Alert
— There are three alert choices:
REDIAL
will trigger the actuator to press the button on the
phone three times to make the call.
SPD DIAL
will trigger the actuator arm to press the button on
the phone once (holding it for 3 seconds) to make the call.
(Based on the type of phone that is being used, one, two or
three presses of the talk or speed dial button will result in the
phone call).
RELAY
is only used to trigger a switch that will perform an ac-
tion such as sound a horn, turn on a fan, or turn on an irrigation
system. It will not trigger the actuator to make a call. (See Re-
lay Function Setup on page 12) All three Alert devices will acti-
vate the relay.
Once the threshold has been crossed for 30 seconds, the alert
action will be triggered. If the sensor value returns into the ac-
ceptable range for 30 seconds the unit will be reset. The Cellu-
lar Alert will then initiate another alert action if the threshold is
re-crossed. An alarm will also be generated if the meter does
not detect the sensor.
Run Mode
— If the Cell Alert is not actively monitoring the sensor, the
Run Mode screen will display the text "Push SET". Press the Set but-
ton to start monitoring. When the unit is in monitoring mode, the LCD
screen will display the current reading from the sensor. This reading is
updated every 5 seconds. You should verify the sensor is reading an
accurate value. Pressing the SET button will turn off the display screen
but will not de-activate monitoring. To deactivate monitoring, press the
Display button to transition to the OFF option. Press the SET button to
turn off the device and deactivate monitoring
.
Tip:
If you have multiple cellular alerts, you might want to program
the phone you are calling to identify the Alert number. For ex-
ample, phone # 815-436-4440 could be given the name
‘North40’.
Important:
If the receiving cell phone has a keyboard lock, this may
require a special key combination to be pressed after the
phone turns off the display. Make sure this function is turned
off or the actuator will not be able to make a call.
