Temperature Monitor and Alarm will repeat the warning message. This warning message can be repeated up to 2 times by changing the pro- grammed value. See the Programming Repeat Warning Messages sec- tion.

If the correct PIN number is not entered the Four Zone Temperature Moni- tor and Alarm will call the next programmed contact telephone number.

If the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm has called all programmed contact numbers without having the correct PIN number entered, it will wait 20 minutes and repeat the sequence until the alarm condition goes away or the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm receives confirmation either locally or remotely.

How can I connect the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm to a Phone Line which has a fax or answering machine connected to it? Program the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm to answer after one more ring than the other device. This allows the other device to always answer first. To call and access the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm

1.Dial the phone number

2.Hang up one ring before the other device answers.

3.Wait no longer than 30 seconds, then dial the phone number again. 4.The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm will answer.

For Example:

A fax machine on the same line as the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm is set to answer after 4 rings. The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm is programmed to answer after 5 rings. To access the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm, dial the number, let it ring three times, then hang up. Wait 20 seconds and call again. after two rings, the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm will answer.

Troubleshooting

Verifying telephone communication

To verify telephone communications, perform the following test.

1Using another phone line, call the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm and verify that it answers the phone.

2Verify at least one programmed telephone number.

3Hang up.

4Call the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm again.

5Enter #999 for the PIN.

6Hang up.

7The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm will perform a test call to your programmed telephone number's.

► Do not enter your PIN if you would like the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm to continue calling any remaining programmed tele- phone numbers.

Installing the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm

Select a location with access to 120 VAC power, an analog telephone line, and a network drop (DCP models).

Mount the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm to the wall.

Connect the phone line to an active analog telephone jack.

A surge suppresser must be used for the phone line.

Connect the RJ45 patch cord to an active network drop and into the LAN jack. (DCP models)

Plug the power jack into the POWER INPUT before plugging the power pack into a wall outlet.

A surge suppresser must also be used for the power line.

Connect Sensors and Inputs

Temperature Sensors must be installed before turning on the unit.

Turn on the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm by moving the power switch to the left of the terminal blocks to the “1” position.

Getting Started with OMA-VM520-DCP (optional data logging package)

Download and install the DCP software from: http://www.Omega.com

Set the IP address of your Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm

Run the IP Setup program.

Click on the red button to find all of the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm devices on your network. A list of their IP address’ are displayed. Click on the IP address of the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm de- vice which you are setting with a new IP address. The selected IP address will turn yellow.

Type in a free and valid static IP address (contact your IT Administrator for as- sistance.)

Click on the green button to set the selected Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm’s current IP address to the new static IP address. You will be prompted to confirm this change. Click OK to proceed. This process will take approximately 2 minutes.

The program will once again find all of the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarms on your network. Please verify that the IP address has been changed. If not repeat the above procedure.

See the Troubleshooting section for assistance with network issues.
