2.5 Starting the OMA-P1104
When the AC power transformer is first plugged into the
electrical outlet, the OMA-P1104 automatically starts in RUN
mode. The red LED light will begin to glow. The unit will
respond with,“Hello, this is Sensaphone® 1104.”
2.6 Run Mode and Standby Mode
Pressing the RUN/STANDBY key on the OMA-P1104 keypad
will alternately activate or deactivate the unit. If the unit is
activated and in RUN mode, the red LED (small red light on
the upper right of the unit's front panel) glows steadily. In
STANDBY mode, the red LED goes out, but will blink every
few seconds to indicate that power is still supplied to the unit.
In RUN mode, the OMA-P1104 is able to receive incoming
calls and to automatically dial out in the event of an alarm on
one of the monitored conditions. To enter STANDBY mode,
press RUN/STANDBY.
As soon as the OMA-P1104 enters STANDBY mode, it
responds with “Have a good day.” The red light immediately
goes out and then resumes with a blink every few seconds.
While in STANDBY mode, all functions are disabled, but
5
Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual
programmed memory is preserved. Upon exiting STANDBY
mode, any currently existing alert conditions will be an-
nounced.
NOTE
STANDBY mode is not equivalent to “power
off”—an electrical source, such as the 120 VAC,
or the battery backup, continues to provide full
power to the unit. If the unit is placed in
STANDBY mode, unplugged from the 120 VAC
outlet, and placed in storage, the batteries will
continue to power the OMA-P1104, discharging
until they fail. Consequently, batteries should
always be removed from the unit following
disconnection from any 120 VAC outlet, prior to
storage.
Press the RUN/STANDBY key again to return to RUN mode.
RUN
STANDBY
Figure 2-3. The RUN/STANDBY Key
2.7 Telephone Line
The OMA-P1104 will operate with all standard telephone
systems that accept pulse or tone dialing. The OMA-P1104
cannot be used on an extension line to dial its own telephone
number. Also, it may not be installed on a party line or pay
telephone line.
Certain private telephone systems and public switching
equipment may not accept the OMA-P1104 dialing or may
generate an unacceptable ring signal. In those cases, a dedi-
cated line may be required. Consult the supplier of your
telephone system if you encounter problems.
If you do not have a modular telephone extension at the
OMA-P1104’s location, you must contact your local telephone
company to have one installed (there is a charge for this
6
Chapter 2: Installation
service). If you have four-pin jacks, adapters are available to
convert them to the modular plugs. Contact your local
telephone company or electronics parts store.
CAUTION
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning
storm. Never install telephone jacks in wet
locations unless the jack is specifically designed
for wet locations. Never touch uninsulated
telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the network
interface. Use caution when installing or
modifying telephone lines.
To install the telephone line, plug the modular telephone jack
provided into any standard RJ11 phone outlet. Refer to
Figure 2-4.

This is provided so that a telephone or other answering device
may be used on the same line as the unit. It is not necessary to
hook up a telephone for the OMA-P1104 to operate.
2.8 The Microphone
The OMA-P1104 is provided with a built-in microphone which
is used to monitor high sound levels produced near the installa-
tion site. The sensitivity of the microphone is configurable and
will detect a continuous as well as a beeping alarm.
Other programming options that apply to the microphone
include setting the length of time before a high sound causes an
7
Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual
alarm.
If this sound level exists for 8 consecutive seconds (default) or
for the programmed length of time, the OMA-P1104 will dial
out with an alarm message.
NOTE
The proximity of the audible alarm to the
microphone is extremely important.
Normally, the OMA-P1104 and the audible
alarm must be in the same room. The maximum
distance can vary considerably depending on the
alarm, the acoustics, and the size of the room.
During an alarm dial-out, the microphone allows four-second
intervals to listen-in to sounds at the OMA-P1104’s location.
When calling for a Status Report, the microphone permits
listening to on-site sounds for a programmed time interval.
2.9 Alert Inputs
The OMA-P1104 can monitor up to 4 inputs (represented by
the numbered terminal screws shown in Figure 2-5, below).

