Plug the device into a 110V A/C outlet to power your unit on. Once the status light
turns solid green, press and hold the “Push to Test/Hold to Congure” buon for 3
seconds. Unit will chirp twice and status light will blink red & green. This will get the
unit ready to receive text messages from your cell phone. In the next step, you will
congure the unit by sending it text message commands.

BPower Device On
Caller ID and Conguraon Mode
If no phone numbers are configured in the unit, it will accept commands from any
phone number. Once a phone number is configured in the unit, only commands
from phone numbers configured in the unit will be processed.
The unit can be placed in Config Mode by pressing and holding the Mute button
until the status light (top light) changes to red/green blinking. This allows the device
to accept commands from any phone.

Using your mobile phone, create and send a text message to your device. Xis either
1,2, or 3for which phone number slot you would like to fill.
If you want text messages sent to addional phones, repeat this process. Your device
can hold up to three phone numbers.

Seng Up Your Temperature Alarm
If the temperature falls below the low threshold a “low temp condition” message
is sent. If the temperature rises above the high threshold a “high temp conditon”
message is sent. When the temperature returns to the range between the low and
high thresholds, a “normal temp condition” is sent. The temperature sensor has an
accuracy of +/- 5 °F.
There are two (2) degrees of hysteresis required to return to normal. Example: if the
low threshold is 30°F, the temperature must go up to 32°F before it is considered to
have returned to normal.

Customizing Inputs
Input Names
By default inputs are labeled generically in notification messages from the device. i.e.
input #1, input #2, etc. You have the ability to give the input a more descriptive name,
i.e. sewage sensor.
Input Alert Delay
Your device allows adjustment of the time delay on input alarm triggers and on
power outage detection. It will wait the specified amount of time (in seconds) before
sounding the alarm and sending out text message alerts. The power outage detection
is a silent alert, meaning only text messages are sent when an outage is detected after
the specified time delay, there is no sounder.
Contact Closure Type
Your device allows the adjustment of contact closure types, either Normally Open or
Normally Closed. The device defaults to Normally Open for all 4 inputs. All inputs are
dry contact, meaning they require non-powered sensors and can detect only an open
or a closed contact.
To allow for maximum flexibility in your particular application, we give you the ability
to customize every part of the input alert. We briefly discuss below and go into
greater detail on how to complete the setup in the following steps.
Basic Setup is Now Complete!
If you received your test notification, then basic setup of your unit is complete. On
the following pages, we have included setup instructions for the more advanced
features your unit has to offer. These include customizing individual inputs, power
outage delays and silencing your device.
