1Product Overview
1.1 Product Description
The Guard-ItTM alarm autodialer is designed to monitor conditions at remote
facilities and place alarm notification telephone calls to personnel, delivering
specific pre-recorded messages.
Users may also call the product at any time from any telephone, to check for
alarm conditions.
Four signal inputs are provided for monitoring. The signals which the user
connects to these four inputs may be any combination of contact closure, digital
logic level, or analog 4-20 ma current loop. In addition, the product monitors
the 12 volt DC power connected to it, and if an optional rechargeable battery
has been installed, it will place alarm calls to report power failures.
The product will work with any standard dial-up public telephone line, as well
as with the available CellularmTM option. Leased lines are not required.
Using a programming phone at the front panel. the user may pre-record
informative, high-fidelity voice messages up to 12 seconds in length, for each of
the four input channels, plus a station identification message which is played
during every phone call.
The user may program up to 8 phone numbers, which may be up to 60 digits in
length. The product may also be programmed to call numerical display pagers
in addition to regular phone numbers.
If desired, the user may program a number of detail parameters such as alarm
trip delays, ring answer delays, etc.
A special Call Progress function may be turned on, which allows the product to
detect busy signals and move automatically to the next programmed phone
number, delay the voice reporting until the called phone has answered, and
move to the next phone number if a programmable maximum number of rings
has been exceeded.
A phone line fault monitor function may also be turned on, which detects the
disconnection or failure of the phone line.
Informative, multi-color front panel LED’s advise local personnel at a glance of
any problems.