Figure 2-5. Alert Inputs
Inputs are configured as either dry contact or temperature.
An input configured as dry contact can be used with any
normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) device.
8
Chapter 2: Installation
“Open” refers to an opened circuit path; if conditions cause the
circuit to close, an alert condition occurs. “Closed” refers to a
continuous circuit path; if a closed circuit is opened, an alert
condition occurs. The OMA-P1104 determines the way inputs
are configured by the type of sensor connected to each alert
input (refer to Chapter 5, Section 5.1).
An input configured as “temperature” is designed to evaluate a
range of settings. The OMA-P1104 will read the temperature at
the sensor’s location and compare that value to programmed
high and low temperature limits. Temperature inputs must be
used with Phonetics Remote Temperature Sensor.
NOTE
Before wiring, it is advisable to disable the
inputs to prevent accidentally tripping an alarm.
See Chapter 5, Section 5.2.
2.10 Installing the Sensor
After you have selected the sensor, loosen the screw of the alert
input and its corresponding ground. Two wire leads are used to
connect any monitoring sensor. Fasten one lead to the num-
bered screw and the other lead to GND. Tighten both screws. If
the input was not disabled, the OMA-P1104 may recite its
“Alert Condition Exists” message as you connect the sensor. If
it does, just press any key to stop it. Re-enable the input after
wiring. Refer to Figures 2-6 and 2-7 for connecting a sensor to
an alert input.

Chapter 2: Installation
Figure 2-7.Two Sensors Wired to Adjacent Inputs
NOTE
Do not use sensors, switches, or relays that
supply any voltage or current to the OMA-
P1104. Be aware of proximity to other electrical
wires or components when placing wires that
lead from the sensors to the unit. Avoid running
the wires near electrical devices that use high
voltage or current, such as motors, heavy
machinery, etc. This voltage may be inductively
coupled into the sensor wiring and could result in
damage to the the OMA-P1104’s circuitry. Try to
place wires at least 6 inches from other electrical
wiring or devices.
2.11 Multiple Sensors
The OMA-P1104 may have more than one sensor connected to
the same alert input, as long as the normal condition for each
sensor on the same alert input is identical (either all N.O. or all
N.C.). However, only one remote temperature sensor can be
used on each input.
When wiring several normally closed sensors on one input,
they must be connected in series. Connect one lead from the
first sensor to the numbered screw of the alert input. Next, take
the other lead from the first sensor and connect it to one lead
from the next sensor. Continue connecting sensors end-to-end
until you have connected all of your sensors. Take the second
lead from the last sensor and connect it to the ground screw on
the OMA-P1104. See Figure 2-8. Multiple N.C. sensors are
typically magnetic reed switches to monitor the security of
windows and doors.

2.12 Outdoor Wiring
When wiring sensors outdoors, DO NOT allow exposed wires
12
Chapter 2: Installation
to run freely in open air; under such conditions, the OMA-
P1104 is susceptible to serious damage during a lightning
storm. Depending upon the distance outdoor wiring must
travel, consideration should be given to use of shielded wire
inside a metal conduit. Both shield and conduit should be
connected to earth ground. This prevents stray voltage from
entering the unit.

below, Figure 3-1). Notice that a single key has several func-
tions assigned to it; programming results are determined by
the order in which keys are pressed.
Individual keystrokes are illustrated to show programming
steps in the correct order. If you make a mistake by entering the
wrong key, do not press another key until you hear the message,
“Error 1.” Then, start over with the first key in the
programming sequence.

3.2 Preparation for Programming
Read complete instructions in Chapter 2: Installation, and make
sure to follow these steps first:
1. Plug the AC adaptor into the 120 VAC outlet.
2. Install the batteries.
3. Connect the OMA-P1104 to a telephone line.
When these steps are completed, the OMA-P1104 is fully
operational and able to monitor temperature, high sound,
AC power failure and battery backup condition; it can also be
called on the telephone for a Status Report or used for listening
to on-site sounds from any remote location. Now, the unit is
ready for programming.
3.3 Quick-Start Programming Steps
Step 1: Set Configuration of Inputs
The OMA-P1104 will scan the 4 external inputs and determine
if they are N.O. (normally open), N.C. (normally closed), or
Temperature. If external sensors are added, make sure they are
in their normal positions before proceeding—refer to
Chapter 5, Section 5.1.
1. Press STANDBY to place the OMA-P1104 in Standby
mode.
RUN
STANDBY
2. If you have external sensors available, wire the sensors to
the inputs on the back of the OMA-P1104 (see Chapter 2,
Section 2.10). Otherwise, skip this step and move to
step 3.
3. Press RUN. The red light glows when the OMA-P1104
returns to Run mode.

