CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Sensaphone Express II by Phonetics, Inc. Express II is a powerful environmen-
tal and process monitoring system. It handles your current monitoring, alarm and control needs,
and is able to grow when your application grows.
Express II comes standard with 8 universal input channels and one built-in relay output. Input
capacity is expandable up to 40 channels (on 5 cards). Output capacity may be expanded up to
16 channels (on two cards), in which case input is limited to 24 channels (3 cards).
Express II can call up to 48 Phone Contacts, using pulse or Touch-Tone dialing. Dialing Sched-
ules and Phone Contact List features enable you to create a priority dialing list depending on
which input is alarm-activated, the time of day, and day of week. Call progress detection en-
sures that no time is wasted on busy signals and no-answers during the dialout sequence.

PROGRAMMING Express II

Express II's unique programming style allows you to access all programmable parameters
quickly and easily. The parameters are organized into 10 categories. From there, programming
is completely voice guided in a menu-style format. You simply enter the category number for the
parameters you want to program and enter values as prompted. All programming can be
TM
accomplished using the local keypad on the unit, or remotely using a Touch-Tone phone.
The Express II has a one-year limited warranty. Within the packaging will be a Warranty Regis-
tration card. Please take the time to fill this out and mail. The warranty is explained in the back
