Limitations of the Alarm System or Device

While your alarm system or device is reliable and sophisticated, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire, or other emergency. Any security product, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include:

• Individuals may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass

an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.

• Monitoring devices will not operate without power. Devices powered by AC will not work if their AC power

supply is off for any reason. If the system has battery back-up, batteries that are not maintained can fail to provide the necessary power for devices to function properly.

• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells, and horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are

located on the other side of closed or partly closed doors. If warning devices are on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms.

• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from the premises to a central monitoring station may be

out of service and are subject to compromise by sophisticated means of attack.

• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm

receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object if moved into the path.

• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended and is a monitored alarm system, the

authorities may not respond appropriately.

• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is

designed to last as long as 20 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.

• The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning properly is due to inadequate maintenance.

Your alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all detection devices are operating properly. Your control panel and keypads should be tested, as well.

Installing an alarm system may make you eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners, and renters should continue to insure their lives and property.

Using the appropriate accessory sensors (not supplied), the EA200 / EA400 monitors and provides alarms for the following environmental conditions:

 Temperature: from –50° C to 150° C (–58° F to 299° F)  Humidity: from 5% to 95% RH  Presence of water

The EA200 / EA400 is easily mounted directly to a 2-gang electrical enclosure, or to walls.

Figure 2 shows a simplified functional diagram of the EA200 interfaces and functions. The EA200 provides two Zones of monitoring as follows:

 Zone 1 – Zone 1 is permanently programmed as a temperature monitor using a

temperature sensor built-in to the EA200.

 Zone 2 – Zone 2 is equipped with a sensor input connector that can be connected to

any one of a variety of sensors. Using the appropriate sensor, Zone 2 can be used to monitor temperature, humidity, or presence of water at remote locations.

Each Zone has its own Form C relay output that activates when a monitored environmental condition exceeds the programmed range. An AUX (Auxiliary) Output relay is activated whenever any Zone is in alarm. It can be used to provide a single output to the alarm panel or to an optional audible alarm.

Figure 3 shows a simplified functional diagram of the EA400 interfaces and functions. The EA400 provides four Zones of monitoring as follows:

 Zones 1 through 4 – Each Zone is equipped with a sensor input connector that can

be connected to any one of a variety of sensors (the EA400 is not equipped with a built-in sensor). Using the appropriate external sensor, each Zone can be used to monitor temperature, humidity, or presence of water. Programming and usage of each Zone is fully independent of each other.

Limit display.

Shows the programmed HIGH limit and LOW limit points where measured con-

ditions exceeding limits will trigger an alarm for the related Zone.

• When programmed for temperature, the limit range allowed is between 299 degree units to –58 degree units.

• When programmed for humidity, the limit range allowed is between 100 RH% units to 0 RH% units.

Locked and Unlocked icons. Indicates EA200 / EA400 lock status. When EA200 / EA400 is in locked mode, programming cannot be changed; no

configuration modes are accessible.

Alarm icon. When flashing, indicates that a Zone is in an alarm state. When steadily illumi-

nated, indicates that an alarm condition exists, but the programmed time delay interval has not yet elapsed. When time delay period elapses, the icon will begin flashing.

Delay Time Entry Mode icon. During programming, indicates selection of delay time mode (up to 120 minutes

delay can be entered). When icon appears, a delay time (in minutes) can be entered. With a delay programmed for the Zone, conditions exceeding the programmed limits (such as during a defrost cycle) are ignored for the duration of the programmed delay.

This function is typically used to prevent false alarms for freezers and coolers that have defrost cycles or doors that are opened frequently.

Temperature Sensor Type display.

During temperature monitoring programming, sensor type (based on conditions expected for Zone) is entered.

• RED is selected when a “Red” (high-temperature range) sensor is to be used.

• BLUE is selected when a “Blue” (low-temperature range) sensor is to be used.

Note: See “Accessories” on page 44 for more information regarding sensor types and appropriate usage.

Offset Adjust icon. Indicates that OFFSET (± 9 units) has been selected (this is selected by press-

ing the OFFSET key). If desired, offset allows the temperature or humidity reading for the selected

Zone to be offset by a value that aligns the reading displayed on the EA200 / EA400 with that of existing equipment, thereby correlating the EA200 / EA400 reading with that of existing equipment.