tion for each of the four inputs, responding with “OK,” if
it detects N.O. (normally open), “beep-OK,” if it detects
N.C (normally closed) or “Temperature,” if it detects
temperature (regardless of whether all the inputs have
attached sensors or not). If an input is unused, it is treated
as normally open.
Step 2: Set the ID Number
It is recommended that you set the ID number to reflect the
telephone number on which the OMA-P1104 is installed.

Programmable Feature
• Recognition Time
1. THE OMA-P1104 DETECTS
AN ALERT CONDITION
This is the programmed
waiting period to determine if
an alert condition has persisted
long enough to be considered a
valid alarm. If the sensor
returns to normal within
recognition time, then no
alarm will occur.
An alert condition is not the same as a
valid alarm—the condition must
continue for the programmed time
period, or Recognition Time, before it is
recognized as a valid alarm.
2. A VALID ALARM IS CONFIRMED
• Call Delay
An audible, on-site alarm message
begins and continues until the alarm is
acknowledged. (If the Mute feature is
turned on, there is no on-site message.)
Call Delay is activated.
This is the programmed
waiting period, before the first
telephone number is called, to
report an alarm.

waiting period, in between
sequential dialing of telephone
numbers, to report an alarm.
If there is no acknowledgment, the
OMA-P1104 waits the programmed
Intercall Time before dialing subsequent
telephone numbers. Dial-out continues
in this manner, cycling through the
remaining telephone numbers, for the
programmed Max Calls.
• Max Calls
This is the total number of
telephone calls that will be
dialed in response to any valid
alarm. Telephone numbers are
dialed sequentially, and
continue to cycle until the
maximum number of calls is
reached. If no acknowledg-
ment occurs, then at the
completion of Max Calls, all
alarms are automatically
acknowledged.
4. THE ALARM IS
ACKNOWLEDGED
When the alarm is acknowledged, the
dial-out process is cancelled and the
audible, on-site alarm message stops.

4.1 The Unit ID Number
The Unit ID Number is the identification number of the
OMA-P1104. This number may be the same as the telephone
number where the unit is installed, or it may be designated
using any number that best suits your application.
The purpose of the Unit ID Number is to immediately provide
the source of any alarm, especially when using multiple
OMA-P1104 units in a complex monitoring system. When
the OMA-P1104 is called from a remote location, it always
begins its message with the identification number:
“Hello, this is telephone number (Unit ID Number).”

4.6 TAD (Telephone Answering Device)
The TAD feature is especially useful because it integrates the
operation of the OMA-P1104 with your telephone answering
device in a way that retains the full flexibility of each system.
This allows you to have on-demand telephone access to the
OMA-P1104, for obtaining a Status Report, or for issuing call-
in commands, while your telephone answering device is set to

Chapter 4: Communications Programming
receive outside calls. Programming for use with a telephone
answering device (TAD) is always used in conjunction with
Rings Until Answer, detailed in section 4.5.
NOTE
The TAD feature only applies to answering
devices connected to the same telephone line as
the OMA-P1104.

