OMA-C SERIES from $1300
Automatic Dialing Remote Monitoring System

 

The OMA Series Monitor is an automatic dialing remote monitoring system that keeps you in direct touch with your distant facility. The OMA Series continuously monitors the inputs connected to the system and if an alarm condition occurs, it dials up to eight field programmable phone numbers and identifies the specific problem in plain English. When you want to receive a complete status report, you may dial it from any telephone allowing direct touch with a remote or unattended facility. Easy to program, the voice synthesizer asks for input. All you do is enter up to 8 dial out phone numbers. All other operating parameters (alarm criteria, alarm and normal messages, alarm trip delay, etc.) are preprogrammed, but may be altered from their default values to meet your needs. The following parameters may be programmed over a wide range on the keyboard: alarm trip delay, time between alarm calls, alarm rest time, telephone answer response time, alarm criteria (alarm on open contacts, alarm on closed contacts or no alarm) run time meters on/off, tone/pulse dialing, number of message repeats. Nonvolatile memory keeps your programming intact and a rechargeable gel cell battery keeps the system operating in the event of a power failure. The OMA Series is easy to hook up-it operates on a standard telephone line, and will work with any telephone system and most paging systems.

Communication with called parties is via a highly intelligible voice synthesizer, station identification plus alarm and normal messages from each channel are programmable from the approximately 200 word vocabulary. In addition, a built-in microphone permits a caller to listen to local sounds and to have a two-way conversation with personnel at the dealer site. Models are available to monitor from 4 to 32 dry contacts plus a 120 Vac power source, and all models are provided with remote programming to allow the operator to call the unit and program a wide variety of functions of the system.
