6.2.2 Example: Status Report, Existing Alarms
Inputs 2, 3, 4 and 6 are configured as dry contact and inputs 1, 5,
7 and 8 are configured as temperature. An emergency situation is
at hand: a fire in a greenhouse has tripped a smoke alarm and
electrical power has been disrupted. In addition to high sound and
AC power alarms, separate alarms exist on inputs 5, 6, 7, and 8.
You happen to call in for the Status Report, which begins with,
“Hello, this is telephone number 555-1234; the time is 12:15PM.”
Following this introduction, the report continues:
“Number 1, 74 degrees, OK.”
“Number 2, OK.”
“Number 3, OK.”
“Number 4, OK.”
“Number 5, 105 degrees, HIGH.”
“Number 6, EXISTS.”
“Number 7, 110 degrees, HIGH.”
“Number 8, 98 degrees, HIGH.”
“The electricity is OFF.”
“Battery condition, OK.”
“Sound level, HIGH.”
“Warning message received by ...(last telephone number
dialed*).”
“Listen to the sound level for 10 seconds.”
The Status Report repeats once more and the Model 1108
concludes the call by saying:“Have a good day.”
* The“last telephone number dialed” refers to any
one of the programmed, dial-out telephone numbers
through which the Model 1108 was able to receive
alarm acknowledgment, prior to your call for a Status
Report; this could also refer to the Model 1108’s I.D.
Number (identification number), if the alarms are
acknowledged at the keypad by someone present at
the site.
