When the alarm is initiated, the console beeper will be turned on and an alarm dial-out sequence will be initiated after the normal
dial-out delay. Both voice and digital communicator dial-outs may be used. The voice dial-out will follow the Dial Order as
specified in Set Up Dial. The digital communicator will report the Freeze Alarm Code to the Central Station.
The sounder is not activated for freeze alarms (this feature must be activated by your installer).
Outdoor Temperature
A Model AEG-OT Outdoor Temperature Sensor is available which may be mounted outdoors to read the outdoor temperature.
The zone used for the outdoor sensor is set up as an outdoor temperature zone type, rather than as a PESM zone type. When set
up this way, the corresponding auxiliary output is not dedicated to the Outdoor Temperature Sensor and may be used for other
purposes. Also, the outdoor temperature will not generate freeze alarms.
Outdoor temperature zones have a High and Low temperature associated with them that can be used for control purposes. An
example of this is to program the system to turn on the bathroom heat if the outdoor temp goes below 45 degrees. High and Low
temperatures are changed the same way as a PESM. The zone status will be considered true if it is between the setpoints.
Temperature Control of Appliances
You can control appliances connected to X-10 and ALC modules (such as a ceiling fan) using the Advanced Control
Programming (ACP) of the Aegis 3000. For example, the ceiling fan can be programmed to come on if the temperature goes
above the High temperature setpoint.
High and Low setpoints for temperature zones are changed the same way as the PESM. However, on/off control of the ceiling
fan is done from the 1 (CONTROL) menu. Use the ceiling fan's X-10 or ALC unit number to turn it On or Off. The PESM or
Model 14A00 Temperature Sensor and the ceiling fan are linked together by an event button program.
Temperature Alarms
PESMs can be used to signal that a temperature (in a special room, like a greenhouse or wine cooler) has gotten too high or too
low. If the temperature in this zone goes above the High setpoint or below the Low setpoint, the console beeper is activated
(inside and outside sirens are not activated) and the central station and/or voice dialer is called.
The High and Low setpoints are changed as described for the PESM. Use the zone number that the temperature sensor is
connected to in place of the unit number.
NOTE:
Setting a High or Low temperature to 0 takes it out of service.
Status
The Status function is used to display the status of various items in the system. To enter the status menu, from the top-level
