TURNING THE MODEL 4100 ON

The ON and OFF keys on the Model 4100 keypad are used to activate and deactivate the

unit. To turn the unit ON, press the ON key. The system ON light will begin to glow. The

unit will say "Hello," or beep if it is already on.

When the unit is ON, it is able to receive incoming calls and automatically dial out in the

event of an alarm on one of the monitored conditions. The red light will glow as long as the

unit is on.

When you press OFF, the 4100 will say "Have a good day," and the system ON light will

stop glowing. All functions are disabled except the battery backup. The batteries will still

discharge if the AC transformer is unplugged from the 110 VAC outlet.

It is not recommended that the unit be turned OFF unless absolutely necessary. (See

"Disconnecting the Model 4100" later in this chapter.) Full power is still consumed by the

unit even though it cannot be programmed or interrogated. Also, the unit cannot dial out

with an alarm.

A strain relief clamp is provided in the Model 4100 enclosure to prevent wiring from being

pulled from the circuit board or damaged when passing through the enclosure. To use the

strain relief, thread wires through the clamp and clear rubber bushing. Position the bushing

in the clamp and tighten the screws on either side so that the wiring does not move.

The Sensaphone Model 4100 will operate with all standard analog telephone systems that

accept pulse or tone dialing. The Sensaphone Model 4100 cannot be used on an extension

line to dial its own telephone number. Also, it may not be installed on a party line or pay

telephone line.

Certain private telephone systems and public switching equipment may not accept

Sensaphone dialing or may generate an unacceptable ring signal. In those cases, a dedicated

line may be required for the 4100. Consult the supplier of your telephone system if you

encounter problems.
