I. Express II Detects a Change at the Sensor
• Express II detects a change in the
monitored condition (from the sensor wired
to one of the inputs). This is considered
an
alert condition
, and does not qualify as
a valid alarm at this point.
• The condition continues throughout the
programmed Recognition Time. If the
condition (or sensor) reverts to its normal
state before the Recognition Time is
reached, no alarm will occur.

• The condition must persist long enough to
meet or exceed the programmed Recogni-
tion Time. When Recognition Time has
expired, (or if set to zero), and the alarm
condition continues, the Express II will
determine that a valid alarm exists.
• When a valid alarm is determined, Call
Delay is activated (if not set to zero),
forcing the Express II to wait for a
programmed period of time before starting
the dial-out process. Call Delay applies to
the period just prior to dial-out, before the
first telephone call is made.
• Call Delay provides the opportunity to
cancel a valid alarm at the Express II’s
installation site, before dial-out occurs. An
audible voice message indicates which of
the inputs is in alarm. If on-site personnel
acknowledge the alarm within the Call
Delay time, the Express II will not dial out.
(Local Voice Mute is disabled, so that
alarm messages can be heard at the site.)
