8.3 Sensaphone 1108 RemoteControl Edition
The Sensaphone 1108 RemoteControl allows you to monitor and
check on the status of your facility from any cellular or ordinary
telephone. The Sensaphone 1108 RemoteControl also allows you
to turn a device on or off using the 1108 keypad or using your
touch-tone telephone. You can also inquire about the status of the
device during a voice status report.
This Sensaphone contains a relay contact on the rear of the unit
(See Figure 4). The relay contact supports both a normally open
and a normally closed contact, commonly referred to as a “double
throw” relay.
When the Sensaphone relay is turned ON, a connection is made
between the ON and C (common) terminals and the connection to
the OFF terminal is disconnected. When the Sensaphone relay is
turned OFF, a connection is made between the OFF and the C
(common) terminals and the connection beetween the ON and C
(common) is disconnected (See Figure 4).When the Sensaphone
unit is put in standby mode, the relay remains in its last known
state. If the Sensaphone is completely shut down by removing the
batteries and unplugging it from power, the relay returns to an
OFF state, connecting the OFF terminal to the C (common).
The Sensaphone relay is a low voltage relay. Only voltages less
than 30 volts AC 2AMPS, or 30 volts DC 2AMPS 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 sig-
nals (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.
