GuardDog Website Setup

GuardDog is used to view device status, see current alarms,

congure devices, and setup notications. GuardDog must be congured to send notications and alarms regarding your

OmniSite devices.

There are two main steps required to congure GuardDog:

(1) Create Callout List

(2) Congure Alarms

Create Callout List

The rst step is to create a callout list. Callout lists dene who will be notied, in what order, and how. Please follow

these steps:

Navigate to https://guarddog.omnisite.com and enter your username and password to log in. If you are a new customer, your username and password will be provided when activation of your device is complete.

phone (317) 885-6330 x3 online www.OmniSite.com

(2) Using the navigation buttons at the top of the screen, click

“Setup” and then click “Callout List.”

(3) Detailed instructions on how to create a recipient library

and callout list can be found within GuardDog’s help pages. Near the top right side of the screen, you’ll see a “Help” icon. Hover over this icon and select “How to use this Page.” Please read and follow the instructions.

Congure Alarms

Once a callout list has been created, you can congure your

device to use that callout list when an alarm condition occurs. Please follow these steps:

(1) If not already logged in, navigate to

https://guarddog.omnisite.com and enter your username

and password to log in.

(2) Using the navigation buttons at the top of the screen, click

“Setup” and then click “Device Setup.”

(3) Detailed instructions on how to congure your device can be

found within GuardDog’s help pages. Near the top right side of the screen, you’ll see a “Help” icon. Hover over this icon and select “How to use this Page.” Please read and follow the instructions.

Advanced SMS Features

The OmniBeacon™ features advanced SMS messaging capabilities that allows users to interact with the device from any cellular phone with SMS messages, also known as text messages. The OmniBeacon™ has a unique phone number, just like cellular phones have. Users can send SMS commands directly to the device’s phone number from their cell phone.

The OmniBeacon™ supports “SMS fallback” when the primary method of alarm delivery via GuardDog fails. If the device loses contact with OmniSite’s GuardDog server for over 30 minutes, it enters “SMS fallback” mode. In this mode, the unit will

send SMS notications of any alarm conditions (input alarms, power loss, low battery, etc.) to all phone numbers congured

in the device. Upon entering this mode, all phone numbers programmed in the unit will receive a message indicating data communications was lost, along with a status message which includes information such as input alarm status. When the OmniBeacon™ re-establishes contact with the OmniSite servers, it sends a messaging indicating that it restored data communications.

When the device rst starts up, it enters “conguration mode”,

which allows it to process SMS commands from any phone number. It will stay in “conguration mode” for 15 minutes and then it enters “normal mode”. In “normal mode”, the device will only respond to commands that it receives from

phone numbers that have been congured in the device. If there are no phone number congured in the unit, or if

the phone number that you are sending commands from is

not congured in the device, the device will not process the

commands. This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized access to the device via SMS messages.

SMS Conguration

Please follow the steps below to enable the OmniBeacon’s™ SMS features:

(1) Navigate to https://guarddog.omnisite.com and enter your

username and password to log in.

(2) Using the navigation buttons at the top of the screen, click

“Setup” and then click “Device Setup.”

System Power

This device utilizes a 6V sealed lead acid battery to keep the system powered during primary power loss. The default alarm delay for power loss is 60 seconds. When primary power is lost for 60 seconds, the device will transmit an alarm condition. Once primary power has been restored for 60 seconds, the device will transmit a return to normal condition.

The battery will supply power for at least 12 hours with a full charge. The system takes about 24 hours to recharge a fully discharged battery. The battery is considered charged when the voltage is 6V or

higher; low at 5.75V and critically low at 5.55V and lower. The system

automatically shuts down when running from the battery if the voltage drops to 5.25V.

The power loss alarm delay time can be recongured by sending the “PwrDelay” SMS command to the device. For example, to congure a

30 second power loss delay time, send the command “PwrDelay 30”. See section “Advanced SMS Features” for information on how to use SMS features.

Alarm Input Time Delays

The OmniBeacon different operation.

Input #1 | Powered input and can accept 12V to 120V AC

or DC. Input #1 is also connected to the primary annunciator

(LED bulb) and will trigger the ashing light and sounder.

Input #2 | Non-powered, dry-contact input – do not apply

voltage to this input or it will be damaged. This input is designed to read a contact closure only. Input #2 is NOT connected to the primary annunciator – it will NOT

trigger the ashing light and sounder.

phone (317) 885-6330 x3 online www.OmniSite.com

™ has two alarm inputs, each with

The default alarm delay for both inputs is 5 seconds. If an input is in alarm for 5 seconds, the device will transmit an alarm condition. When the input returns to normal for 5 seconds, the device will transmit a return to normal condition.

