Product Overview
- Analog or Digital Inputs
- GUARD-IT monitors
four input channels.
Each channel can be
configured for an
analog or digital
signal input. The
system utilizes
the public
telephone network
as a basic medium
for transmission of alarm
messages and status calls. It
is field-programmable by the user
at the system’s control panel via a
standard touch-tone phone handset.
- Automatic Alarm Reporting
- Upon detection of an alarm condition,
GUARD-IT automatically calls a list
of up to eight preprogrammed phone
numbers over the standard dial-up
telephone network, calling until it
gets an acknowledgement. When
a connection is made, the system
reports the station identity and the
specific alarm condition in the form of
a digitally prerecorded voice message.
In addition to standard phones in
office, plant or home, the alarm calling
sequence can also include calls to
pagers, cellular phones and voice mail.
- Alarm Acknowledgement
- An alarm is acknowledged simply by
pressing a button on the called phone.
When acknowledging an alarm, a built-in
microphone permits the caller to listen
for background sounds at the site.
The user can also call the
system from any remote
phone for a status
report of all points
being monitored.
- Voice Messaging
- The voice
transmission
consists of a station
identification, together
with an alarm message,
giving details on the fault.
The station identification and alarm
messages are digitally recorded
by the user. RACO pioneered the
concept of using digitally recorded
and synthesized voice messages in
autodialers. By using electronic voice
reporting technology, GUARD-IT
eliminates the need for often unreliable
audio tape autodialers.
