Alarm Acknowledgements
To acknowledge an alarm:
OK <input name> (
e.g. Text:
OK Pump
)
This will stop any further escalation of the alarm to the numbers in the phone list for that input
status change. It will begin at the top of the list the next time the input is activated.
To force the SMS Lite to send the alarm message to the next phone number in the list.
BUSY
<input name> (
e.g. Text:
BUSY Pump
)
Up to 3 other phones can be programmed to receive a notification. If Phone 1 replies ‘busy’ or if there
is no response after 10 minutes, the SMS Lite will send a text to the next programmed number.
Alarm Messages for Escalations

to reply BUSY:
Format:
<Site> <Input> has turned ON. Reply OK <Input> or BUSY <Input>. You are the <nth>
of N> to be sent this.
e.g.
Shed1 Pump has turned ON. Reply OK Pump or BUSY Pump. You are the 2
nd

this.

sent this message

Alarm has been acknowledged message:
<Site><Input> alarm has been acknowledged.
