<br>
You are correct in that the Omni will not report a code to the central <br>
station for AC power failure, although it does detect it. This is no doubt <br>
for good reason, because if it were automatic or easy, central stations <br>
would be flooded with these signals.<br>
<br>
Here is how I do it:<br>
<br>
1. Set up a voice <st1:PersonName w:st="on">me</st1:PersonName>ssage with the
installation na<st1:PersonName w:st="on">me</st1:PersonName> and address
followed <br>
by AC POWER - IS - OFF (na<st1:PersonName w:st="on">me</st1:PersonName> the <st1:PersonName
w:st="on">me</st1:PersonName>ssage "electricity off" or similar)<br>
2. Na<st1:PersonName w:st="on">me</st1:PersonName> a flag "poweroffti<st1:PersonName
w:st="on">me</st1:PersonName>"<br>
3. Code in PC Access<br>
WHEN AC POWER OFF: poweroffti<st1:PersonName w:st="on">me</st1:PersonName> ON
FOR xx MINUTES<br>
WHEN poweroffti<st1:PersonName w:st="on">me</st1:PersonName> OFF &IF AC
POWER OFF: PHONE nnn-nnnn AND SAY <br>
electricity off<br>
<br>
This will have the Omni dial out with voice <st1:PersonName w:st="on">me</st1:PersonName>ssage
if the power goes off <br>
and stays off for xx minutes, so you avoid unnecessary notifications for <br>
minor outages and switching glitches.<br>
You of course can repeat the second line to dial out to up to the eight <br>
available numbers.<br>
<br>
Now, if you want or need central station moitoring, modify the second code <br>
line to be<br>
WHEN poweroffti<st1:PersonName w:st="on">me</st1:PersonName> OFF &IF AC
POWER OFF: UNIT x ON FOR xx SECONDS<br>
where the unit is one of your hardwire outputs. Use this output to <br>
drive a small 12VDC relay which closes contacts on an input zone.<br>
You would then define the zone appropriately and map it to your central <br>
station as an "equip<st1:PersonName w:st="on">me</st1:PersonName>nt
failure" or similar.<br>
