Chapter 8: Special Editions

8.2 Sensaphone 1108 BusinessSitter Edition

The Sensaphone 1108 BusinessSitter allows you to monitor and check on the status of your facility from any cellular or ordinary telephone. The Sensaphone 1108 BusinessSitter turns a device on when an alarm occurs. You can also inquire about the status of the device during a voice status report.

This Sensaphone edition contains a relay contact on the rear of the unit (See Figure 3). The relay contact supports a normally open relay.

When the Sensaphone detects an alarm condition, it closes this relay, which then activates the device attached to the relay. The relay remains closed throughout the alarm process, even while the Sensaphone is making its alarm-response telephone calls out to you. Reset of the alarm relay may occur either locally or remotely via the telephone. This is discussed further in following sections.

The Sensaphone relay is a low voltage relay. Only voltages less than 30 volts AC 2AMPS, or 30 volts DC 2 AMPS may be switched. For higher voltages, an additional high-voltage relay would be required.

Always enlist the services of a licensed electrician when working with high voltages. Improper wiring can cause harm to you or your property.

NOTE: For safety reasons it is highly recommended that the unit only be used to switch low voltage signals (30 volts or less). If you intend to control higher voltages you must install the unit in an NEC approved electrical panel or enclosure and have wiring performed by a qualified electrician.
