It is not recommended that the unit be turned OFF unless absolutely
necessary. (See DISCONNECTING THE MODEL 1100, page 13.) Full
power is still
consumed by the unit even though it cannot be programmed or interro-
gated. Also, the unit cannot dial out with an alarm.
PHONE LINE
The Sensaphone Model 1100 will operate with all standard telephone
systems that accept pulse or tone dialing. The Sensaphone Model 1100
cannot be used on an extension line to dial its own telephone number.
Also, it may not be installed on a party line or pay telephone line.
Certain private telephone systems and public switching equipment may
not accept Sensaphone dialing or may generate an unacceptable ring
signal. In those cases, a dedicated line may be required for the 1100.
Consult the supplier of your telephone system if you encounter problems.
If you do not have a modular telephone extension at the Model 1100’s
location, you must contact your local telephone company to have one
installed (there is a charge for this service). If you have four-pin jacks,
adapters are available to convert them to the modular plugs. Contact your
local telephone company or electronics parts store.
CAUTION: Never install telephone wiring during a lightning
storm. Never install telephone lacks in wet locations unless the
jack is specifically designed for wet locations. Never touch
uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the network interface. Use caution
when installing or modifying telephone lines.
To install the telephone line, plug the provided modular telephone jack
into any standard RJ11 phone outlet. See figure 4:
