Operation
When the programmed threshold is surpassed and the cellular
module sends an alert but the call is unsuccessful (due to line being
busy, down, etc.), the cellular module will redial after 1, 2, 4, 8,16,
32 and 60 minutes. It will then attempt to dial every hour until it is
successful or the sensor value falls above or below the threshold.
With some phone systems, the Cellular Alert will recognize an an-
swering machine/voicemail as a successful call and will not contin-
ue to redial. With many phone systems, the Cellular Alert will leave
a voicemail of beeping sounds but also recognize that it was a
failed attempt and retry until successful.
If the cellular module is set up to send a text message only, there is
no way to verify if the text was successfully received. Spectrum rec-
ommends both Voice Call and Text Message options are set to
YES.
If a voice call is programmed the receiving phone will hear beeps—
not a prerecorded recording.
