Automatic Phone-Out Home Monitoring Systems
Power Outage and Freeze Alarm Model Number: THP202
Power Outage, Freeze and Flood Alarm Model Number: THP201
Product Description
These monitoring systems are intended to monitor homes, cabins, and other premises for power outage, low temperature
conditions and the presence of water. They are designed to automatically call up to three telephone numbers—such as
your cell phone, your cabin phone, your primary residence phone, or a neighbor’s phone-- when an alarm condition occurs.
Sensors for power outage and temperature, featured in Model Number THP202, are housed in the main control panel. An
additional water sensor is housed in a separate plug-in accessory, which is included with Model Number THP201. The
water sensor can be placed up to 100 feet from the control panel using additional telephone line.
For each of the following three potentially damaging situations, this monitoring system will automatically dial up to three
user-programmed telephone numbers and advise the person answering that one or more of these conditions have been
detected:
•
A power failure in the branch circuit that the control panel is plugged into
•
A temperature drop to below 45
o
F +/-3
o
F (7
o
C +/- 2
o
C) at the control panel
• The presence of water at the location of the optional water sensor probe (when plugged into the control
panel)
The person answering the call from the alarms can choose to either:
•
Do nothing and allow the monitoring system to call every 15 minutes while alarm condition exists.
• “Acknowledge” the call and allow the monitoring system to continue to inform them of the alarm condition at
one hour intervals beginning with the first telephone call and continuing until the alarm condition no longer
exists, or
•
“Disable” the monitoring system and halt all monitoring and calling features of this monitoring system. WHEN
THE MONITORING SYSTEM HAS BEEN DISABLED, IT MUST BE RESET AT THE CONTROL PANEL
BEFORE THE MONITORING AND CALLING FUNTIONS WILL RESUME.
The monitoring system control panel must be located where is has access to an active Touch Tone™ or rotary/pulse
telephone line and a 120-Volt electrical outlet.

IMPORTANT -
Read and thoroughly understand the instructions and warranty prior to
installation. The installation of these alarms requires that the monitoring system be
tested after installation to insure that the monitoring system is compatible with both the
outgoing telephone line and the telephone(s) that will be called. This monitoring system
is an outgoing telephone device only and will not respond to any incoming telephone
calls.

- How the monitoring system works when it detects an alarm condition
- What to do when the monitoring system calls someone at a programmed telephone number
- A voice message will advise the type of alarm condition and instruct the person answering to enter a response code by pressing and holding the “#” key to “Acknowledge” the alarm, or pressing the “*” key followed by the “0” key to “Disable” the monitoring system. The sequence of the message is as follows:
- What happens when the call is “Acknowledged” by pressing and holding the “#” key?
- The monitoring system will sound a 3-second continuous tone at which time the "#" key can be released. The monitoring system will then disconnect and return to a monitoring mode. It will wait one hour and, if the alarm condition is still present, will repeat the outgoing call sequence. This routine of calling at 1-hour intervals will continue until the alarm condition no longer exists OR the monitoring system is “Disabled” by pressing the “*” key followed by the “0” key in sequence to turn the monitoring system off (see following paragraph). Once the alarm condition no longer exists, the monitoring system will return to the monitoring mode and will make no further calls until a new alarm condition occurs.
- If a different alarm condition is detected during any of the one hour increments that the monitoring system is waiting to make the next call, the monitoring system will then wait only 5 minutes before beginning a new outgoing call sequence to indicate that there are multiple alarm conditions.
- What happens when the monitoring system is “Disabled” by pressing the “*” key followed by the “0” key in response to a call?
- The monitoring system will sound a 3-second continuous tone at the called phone and then disconnect and “Disable” itself. NO FURTHER MONITORING OF ALARM CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR, AND NO FURTHER OUTGOING CALLS WILL BE MADE TO INDICATE AN ALARM CONDITION UNTIL THE MONITORING SYSTEM IS RESET AT THE CONTROL PANEL.
- IMPORTANT – In order to have the monitoring system return to normal so that it can monitor alarm conditions and make outgoing calls, someone will have to manually turn the ON / OFF switch on the monitoring system control panel first to OFF and then back to ON. This should be done at the same time you, or someone you notify, visits the premises to correct the problem.
- What to do if you are at the monitored premises?
- The monitoring system will also alert you to an alarm condition when the premises are occupied but when you might not otherwise be aware, such as during the night. Upon detecting a single or multiple alarm condition, the control panel will emit a 5-second continuous tone. This will be followed by a 5-second tone at 5-minute intervals thereafter.
