[Hai-users] Easy Question

[Roger Sampson]

Doug,

I do not have the absolute answer to your question, however I can speculate
that an AC power outage may not dial out.  At least here in the Dallas area,
most outages are short in duration, seconds and minutes as opposed to hours.
Could be a burden to a central station.  I do not know what the typical
subscriber distribution is for central stations, but I can imagine their
call volumes, if there is a wide spread outage.  Of course rural outages are
a different issue, and seems like there should be an option to report or
not.

Hopefully an easy question and its been a little quiet anyway,

 

I usually wire up a zone on the OmniPro II for AC power by sensor relays for
power from a generator or the AC from the street.  And thus, the Omni will
report open or close from that zone to the central station.   But in one
installation, I just left the AC Power Sensor within the Omni to detect an
AC Power Failure (no generator), thinking that it would report (call out)
upon an AC Power Failure.  But no call to the central station upon loss of
AC.  Is this a setting somewhere for calls upon AC Power Failure that I am
missing?  I can't get the Omni to report an AC Power Failure in this
installation.

 

Thanks!
