1.1.6. General Safety and Electro-
static Discharge Prevention
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equip-
ment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage oc-
curs when electrostatic components are incorrectly
handled, and can result in complete or intermittent
failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures
when you remove and replace components. Wear
an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it
makes good skin contact.
Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface
of a metal chassis frame to safely ground unwanted
ESD voltages.
To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist
strap and cord must operate correctly. If no wrist
strap is available, ground yourself by touching the
metal part that is grounded. For safety, periodically
check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It
must be between 1 and 10 Mega ohms (Mohm).
1.2. Installation Procedure
To avoid electrical shocks and equipment dam-
age, unplug the unit before making connections.
1. Determine where you want to install the sys-
tem. You need an unswitched AC power outlet and
a telephone plug nearby to operate the system.
2. Make a list of all the sensor inputs you will be
using with the Agri-Alert system.
3. Mount the Agri-Alert system on the wall (see
section 1.3).
4. Connect a ground wire to the ground terminal
of the system (see section 1.4.9).
5. Install and connect all zone sensors and the
siren. If the alarm system uses the phone, connect
the phone line to the Phone Plug-in Card and then
insert the card in the PHONE CARD port of the Agri-
Alert. If the system uses an outside temperature
sensor, connect the sensor to the Outdoor Plug-in
Card and then insert the card in the OUTDOOR port
of the Agri-Alert. These 2 plug-in cards are optional
(see section 1.4).
6. Install the battery and then power up the Agri-
Alert with the 16VAC wall transformer (note that the
system will not boot when connecting the battery).
1.3. Mounting the Equipment
The Agri-Alert system should be mounted on a wall.
Use 3/16” diameter screws to mount the enclosure
on the wall. Fasten the black caps onto the mount-
ing holes once the screws are tightened. Make
sure the cover can be opened easily (to open the
enclosure, pull the latch and lift the cover).
If outdoor connections are used, mount the
enclosure as close as possible to the entry point
of the outdoor wiring.
1.4. Connecting the Equip-
ment
Electrical knockouts are located on the bottom
of the enclosure for running the cables. Use a
screwdriver and a hammer to punch out the holes.
Additional holes made in the enclosure will void
the warranty.
Strip the wires as little as possible (about 1/4”) to
avoid electrical shorts. Once they are connected,
run them through watertight nylon cable glands
at the bottom of the enclosure.
All wiring must be done by an authorized elec-
trician and must comply with applicable codes,
laws and regulations. Be sure power is off before
doing any wiring to avoid electrical shocks and
equipment damage.
Do not install rigid conduit into electrical knock-
outs. Only nylon cable glands are permitted for
cable or wire fastening.
Before making the connections, pass the wires
through an hermetic cable holders at the bottom
of the enclosure.
1.4.1. Sensors
The terminals used for sensor inputs are numbered
Z1, Z2, Z3, etc. on the removable card. Connect
each sensor to a Z terminal and to the ground
terminal (COM). Note that each “COM” terminal is
used by two zones; for example, Z1 and Z2 share
the same “COM” terminal. Make sure each sensor
is connected to the proper “COM” terminal. False
alarms can result if the ground wires are not prop-
erly connected.

1.4.2. AC Power Connection
The terminals marked 16VAC on the main board
are used for connecting the transformer. The trans-
former provided with the system is a 16.5VAC/40VA
transformer. It must be plugged into a 120VAC 60Hz
outlet. Make sure the power source is unswitched
(i.e. there is no switch on the power outlet).
1.4.3. Backup Battery Connection
The Agri-Alert system uses a rechargeable 8.4V bat-
tery Ni-MH 2300mAh (part number 112-00007). No
other type of battery can be used. Plug the battery
pack’s male connector to the female socket located
on the main board inside the enclosure. See Ap-
pendix B for normal battery life spans.

1.4.4. Siren Output
Connect the siren to the SIREN terminals on the
removable circuit card. The voltage supplied is
12VDC with a maximum current of 1A. Note that
the battery must be hooked up if a siren is used.
Make sure the positive wire is connected to the
positive terminal of the siren. The siren circuit is
monitored by the Agri-Alert system for defects
and wire troubles. This may not work properly if the
impedance of the siren is too high. If this is the case,
you can add a 1.5KOhm resistor (1/2W) to the siren
circuit as close to the siren as possible.
If no siren is used, connect a 1.5KOhm 1/2W resistor
between the positive and negative terminals of the
siren or disable the siren monitoring function as
explained in section 3.5.
1.4.5. 12VDC Output
The terminals marked 12VDC pro-
vide 12VDC with a maximum cur-
rent of 500mA. This output can be
used to power other accessories
such as temperature controllers
or the Agri-Alert wireless module
(WM-3000). In case of power fail-
ure, the battery back-up provides
12VDC to this line.

1.4.9. Connecting the Earth
Ground
The earth ground terminal of the Agri-Alert must be
connected to the earth ground as follows.
Use a rod at least 5/8 inches (16 millimeters) india-
meter at least 10 feet (3 meter) long. The rod must
have a clean metal surface free of paint, enamel or
other nonconducting substances. Drive the rod
at least 10feet (3 meters) into the ground. If the
bedrock is more than 47inches (1.2meters) deep,
drive the rod into the ground to bedrock level and
bury any remainder horizontally at least 2 feet
(600millimeters) below ground level. If the bedrock
is less than 47inches (1.2meters) deep, bury the rod
horizontally at least 2 feet (600millimeters) below
ground level (ref. Article 10-702, 3d of the Canadian
Electricity Code C22.10-99).
The rod must be connected to the wire described
above. It is recommended to let the rod going out of
the ground to connect it. The wire length must not
exceed 50feet (15 meters).
IMPORTANT: The earth ground terminal must
be connected to a proper ground to protect the
electronic components from damage due to
lightning surges and electrostatic discharges.
Do not use the electrical ground for this purpose
If outdoor connections are used, mount the
enclosure as close as possible to the entry point
of the outdoor wiring

edged. If the alarm is not acknowledged at the end
of the dialout sequence, the Agri-Alert automati-
cally acknowledges it and stops the siren.
2.5. Telephone Interface
The Agri-Alert system sends alarm reports over
the phone. You can also call the system to get
some status reports. When calling the Agri-Alert,
make sure the “Phone Call-in” parameters are set
properly (see section 4.7).
2.5.1. Alarm Report Call
When an alarm occurs, the Agri-Alert system tries to
reach you by phone and dials all numbers of the di-
alout sequence (see chapter4). It puts an end to the
dialout sequence when the alarm is acknowledged.
The following section outlines the dialog session
when a number is reached. Note that a touch-tone
phone is required to respond to the system prompts
and that the system automatically hangs up when
the session is over.
2.5.2. Status Report over the
Phone
You can dial into the Agri-Alert system and obtain
status reports over the phone. A touch-tone phone
is needed to respond to the system prompts.
The following section outlines the dialogue session
when the Agri-Alert system answers the call. The
system automatically hangs up when the status
report is nished.
2.5.3. Acknowledge upon call-
back
If the parameter “Ack. on callback?” is set to “Yes”
(see section 4.7), you can acknowledge an alarm /
test call without using the touch-tones. The follow-
ing sequence should be respected:
1. The Agri-Alert calls you to report an alarm /
test call.
2. Listen to the complete message and wait until
the Agri-Alert hangs up.
3. Call the Agri-Alert back within 30 seconds from
hanging up.
• As soon as the Agri-Alert answers, the alarm/
test call will automatically be acknowledged.
• You can then hang up or wait on the line to
listen to a complete status report.