The input delay times can be recongured by sending the “DelayX” SMS command to the device. For example, to congure a 15 second delay time for input 2, send the command “Delay2 15”. See section “Advanced SMS Features” for information on how to use SMS features.

shock, injury or death, always disconnect all sources of electrical power before

servicing or cleaning; do not touch the electrical terminals or controls with wet hands; and do not tilt, jolt or tip Products while powered-on.

Never disassemble Products. Never allow children to use Products.

CAUTION: Products are cellular devices and must be activated before use.

Please visit Omnisite.com/activate to activate your Products. You must have a cellular device in which to communicate with Products. OmniSite utilizes automatic bill pay as a convenience to its customers and to ensure continuity of cellular service. OmniSite will notify you before cellular service is to be renewed and before the credit card you provided during activation is charged. If OmniSite is not able to successfully bill for the cellular service, OmniSite has the right to immediately disconnect cellular service to your Products and your

Products will no longer send text notications.

NOTE: Upon delivery inspect contents immediately and le claim with delivery

carrier for any damage. OmniSite recommends saving the original box and packing material. You are responsible for damage to Products if returned to OmniSite improperly packed.

NOTE: OmniSite’s primary method for contacting you is via email. Please add

us as a contact to ensure delivery of these emails. Please promptly update your email address with us if it changes.

LIMITED WARRANTY: OmniSite (“OmniSite”) warrants to You that Products

will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for two (2) years from the purchase date. A claim under this Limited Warranty must be presented during the Limited Warranty period and within thirty (30) days after any covered condition has occurred. A claim under this

Limited Warranty shall be satised by either, in OmniSite’s sole discretion,

repairing or replacing the Products and/or part. Replacement Products may be new or reconditioned.

To make a claim under this Limited Warranty, OmniSite must rst issue You a

Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number. This number can be obtained by contacting OmniSite and a copy will be provided by email. A copy of the RMA must be included with any materials shipped to OmniSite.

The entirety of Products must be sent back to OmniSite (unless specically

listed otherwise on the RMA form) and properly packaged to ensure against damage during shipping. If OmniSite determines that the claim is covered by this Limited Warranty, OmniSite will either, in its sole discretion, repair or replace the Products and/or part. Any damages not covered under this Limited Warranty will not be repaired until a written purchase order is received.

The Limited Warranty period shall not be extended by the replacement or repair of Products or parts under this Limited Warranty but the remaining Limited Warranty period shall continue in effect and be applicable to the replaced or repaired Products or parts under conditions of the Limited Warranty. Payment for cellular service covers only cellular transmission fees and in no way extends any portion of this Limited Warranty. This fee does not include out-of-warranty service or repair.

The cellular service provided in conjunction with the purchase and use of Products and Services is not guaranteed, and OmniSite cannot and does not guarantee or represent that cellular service will be available in Your area nor that cellular service will be continuous and uninterrupted in Your area. It is Your responsibility to determine if cellular coverage is available in your area and to monitor the warning light on Products and Services to determine the cellular signal strength to Products and Services.

You should contact OmniSite for assistance if needed. If cellular service is not available in your area, then your sole remedy is to return Products and Services as provided for in OmniSite’s Return Policy as found at www.omnisite.com. As such, OmniSite is not liable for any causes of action, losses or damages of any kind whatsoever arising out of mistakes, omissions, interruptions, errors, or defects in the provision of cellular service and failures or defects in the cellular network.

Upon expiration of the Limited Warranty period, all liability of OmniSite shall be terminated. This Limited Warranty does not apply in the following cases: failure to follow installation and operating instructions, misuse, alteration, abuse, accident or tampering, and repair by anyone other than OmniSite.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE. IN NO CASE SHALL OMNISITE BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER.

This Limited Warranty gives specic legal rights. You may have other rights,

which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so that the above limitation of exclusion may not apply to you. You, the individual user, should take care to determine prior to use whether Products and Services are suitable, adequate or safe for the use intended. Since individual applications are subject to great variation, OmniSite makes no representation or warranty as to suitability or

tness of Products and Services for any specic application.

OmniSite makes no representation that Products and Services will reduce any risk of property loss or personal injury or prolong the life of any equipment or

other property; or that Products and Services will in all cases provide adequate

warning and protection. You understand that Products and Services if properly installed and maintained may only reduce the risk of property loss or other loss but Products and Services are not an insurance or a guarantee that there will be no property loss or other loss as a result.

CONSEQUENTLY, OMNISITE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FAILED TO GIVE WARNING.

However, if OmniSite is held liable, whether directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage arising under this Limited warranty or otherwise, OmniSite’s liability shall be limited to the purchase price of Products and Services purchased and paid for by You, which shall be the complete and exclusive remedy against OmniSite.
