Appendix A: Proper Operation
APPENDIX A
CHECKING YOUR SENSAPHONE FOR PROPER
OPERATION
We recommend that you test your Sensaphone weekly to be sure it is functioning properly.
This will ensure that when a problem arises the Sensaphone will be ready to alert the appro-
priate personnel.
There are several tests that can be performed:
1) Call the unit and listen to the Status Report. This will test the unit’s ability to
answer the phone and speak a message. It will also verify that the inputs are reading
properly, the alarm conditions are OK, the electricity is on, and that the batteries are
OK.
2) Create a test alarm on an input and allow the unit to contact all programmed
telephone numbers. This will make sure that the Sensaphone is programmed properly.
It will also prepare personnel to respond appropriately when they receive a call from
the Sensaphone.
3) Test the batteries by unplugging the AC power cord and making sure that the
Sensaphone continues to function. Check the battery voltage with a DC voltmeter at
the terminal screws or go online and check it on the System menu, to make sure it is at
least 13V. Reconnect the power supply when finished.
4) Test the internal modem by calling the Sensaphone from a computer and logging
on.
