You will be given two chances to enter the correct security code. If incorrect
two times, the FreezeAlarm will say, Incorrect Security Code, good-bye and
then it will hang up. If you enter the correct security code, the FreezeAlarm
will respond with:
The alarm call-out is now canceled. To return to the main menu, press 1.
Otherwise, hang up.
Calling into your FreezeAlarm to Cancel the Alarm Call-Out:
If you received calls from your FreezeAlarm and know there is an alarm at your
monitored location, you can call into your FreezeAlarm from any phone in the
world and remotely cancel the alarm call-out without having to wait for another
call from your FreezeAlarm. If you have an answering machine or voice mail at
the monitored location, read the section Use of an Answering Machine or Voice
Mail at the Monitored Location on page 21 before proceeding.
Follow this procedure:
1.
Call your monitored location’s phone number where the FreezeAlarm is
located.
2.
When the FreezeAlarm answers, you will hear the following:
Hello, this is your Automated Monitoring System. (Or you will hear your
custom alarm message that was recorded earlier)
The current temperature is # # degrees, the power is on (or off), and the
battery is at #.# # volts. There is an alarm condition at your remote
monitored location. The following alarms currently exist or have occurred
recently at location # # # #.
This will be followed by one or more alarm conditions. A four digit location
code will also be played. This is the same number as your security code.
There is a temperature alarm at location # # # #
The power at location # # # # has been out for # # # minutes and is currently
on (or off).
There is a battery alarm at location # # # #.
The auxiliary alarm input is in alarm mode (or your custom recorded
auxiliary alarm message will play here instead).
Please check conditions at your monitored location immediately.
This entire message will repeat again and be followed by:
To cancel the alarm call-out, enter your four digit security code followed by
the pound “#” key.
You will be given two chances to enter the correct security code. If incorrect
two times, the FreezeAlarm will say, Incorrect Security Code, good-bye and
26
then it will hang up. If you enter the correct security code, the FreezeAlarm
will respond with:
The alarm call-out is now canceled. You are now in the main menu. From
here, you can either access main menu functions or hang up.
If the Alarm Call-Out Has Been Canceled By Someone Else:
Since the FreezeAlarm can call multiple phone numbers, there is a chance that a
person at one of the other call-to locations may have canceled the alarm call-out
prior to your phone call to the FreezeAlarm. If that occurs, you will still hear the
current status and all the alarm conditions when you call into the FreezeAlarm,
but you will not be given a chance to cancel the alarm call-out. Instead, the
FreezeAlarm will ask for your four digit security code to access the main menu.
You can either enter your security code to check current conditions again or hang
up and determine the steps needed to correct the alarm conditions.
It is even possible that one of your other call-to people has canceled the alarm
call-out and the alarm conditions have improved at your monitored location. If
that has occurred, you will not hear any alarm conditions, but instead, you will be
given a current status and then an opportunity to enter the main menu.
3.6 Replacing the Back-Up Battery:
When the battery requires replacing, we highly recommend replacing it with a
new 9 volt lithium battery. Follow this procedure to change the back-up battery.
1.
Switch the front toggle switch to the STANDBY position.
2.
Remove the old battery and insert the new battery.
3.
Switch the front toggle switch back to the ON position.
A fresh 9V lithium battery will provide approximately 10 to 15 hours of power to
the FreezeAlarm if it is calling out every 15 minutes to all three phone numbers.
If it is calling to fewer numbers, calling out every 2 hours or the alarm call-out
was cancelled during one of the first calls, the battery life should be longer. Too
many variables exist to provide accurate battery life for every condition.
There are other battery and power supply discussed in section 4.4 on Page 27.
3.7 Disconnecting the FreezeAlarm for Seasonal Storage:
Your FreezeAlarm can provide year round protection, but if desired, it can be
safely stored for seasonal use. To store your FreezeAlarm, disconnect all cables
and wires and take out the battery. If you leave a battery in your FreezeAlarm,
the battery will be dead the next time you are ready to use your FreezeAlarm.
Storing electrical devices with batteries in place is not recommended. Store your
FreezeAlarm in a dry place with no excessive temperatures.
The FreezeAlarm will indefinitely retain all programmed call-to phone numbers
and other programmed settings, even if the power cord is disconnected and the
