Station Sitter Manual

Chapter 9: Operation

CALL-IN STATUS

You can also call into the STATIONSitter using a Touch-

Tone telephone to obtain a status report. After answering, the

STATIONSitter will recite a status report. Immediately following the status report, STATIONSitter allows you to use Touch-Tone commands to enable/disable zones, change limits, control the output, etc. See Remote Commands via Touch-Tone Phone.

Below is an example of a voice status report:

“Hello, this is 555-2278, ‘Facility monitoring system at the Oak

Ridge Pump Station’

“Zone one, ‘Temperature in building one,’ 80 degrees F, OK

“Zone two, ‘Temperature in building five,’ 82 degrees F, OK

“Zone three, ‘Water pressure in psi,’ 45, OK

“Zone four, ‘Well level one in feet,’ 2, too low, acknowledged

“Zone five, ‘Well level two in feet,’ 10, OK

“Zone six, ‘High water alarm,’ OK

“Zone seven, ‘Low water alarm 2,’ acknowledged alarm exists

“Zone eight, ‘Security alarm,’ OK

“Sound is OK”

“Power is ON”

“Battery is OK”

“Good-Bye”

Note: If a zone has exceeded its limits or if a NO/

NC sensor is in an alarm state but has not yet met its recognition time, the STATIONSitter will beep before reciting the alarm status of that zone. For example, suppose a temperature sensor has a low limit of 55 degrees and a recognition time of 5 minutes. If the current temperature has gone below the limit for 3 minutes and you call in for a status report, the STATIONSitter will say “Zone 1, ‘temperature in the poultry house,’ 52 degrees, beep, too low.”
