Current Status: Provides the current status of the various sensors.
The current temperature is XX degrees, the power is on (or off), the
battery is at X.XX volts and the auxiliary alarm input is currently
(in/not in) alarm mode.
Remote Switch Status: This is where you can easily change the position
of the remote switch status. This can be used to switch between one
thermostat set at a lower temperature to another thermostat set at a
higher temperature, allowing you essentially warm up a space before
you arrive. It can also be used to turn on or off a remote device by
telephone. Use of this feature is detailed in Appendix B on page 39.
Program Menu: It is recommended you listen to all the menu options
once before programming to become familiar with the program menu.
At the end of the menu, it will pause and then start playing from the
beginning again.

IMPORTANT: After programming is completed, flip the front
ON/STANDBY switch to the ON position for normal operation of your
FreezeAlarm.
IMPORTANT WARNING! After Programming, you must
return the front toggle switch to the ON position or the
FreezeAlarm will not call you if an alarm condition occurs and
you will be unable to call into your FreezeAlarm remotely!
CRITICAL! TEST YOUR FREEZEALARM to make sure it
calls your call-to telephone numbers during an alarm. See the
Test Procedure detailed on page 18.
2.4 Programming Your FreezeAlarm Remotely:
By calling into your FreezeAlarm from a remote phone or cell phone
1.
Make sure all the connections have been made according to section 1.5 on
page 8. You will not need to plug a phone into the “PROGRAM PHONE”
jack on the front of the FreezeAlarm to program the FreezeAlarm remotely.
2.
Make sure the toggle switch on the front of the FreezeAlarm is in the ON
position.
3.
From an outside phone or a mobile/cell phone, call the telephone number of
your monitored location. The FreezeAlarm will answer after five rings have
been heard by the FreezeAlarm. If you have an answering machine or voice
mail at the monitored location, you may need to place two or more calls to
18
the monitored location to circumvent the answering machine or voice mail.
For more details on this topic, see the section about Answering Machines
and Voice Mail on page 21.
4.
When the FreezeAlarm answers, you will hear the following:
Hello, this is your automated monitoring system (or a custom greeting
message if recorded earlier). The current temperature is XX degrees, the
power is on (or off), and the battery is at X.XX volts.
If no alarm conditions are present at the current time, you will then hear:
There are no alarm conditions occurring at this time. To access the main
menu, enter your four digit security code followed by the pound (#) key.
If alarm conditions do exist when you call into your FreezeAlarm, the
FreezeAlarm will play any alarm conditions present at that time instead of
the above message. See the section What Happens During An Alarm on
page 22 for more details on what to do if this message is playing. You can
still continue to remotely program the unit even if alarm conditions are
present.
5.
Enter your four digit security code followed by # on your telephone key pad.
If the security code is correct, the main menu will play. If the security code
is incorrect, you will be given one more chance and then the FreezeAlarm
will say Incorrect Security Code, good-bye and then hang up.
6.
From the Main Menu, select menu option 3 to enter the Program Menu.
From the program menu, you can review or program your call-to telephone
numbers, security code, temperature alarm setpoints, and other options.
There are six programming options in the Programming Menu. Each Menu
Option is discussed in detail in section 2.2.
7.
IMPORTANT: Flip the front ON/STANDBY switch to the ON position for
normal operation of your FreezeAlarm.
IMPORTANT WARNING! After Programming, you must
return the front toggle switch to the ON position or the
FreezeAlarm will not call you if an alarm condition occurs and
you will be unable to call into your FreezeAlarm remotely!
CRITICAL! TEST YOUR FREEZEALARM to make sure it
calls your call-to telephone numbers during an alarm. See the
Test Procedure detailed below.
2.5 Testing Your FreezeAlarm
It is CRITICAL that you test your FreezeAlarm to ensure you have programmed
all the telephone numbers correctly and to make sure the FreezeAlarm is working
properly with your telephone line. Before you start the test, make sure the front
toggle switch is in the ON position.
