3.
Enter the phone number
(up to 60 digits)
—beeps with each key press.
4.
Press the PROGRAM key—a beep and the program LED go out. The
number was entered successfully.
Changing the call-to phone number
Follow the “entering phone number” procedure to overwrite the call-to phone number.
Installation considerations
The FA-700 should be installed in a dry, clean location near an AC power outlet and a
telephone wall jack, as shown in Figure 7.
•
Do not install or connect your FA-700 monitor to power or phone lines during a lightning
storm. Failure to observe this warning could result in an electrical shock.
•
Do not install the FA-700 in a confined space, such as a bookcase or in-cabinet, in direct
sunlight, or where it might get exposed to water. Failure to observe this caution could
result in poor performance or damage to the FA-700.
•
Use ONLY the AC power adapter sent with the FA-700. The use of other AC power
adapters could result in damage to the FA-700.
•
Do not install the FA-700 in high dust and debris areas. Failure to observe this caution
could result in damage to the FA-700.
•
Do not install the FA-700 in an area with chemical fumes or corrosive vapors. Failure to
observe this caution could result in damage to the FA-700.
FA-700 assembled
Figure 7 shows an example of an ideal setup of the FA-700 fully assembled. Place the FA-
700 on any flat surface, preferably a table top near an AC Power outlet and a phone jack as
shown in Figure 7. Once the FA-700 is fully assembled and operational
(power LED ON)
,
perform a phone test to ensure that the FA-700 can call the call-to phone number during an
alarm.

Phone test
After entering the call-to phone number, it is crucial that you test your FA-700 to verify that
it can reach the programmed phone number.
Note:
The CANCEL key does not function when the FA-700 is in “test mode.”
Testing your FA-700
To test the FA-700, do the following:
Step
Action
1.
Make sure the FA-700 is powered up and in normal operation mode.
2.
Press the TEST button—the FA-700 beeps and the alarm LED illuminates
solid RED.
3.
•
FA-700 will immediately dial the call-to phone number.
•
Upon answering, the unit will play the following message: “This is a test
of the FreezeAlarm.”
•
It will repeat this message for approximately “1” minute and then hang
up, and the alarm LED will go out.
The FA-700 does not provide any indication of call success; therefore, you must verify that
the call was made successfully.
Testing for a specific alarm condition
To test for a
temperature alarm you will have to simulate that specific alarm condition and
then verify if the alarm phone call went through. In this scenario, you must cancel the alarm
call out and correct the alarm condition.
Ring count timer
The ring timer works in the following way: when the first call comes in during an alarm
event, the timer starts counting down for “3” continuous minutes. If the FA-700 receives
enough rings to answer
(within “3” minutes)
, it will respond, and the ring counter will reset
to “0” regardless if the three minutes have elapsed or not. Also, the timer will reset to “0” if
no additional calls are received during a three minute period
(multiple calls to the FA-700
within “3”minutes will not reset the ring timer).
Calling the FA-700 during an alarm event
To call the FA-700 during an alarm, do the following:
Step
Action
1.
Call the phone number of location where the FA-700 is located—the FA-700
will answer in 5 or 10 rings
(DIP switch set)
and deliver an alarm specific
message.
2.
Listen to the message describing the alarm condition.
3.
Hang up the phone.
