Chapter 1: Introduction
The Sensaphone®Model 1108 is a fully-programmable,
environmental monitoring system that offers extensive on-site and
remote monitoring capability to small businesses, private homes,
farms, greenhouses, computer rooms, and remote facilities.
Designed for desktop or wall mounting, the Model 1108 is simple
to install, program and operate; no changes to standard electrical
or telephone service are required. Connected to a telephone line,
it will respond to an alarm by dialing up to eight separate
telephone numbers. When the call is answered, an“Alert
Condition” message is delivered in digitized speech.
The Model 1108 features built-in sensors to monitor a variety of
conditions:
• High sound level
•AC electric power failure
• Battery backup
• Temperature*
*Note: While technically not a “built-in” sensor, tem-
perature is factory installed on input 1, and if left
installed will limit your additional inputs as listed
below to 7.
1108 is equipped with 8 alert inputs. Additional sensors* can be
added to extend monitoring capabilities to include:
•Intrusion or unauthorized entry
•Water leaks and seepage
•Temperature
• Humidity
•Equipment operation
•Other conditions that may require unique monitoring
solutions
* Refer to Appendix D for information on additional
sensors (available separately from Phonetics, Inc.)
best suited to your application.
The status of each monitored condition is readily obtained at the
unit’s installation site, or remotely by telephone. At the close of
every Status Report, time is provided for listening to on-site
sounds.