The OMA-P1104 will respond: “On.” (If the OMA-P1104
says “Off,” repeat steps 1 and 2 to reactivate TAD.)
4.6.2 Using the TAD Feature
1. Make sure the TAD feature is enabled on the OMA-
P1104. (The default setting is disabled, so you must
enable it first.)
2. Determine the number of rings your telephone answering
device uses to answer the telephone. (Most answering
devices require 4 rings; others are selectable.)
3. On the OMA-P1104, program Rings Until Answer to a
greater number than the number of rings set on your
answering machine.
Example:
Telephone answering device, rings = 4
OMA-P1104, Rings Until Answer = 6
Using the procedure just outlined, all incoming calls will be
answered by the telephone answering device, allowing it to
35
Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual
operate normally. With the programming just accomplished, the
OMA-P1104 can be accessed remotely, by telephone, to obtain
the Status Report.
1. Dial the telephone number of the OMA-P1104.
2. Let the telephone ring once and then hang up.
3. Wait approximately ten seconds
4. Call the OMA-P1104 back.
It will answer the telephone on the first ring.
Explanation: The pattern of one ring, followed by a second call
(within 30 seconds), signals the OMA-P1104 to answer your
incoming call, excluding the telephone answering device.
NOTE
Special Case: If the OMA-P1104 shares the same
line with a telephone answering device, and
during certain time periods, frequent, incoming
calls are expected on that line, then you may
want to temporarily disable the TAD feature. If
you leave the TAD enabled, it will not adversely
affect normal operation, but if two outside
telephone calls are received within the same
30-second time window, the OMA-P1104 will
interpret this pattern as a signal to answer the
telephone. If this occurs, press any key on the
OMA-P1104 to hang up.
4.6.3 No TAD In Use
If a telephone answering device is not used on the same
telephone line as the OMA-P1104, make sure that the
TAD feature is disabled, or turned off. Only Rings Until
Answer programming will determine how incoming calls
are answered. For example, if you program Rings Until
Answer to 3, incoming calls will be answered in 3 rings.
4.7 Listen-in Time
The Listen-in Time is the amount of time you can listen to
sounds from the OMA-P1104’s built-in microphone at its
installation site. When you call in for a Status Report, the
36
Chapter 4: Communications Programming
OMA-P1104 announces Listen-in Time at the end of its first
round of status readings, saying, “Listen to the sound level for
(programmed time entered).” The programmable range is from
0 to 255 seconds (or up to 4.17 minutes). The default value is
15 seconds.
NOTE
The microphone is also used to monitor high
sound level. See Chapter 5, Section 5.10 through
Section 5.11.1.

Call Delay is the programmed length of time the OMA-P1104
waits, following detection of an alarm, before it begins the dial-
out sequence. This applies only to the first call. (Delay time
between calls is also programmable: refer to Intercall Time,
Section 4-11.)
The purpose for Call Delay is to allow time for personnel at the
OMA-P1104’s installation site to respond to and cancel an
alarm before dial-out begins. During this time, the OMA-P1104
will audibly repeat its “alert condition” message (unless the
Local Voice Mute feature has been activated—refer to Section
4.9). The default for Call Delay is 30 seconds. Call Delay can
be programmed from 0 seconds to 60 minutes (1 hour).

4.9 Local Voice Mute
When the OMA-P1104 dials out to report an alarm, it also
audibly recites the alarm message at its installation site. The
Local Voice Mute command allows you to turn off the voice at
the OMA-P1104’s site during alarm dialouts and status call-ins.
This feature is used to prevent intruders or unauthorized
persons from hearing the alarm dial-out message or from
hearing the Status Report during an off-site call.

4.11 Intercall Time
The Intercall Time is the programmable period of time the
OMA-P1104 waits in calling subsequent telephone numbers.
Intercall Time is activated only after alarm dial-out to the first
telephone number fails to be acknowledged. This period can
be programmed from 10 seconds to 60 minutes. The default
intercall time is 1 minute.
If an incoming telephone call is made to the OMA-P1104
during Intercall Time (in between its dialing of subsequent
telephone numbers to report an alarm), it will answer the
incoming call and immediately report any existing alarms. The
manner in which the incoming call is answered depends upon
whether or not TAD is enabled or disabled:
• If TAD (Telephone Answering Device) is enabled,
Rings Until Answer will be 1.
• If TAD is disabled, Rings Until Answer will be 10.
Refer to Section 4.5, Rings Until Answer, and Section 4.6,

4.12 Maximum Number of Calls (Max Calls)
The Max Calls feature controls the total number of repeated
calling attempts by the OMA-P1104 in the event of an alarm.
When an alarm occurs, the dial-out process begins, and
continues to cycle through your programmed telephone
43
Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual
numbers until a maximum number of calls is reached. The Max
Calls setting regulates the number of calls that will be made as
a result of any alarms; if more than one alarm is detected at
once, or if a second alarm occurs during dial-out on the first
alarm, the Max Calls setting will start the calling process from
zero, until the programmed number of calling attempts are
completed.
The default setting for Max Calls is 16, but it may be
programmed from 0 to 255 calls. Max Calls is cancelled when
an alarm is acknowledged. If the maximum number of calls is
completed and no alarm acknowledgement has occurred, the
OMA-P1104 will automatically acknowledge any alarm and
stop the dial-out.
NOTE
If only one telephone number is programmed, the
OMA-P1104 will dial out a maximum of 15
times to report an alarm.

