    Section 5.1). An input configured as “temperature” is designed to evaluate a range of settings. The Model 1104 will read the temperature at the sensor’s location and compare that value to programmed high and low temperature limits. Temperature inputs must be used with Phonetics Remote Temperature Sensor.

  • Page 21: Multiple Sensors

    Continue connecting sensors end-to-end until you have connected all of your sensors. Take the second lead from the last sensor and connect it to the ground screw on the Model 1104. See Figure 2-8. Multiple N.C. sensors are typically magnetic reed switches to monitor the security of windows and doors.

  • Page 95: Appendix A: Troubleshooting

    Most problems with the Model 1104 are easy to identify and quickly corrected, and are found under the following general headings: •...
  • Page 96 Communications / Dial-out: Problem 1. The Model 1104 fails to dial out. Cause The telephone number may be incorrectly programmed. Tone or pulse (the current dialing method) is not compatible with the telephone line on which the Model 1104 is installed.
  • Page 97 The Model 1104 is connected to an incompatible telephone line. The Model 1104 must be connected to a standard (2-wire analog) telephone line, not a digital extension to a phone system. If the unit will not dial out and the factors previously listed have been ruled out, try connecting the unit to a standard residential telephone line.
  • Page 98 Answer is set to equal the number of rings set for the telephone answering device. Solution When calling the Model 1104, and the TAD is disabled, allow the telephone to ring 10 times. Refer to Chapter 6, Section 6.1.3, and Chapter 4, Section 4.6.3.

  • Page 99: Temperature Monitoring

    Temperature Monitoring: Problem Can’t program temperature limits; or the unit won’t read the temperature sensor. The temperature reading is -20° F or -30° C. Temperature reads 150° F or 65° C. Temperature reading is inaccurate. Cause The input isn’t configured to read a tempera- ture sensor.

  • Page 100: Sound Level Monitoring
