When the alarm is initiated, the console beeper will be turned on and an alarm dial-out sequence will be initiated after the normal
dial-out delay. Both voice and digital communicator dial-outs may be used. The voice dial-out will follow the Dial Order as
specified in Set Up Dial. The digital communicator will report the Freeze Alarm Code to the Central Station.
The sounder is not activated for freeze alarms (this feature must be activated by your installer).
Outdoor Temperature
A Model 14A00 Outdoor Temperature Sensor is available which may be mounted outdoors to read the outdoor temperature. The
zone used for the outdoor sensor is set up as an outdoor temperature zone type, rather than as a PESM zone type. When set up
this way, the corresponding auxiliary output is not dedicated to the Model 14A00 and may be used for other purposes. Also, the
outdoor temperature will not generate freeze alarms.
Outdoor temperature zones have a High and Low temperature associated with them that can be used for control purposes. An
example of this is to program the system to turn on the bathroom heat if the outdoor temp goes below 45 degrees. High and Low
temperatures are changed the same way as a PESM.
Temperature Control of Appliances
You can control appliances connected to X-10 and ALC modules (such as a ceiling fan) using Advanced Control Programming
(ACP) of the OmniPro II. For example, the ceiling fan can be programmed to come on if the temperature goes above the High
temperature.
High and Low setpoints for temperature zones are changed the same way as the PESM. However, on/off control of the ceiling
fan is done from the 1 (CONTROL) menu. Use the ceiling fan's unit number to turn it On or Off. The PESM or Model 14A00
Temperature Sensor and the ceiling fan are linked together by an event button program.
Temperature Alarms
Temperature sensors can be used to signal that a temperature (in a special room, like a greenhouse or wine cooler) has gotten too
high or too low. If the temperature in this zone goes above the High setpoint or below the Low setpoint, the console beeper is
activated (inside and outside sirens are not activated) and the central station and/or voice dialer is called.
The High and Low setpoints are changed as described for the PESM. Use the zone number that the temperature sensor is
connected to in place of the unit number.
NOTE: Setting a High or Low temperature to 0 takes it out of service.
Humidity
The Model 31A00-2 Indoor/Outdoor Temperature and Humidity Sensor is used for sensing indoors temperature and/or reporting
the relative humidity from 0 to 100 percent or for sensing the outdoor temperature and/or reporting the outdoor relative humidity.
High and low humidity limits can be set for taking action (i.e. turning on the bathroom vent fan, running a/c in de-humidification
mode, turning on humidifier in heating mode, etc.) or reporting high or low humidity conditions in homes, greenhouses, wine
cellars, coolers, humidors, etc. Controlling humidity is particularly helpful in combating the growth of mold in vulnerable areas
of the home, such as bathrooms, basements, attics, etc.
The humidity level (0-100%), the low humidity setting, and high humidity setting can be viewed and modified using the
temperature menu. To enter the temperature menu, from the top-level display or from the main menu, press the 5 (TEMP) key.
The humidity zone can be specified by entering the zone number followed by the ' # ' key, or by pressing the arrow keys to scroll
through the list of temperature and humidity zones. Press the ' # ' key when the desired temperature zone is shown.
INDOOR: HUMI: 75
LOW: 10 HIGH: 90