program the current time. It will then keep time from your
programmed time. If the AC power fails, the clock will con-
tinue to keep time until the battery back-up fails. It will then
reset to 12 AM when power is restored. An incorrect time is a
good indication that the power has failed and the batteries
have been expended.

Chapter 5: Alarm Programming
This chapter explains the alarm programming and monitoring
capabilities of the OMA-P1104, with specific instructions for
the following features:
• Configure inputs as dry contact or temperature
• Enable/disable inputs
• Program alarm Recognition Time for each input
• Program high and low temperature limits
• Disable alarm response to high or low temperature
• Program temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius scale
• Calibrate temperature
• Obtain current temperature
• Program AC power-failure Recognition Time
• Enable/disable AC power monitoring
• Program sound level sensitivity
• Program high sound Recognition Time
• Disable alarm response to high sound
• Use Exit Delay via Status Report
5.1 Input Configuration
In preparing the OMA-P1104 to sense an alert condition, the
inputs must be configured as dry contact (either open or
closed) or as temperature inputs. The default setting for input 1
is temperature; for inputs 2-4, the default is dry contact and
open. To configure input normality, sensors are first wired to
the terminal strip at the back of the unit. (Refer to Chapter 2,
Section 2.9–2.12, for an explanation on wiring inputs.)
The configuration process directs the OMA-P1104 to initialize
the 4 inputs and establish normal settings. Any change in the
status of an input (for example, from a normally open contact
to a suddenly closed contact) is recognized as an alert condi-
tion. In the case of a temperature input, an alert condition is
recognized when established temperature limits are exceeded.
NOTE
Before starting keyboard commands to configure input
normality on the OMA-P1104, it is very important to
check that the sensors you have wired to the unit are set
in their normal, non-alarm positions.
49
Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual
For example, if a magnetic reed switch (a normally-closed
sensor used to detect unauthorized entry) has been wired
to the OMA-P1104, make sure that the door or window to
be monitored is shut before configuring the input. If a
motion-detector is wired to the unit, it is advisable to
block all sources of motion from the sensor before and
during configuration.

the number of the input and says“OK.”
• If the input is normally closed, the OMA-P1104 recites
the number of the input, followed by a “beep”
and“OK.”
50
Chapter 5: Alarm Programming
• If the input is configured as temperature, the
OMA-P1104 recites the number of the input, followed
by “Temperature.”
5.1.2 Verifying Input Configuration
Input configuration can be verified when interrogating the
OMA-P1104 for a complete Status Report. Refer to Chapter 6
for a more detailed description of the Status Report.
5.2 Enable/Disable Inputs
This function allows you to enable or disable an input’s
response to an alert condition. An enabled input will respond to
an alert condition and allow dial-out. A disabled input will
cause dial-out to be suppressed, but any existing alert condi-
tions will be revealed during the Status Report. Enable/disable
programming is useful during wiring of inputs (see Chapter 2)
or when a condition needs to be monitored, but is not critical
enough to be programmed for dial-out reporting. It is important
to verify input status after performing any task that requires
disabling. The default setting for all inputs is enabled (ON).
If an alert condition exists when inputs are re-enabled,
Recognition Time will restart—refer to Section 5.3.

