Thank you for purchasing our Deluxe FreezeAlarm, model FA-D2. If you have any
questions or concerns about this product, feel free to contact us. Our phone number,
web sites and email addresses are listed on page two.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES:
The Deluxe FreezeAlarm is a remote monitoring device that can automatically call up
to three phone numbers when the temperature inside any space gets out of range, if
the power fails or if the back-up battery requires replacing. The FreezeAlarm uses a
series of menu options that are accessible by pressing the buttons on your Touch-
Tone phone. All menu prompts and alarm messages are in English. In addition to
calling you if an emergency condition exists at your monitored location, the Deluxe
FreezeAlarm also offers the following features:
• "Quick Status Check" allows you to remotely check the current temperature,
power status and battery status from any phone in the world – all within a 15
second phone call.
• Remotely turn up the heat in your vacation home or cabin by switching between
a thermostat set at a lower temperature to one set at a higher temperature. This
feature does require some integration with your existing heating system.
• Monitor for the presence of water leaks and floods by adding our WaterAlarm
(WA-20) water sensors. They provide additional peace of mind from leaking
pipes and fixtures, burst washing machine hoses, leaking water heaters or
overflowing sumps. The WaterAlarm triggers the Deluxe FreezeAlarm to call
your three programmed numbers and warn you of a water emergency.
• Home Security can be added through the addition of our MiniAlarm Motion
Sensor (MA-S01). An audible alarm will warn intruders to stay away and trigger
the Deluxe FreezeAlarm to call and warn you of an intrusion at your property.
• A normally open or closed auxiliary alarm contact allows you to monitor for any
type of alarm sensor that can either close or open a dry contact.
• Any or all of the three numbers can be to a numeric pager.
APPLICATIONS:
• Second home owners or "Snowbirds" who need to monitor two different homes.
• Cabin and Vacation Property Owners can monitor their home and pre-heat it by
phone.
• Monitor a refrigerator or freezer from getting too warm since the Deluxe model
has both a high and low temperature alarm setpoint.
• Computer Rooms can be monitored if air conditioning fails
• Elderly residents or pets can be rescued from homes that get too hot.
• Monitor greenhouses, health care drugs, vaccines and supplies.
• Monitor equipment, boilers and any machinery that has the ability to close an
alarm contact.
