If the unit encounters a low battery condition
How the FA-700 handles an alarm condition
Stage
Description
A.
When an alarm occurs, the alarm LED lights up
(if not an AC power failure).
B.
The FA-700 starts calling the programmed phone number attempting to
deliver an in progress alarm voice message. If the FA-700 receives a busy
signal or no answer after 10 rings
,
it will immediately hang up.
C.
The FA-700 will continue calling the programmed phone number, every 15 or
60 minutes
(DIP switch selectable)
until a called party answers.
D.
When the called party answers
(person or answering machine)
, the FA-700
will deliver its factory pre-recorded alarm message, identifying the specific
alarm condition(s).
E.
The FA-700 will continue calling until the following action is taken:
•
Locally, press the CANCEL key on the key pad.
•
Remotely, over the phone, press the number “1” key and then the “#” key
on the key pad anytime during the alarm message.
F.
Once the alarm call-out is canceled, the FA-700 will do one of two things:
•
If the alarm is still active, the FA-700 allows you to call to hear the current
alarm condition.
•
If the alarm condition has been corrected, the FA-700 will not respond to
the incoming call.
G.
When you cancel an alarm call-out, and correct the cause of the alarm, the
alarm LED will go out, and the unit will reset to normal operation
automatically.
DIP switch functions and settings
The FA-700 has a 4-position DIP switch. The switch settings determine how the FA-700 will
respond to specific alarm conditions. Figure 2 shows the DIP switch and Table 3 explains the
functions of each switch. Turn the FA-700 upside down as shown in Figure 2 for proper DIP
switch orientation.

Note:
Use a ballpoint pen or similar small object to set the DIP switches.

Switch
Function
(switch in UP position is the default)
1
Temperature low or high:
•
UP, when the monitored environment temp falls below 45ºF
(7.2ºC)
an
alarm message is sent.
•
DOWN,
when the monitored environment temp rises above 85ºF
(29.4ºC)
an alarm message is sent.
2
Pick-up ring count when calling your FA-700 to cancel an alarm:
•
UP, “5” rings before the FA-700 will answer.
•
DOWN, “10” rings before the FA-700 will answer.
If pick-up ring count is similar to an answering machine pick up, or how
many rings you must wait before the machine responds.
3
Monitors call out frequency:
•
UP
,
calls out every 15 minutes
.
•
DOWN
,
calls out every 2 hours.
When the monitor goes into alarm mode, it will begin calling the programmed
phone number. If the alarm condition is not canceled, it will call again every
15 or 60 minutes until the alarm is canceled.

Do Not Use
Default position: OFF
Initial setup
Connecting to AC power
•
Do not touch the barrel connector end of the AC power adapter with wet hands when
plugged into AC power. Failure to observe this warning could result in an electrical shock.
•
Do not install or connect the FA-700 to power or phone lines during a lightning storm.
Failure to observe this warning could result in an electrical shock.
Power up sequence
Upon power up, the FA-700 LEDs will do the following:
•
The Power, Program, and Alarm LEDs will light for a few seconds, then the Program and
Alarm LEDs will turn OFF
•
The Power LED will remain ON
Note:
A surge protector is recommended, but not provided. You can purchase a surge
protector from Protected Home or from a local computer or hardware store.
To connect AC power to the FA-700 through the AC power adapter, follow the number
sequence shown in Figure 3.
