CHECKING YOUR 4100 FOR PROPER OPERATION
We recommend that you test your Sensaphone weekly to be sure it is functioning properly.
This will ensure that when a problem arises the Sensaphone will be ready to alert the
appropriate personnel. Phonetics, Inc. provides a blank test log for your use at the end of
this manual.
There are several tests that can be performed:
1) Call the unit and listen to the Status Report. This will test the unit's ability to answer
the phone and speak a message. It will also verify that all of the inputs are reading
properly, the alarm conditions are OK, the electricity is on, the microphone is
functioning, and the battery is OK.
2) Create an alarm on each input and allow the unit to contact all programmed telephone
numbers. This will make sure that the Sensaphone is programmed properly. It will
also prepare personnel to respond appropriately when they receive a call from the
Sensaphone.
3) Test the battery by unplugging the AC adapter and making sure that the Sensaphone
continues to function. Press WHAT IS, then STATUS on the keypad, and listen to the
status report. Make sure the report states that "the electricity is off " and "battery
condition OK." Keep the AC adapter unplugged so that a Power Failure alarm occurs.
Allow the unit to dial all programmed telephone numbers while running on battery
backup. Plug in the AC adapter after the unit has finished dialing all of the telephone
numbers.
4) If you are using your Sensaphone to listen for a smoke alarm, then be sure to test the
smoke alarm to make sure that the Sensaphone picks up the audible signal and
triggers a high-sound-level alarm. Allow the unit to dial all programmed telephone
numbers.
5) Keep a log of your tests, noting the date and whether the 1104 passed in each category
tested. An example of such a log is shown below. (See "Test Log" at the end of this
manual.)
