remote location. This greeting message is helpful if you plan on having relatives or
neighbors call into your FreezeAlarm to check on the property. If there is no answering
machine or voice mail, you may record a message that indicates this machine does not
accept messages and requests the caller to try back later. If you do not record a separate
Greeting Message, the factory default message is:
Hello, this is your automated
monitoring system.
Alarm Message:
This is played whenever the FreezeAlarm calls out with an alarm. It
will precede the factory alarm messages so it can contain personal information about
your name, address, etc. It is useful to record an alarm message that will help people at
your call-to locations better identify that the call is from your FreezeAlarm. If calling
to a monitored service or a contractor, they may also like a custom alarm message that
provides address information. The factory default message is:
Hello, this is your
automated monitoring system. There is an alarm condition at your remote monitored
location. The following alarms exist or have existed recently.
This is then followed by
our factory alarm messages telling you specifically what alarm conditions are or have
recently occurred.
If you do record your own custom alarm message, the factory recorded messages
indicating the specific alarms that are occurring will still play after your custom alarm
message has played.
Reinstating the Factory Default Message:
If you record a custom Greeting or Alarm Message but decide you would rather have
the factory default message instead, you can reinstate the factory default alarm or
greeting message.
