airflow to the Casey computer.

information it receives with the
standards set for your home.

system thousands of time during
the year to determine if
deteriorating operation is:

Casey Heating & Cooling System Monitor - Customer Information
How the Casey Helps Maintain Your
Home
▪ Each month a report is sent to your
service company to verify that your
system and Casey are working
correctly.
▪ When Casey calculates that your
system is running at less than peak
efficiency, its built-in modem
quickly transmits a diagnostic alert
report to your heating & cooling
company's service manager for
review.
▪ If the alert report indicates it's
necessary, a service call can be
scheduled before a problem
becomes an emergency. Service
calls can be avoided when the
problem reported is minor, such as
a dirty air filter that you can easily
clean or replace yourself.
How Casey Works with your
Telephone
▪ Casey can detect when your phone
line is in use. When it needs to
send an alert report and your
phone line is in use, it waits until
the line is clear before transmitting.
▪ To transmit an alert report, the
Casey uses your telephone line for
less than one minute while
transmitting data to the central
monitoring station.
▪ Casey calls a toll free 800 number
to connect to the central monitoring
station.
▪ Your service company receives an
alert report within four minutes of
the Casey detecting a problem (if
your phone line is not busy).
▪ If you pick up the phone while the
Casey's sending a report, you may
briefly hear a clicking noise as the
modem is dialing out or a modem
"screech" sound while transmitting
data to the central monitoring
station.

Why You Need the Casey
▪ Like a warning light in your car,
early problem reporting by the
Casey prevents equipment
damage, wasteful energy usage
and unexpected loss of comfort.
▪ Casey helps protect your home
from damage due to extreme
temperature from system outage.
▪ Casey provides emergency
notification of malfunctioning
heating & cooling equipment, even
when you're away from home.
Casey and routine system servicing
▪ Also like your car, your heating and
cooling systems needs routine
maintenance. Your service
company's regular system
servicing works with the Casey to
keep you comfortable and save
you money.
▪ For additional answers about
maintaining your system with
Casey, please contact your heating
and cooling service company.
Why didn't Casey report a problem?
▪ The most likely reason is that your
phone was in use when Casey
tried to send an alert report.
Instead of interrupting your call,
Casey waits until the line is no
longer busy before transmitting.
▪ Your thermostat could be
malfunctioning. Casey must have
information from your thermostat to
determine if your system is
operating incorrectly. However,
even if your thermostat's not
working, Casey always sends an
alert report if your home's air
exceeds the minimum & maximum
temperature settings.
