<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm a bit of a rookie (and certainly a non-professional
w/r/t these systems)....just a user. I have the system's AC Power Out
feature call my mobile phone to warn me. If I recall correctly, it has
done so twice in the past 6 years since installation. It seems to do that
only if the power is out for a certain amount of time. I'm not sure what
that certain amount of time is, but it's not short durations. HAI should
know, or it should be easy to test..., program AC Power out to call a specific
phone #, unplug the power xfmr and rely on battery power...it will call
you.</FONT></DIV>

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. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">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.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
