Model Number: THP401
PHONE-ALERT™ AUTOMATIC PHONE-OUT MONITORING SYSTEM
OWNER'S MANUAL
Product Description: This monitoring system is intended to monitor homes, cabins, vacant
properties and other premises for power outage, low temperature conditions and the presence of
water. The THP401 is designed to automatically call up to four telephone numbers when an alert
condition occurs, it will continue to place phone calls until someone answers and responds with a
code or until the alert condition no longer exists. Sensors for the power outage and low temperature
are housed inside the THP401, while the water sensor cable can connect to a jack on the side of the
device.
The THP401 will also accept any sensor that produces a switch closure that can be connected to the
Water Sensor jack. These include door and window open sensors and many other types of intrusion
sensors. Multiple sensors can be connected using a paralleling adaptor.
IMPORTANT: This monitoring system must be located where it has access to an active Touch
Tone™ telephone line and a 120-Volt electrical outlet. Read and thoroughly understand the
instructions and warranty prior to installation. It's necessary to test this system after installation to
confirm it is compatible with the telephone line and the telephone numbers that will be called. This
monitoring system is an outgoing telephone device only and will not respond to or interfere with
incoming telephone calls.

Press and hold this key 3 seconds to begin programming. The “Data Enter” key is used to select a particular programming menu or to save an entry. ...
  • Page 5 Press the Data Enter key to save the setting. This is a time delay for the Water Sensor jack on the THP401, where you either connect a water sensor or other security sensors. The delay is based on initially detecting an alert, and how long it takes after detection before the system begins to make outgoing calls to the programmed telephone numbers.
  • Page 6: Important Programming Notes

    MUST BE IN “HOME” MODE TO PROGRAM: If programming (holding the * star key) is attempted while the THP401 is in AWAY mode, a message will appear that says “Please Disarm”.
  • Page 7 To put the system in HOME mode: hold the # key for three seconds. You will be prompted to enter the Password. Enter your four digit password and press the Data Enter key. The THP401 will return to the main display and HOME is shown on the screen.
  • Page 8 Once an alert is disabled, before the THP401 will monitor and place phone calls for that alert, the system needs to be changed back into HOME mode and then again into AWAY mode. Someone must be at the THP401 to do this.
  • Page 9 Security sensors that produce a switch closure can also be connected to the “Water Sensor” jack on the THP401. Any sensor connected to this jack must have a “normally open” switch. The alert will be activated when the switch is closed.
