5.8 AC Power Monitoring Enable/Disable

The Model 1108 monitors AC power failure. This command enables or disables the power failure detection feature.When enabled, the Model 1108 will monitor power and dial out when AC power failure exceeds a programmable span of time (refer to AC Power Failure Recognition Time, Section 5.9).

The default setting for AC power monitoring is enabled (on). When disabled, the Model 1108 will not dial out to report power failure.

5.8.1Enabling/Disabling the AC Power Alarm

1.Press SENSOR ON/OFF.

5.9AC Power Failure Recognition Time

The AC Power Failure Recognition Time is the length of time that AC electric power is off before a valid alarm is recognized and dial-out begins. The default setting is 5 minutes, 0 seconds, but is programmable from 0 seconds to a maximum of 272 minutes.

When AC power failure occurs, and throughout the programmed Recognition Time, the Model 1108 steadily repeats the message “the electricity is off” at the unit’s installation site. There is no Call Delay programming available for AC power failure. Immediately following Recognition Time, the Model 1108 begins the dial-out process to report power failure.

To cancel the power-failure message locally at the keypad (during or after Recognition Time) press any key on the Model 1108 keypad. This action also cancels the dial-out process. The AC power failure alarm may also be cancelled remotely, by telephone acknowledgment (see Chapter 6, Section 6.1).
