Checking your Sensaphone for Proper Operation

sure it is functioning properly. This will ensure that when a
problem arises the Sensaphone will be ready to alert the
appropriate personnel.
There are several tests that can be performed:

APPENDIX A
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
batteries are OK.
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.
Test the batteries 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.
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.