The OMA-P1104 audibly recites the current status of every
input. In a Status Report, each input is first identified by its
input number, followed by a report that specifies parameters
currently affecting that input. If an input is disabled, the word
“Off” immediately follows the number recited for that input.
For example, input 3 is configured as a normally open, dry
contact input. During the Status Report:
• If disabled, the OMA-P1104 recites:
“Number 3—Off—OK,” for input 3.
• If enabled, the OMA-P1104 recites:
“Number 3—OK,” for input 3.
In another example, input 2 is configured as a temperature
input. The current temperature is 76 degrees. During a Status
Report:
• If disabled, the OMA-P1104 recites “Number 2—Off—
76 degrees—OK”.
• If enabled, the OMA-P1104 recites “Number 2—
76 degrees—OK”.
5.3 Input Recognition Time
The Input Recognition Time is the length of time an alert
condition must be present before a valid alarm exists and dial-
out is activated. This time period is programmable, from 0
minutes, 0 seconds (for immediate response) up to a period of
272 minutes, 0 seconds. If an alert condition begins and then
clears within the established Recognition Time, no dial-out will
occur. When an alert condition continues beyond the
52

5.6 Temperature Calibration
To compensate for minor variances in sensor accuracy, an offset
may be programmed for each temperature input. The amount of
offset is measured in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius.
Adjustments are possible within a range from -10 degrees to
+10 degrees. For example, if input 3 is sensing temperature and
is reading 1 degree too high, then the calibration for input 3 is
set at -1 to obtain an accurate reading.

5.9 AC Power Failure Recognition Time
The AC Power Failure Recognition Time is the length of time
that AC electric power is off before a valid alarm is recognized
and dial-out begins. The default setting is 5 minutes, 0 seconds,
but is programmable from 0 seconds to a maximum of
272 minutes.
When AC power failure occurs, and throughout the pro-
grammed Recognition Time, the OMA-P1104 steadily repeats
the message, “the electricity is off,” at the unit’s installation site.
There is no Call Delay programming available for AC power
failure. Immediately following Recognition Time, the OMA-
P1104 begins the dial-out process to report power failure.
To cancel the power-failure message locally at the keypad
(during or after Recognition Time) press any key on the
OMA-P1104 keypad. This action also cancels the dial-out
process. The AC power failure alarm may also be cancelled
remotely, by telephone acknowledgment (see Chapter 6,

5.10 Sound Alarm Monitoring
This feature allows you to program the level and duration of
sound that will cause the OMA-P1104 to respond to an alarm
and dial-out. It may be useful to desensitize the OMA-P1104 to
sound if it is installed in an area with a relatively high noise
level, or where a loud noise occurs frequently but is not
associated with an alarm. In some applications, it may be
desirable to increase sound sensitivity to low sound levels.
5.10.1 Programming Sound Alarm Sensitivity
The sensitivity setting for sound alarm monitoring ranges from
1 to 255. A value of 1 makes the microphone the MOST
sensitive to changes in sound. The value 255 makes the
microphone the LEAST sensitive to sound. The default value
is 32.

5.12 Exit Delay
When tripping an alarm is unavoidable, yet a true alert
condition has not actually occurred, the alarm response,
including dial-out, can be temporarily suppressed.
The OMA-P1104 is able to suppress and then reset its dial-out
function automatically through use of the Status Report. This is
especially convenient when an alert condition is created upon
exiting a monitored door, and there is no way to cancel from
the local keypad.
Example: You are planning to exit through a monitored door.
Prior to exiting, you initiate a Status Report recitation at the
OMA-P1104 keypad by pressing WHAT IS, followed by
STATUS, (key sequence shown below). This allows you
approximately 30 seconds to exit without activating the
OMA-P1104’s programmed response to an alarm. At the
conclusion of the status report, normal alarm response is
reactivated.

Chapter 6: Acknowledgment,
Status Report, and
Remote Access
In addition to communication and alarm monitoring
capabilities, the OMA-P1104 will also respond to your
instructions and provide you with access to information on
monitored conditions at all times.
By issuing commands to the unit, either at the installation site
or over standard telephone lines, the following features may be
activated:
• Acknowledgment of existing alarms
• The Status Report on all monitored conditions.
6.1 Alarm Acknowledgment
When the OMA-P1104 dials out with an alarm message, it will
request acknowledgment before hanging up. Acknowledgment
indicates to the unit that the alarm message has been received.
Upon acknowledgment, the OMA-P1104 will cancel the dial-
out sequence.
There are three ways* that an alarm is acknowledged directly:
• Local Acknowledgment
• Touch-ToneTM Acknowledgment
• Callback Acknowledgment
* A fourth method of alarm acknowledgment is indirect. Refer
to Max Calls, Chapter 4, Section 4.12 for an example of
automatic alarm acknowledgment.
6.1.1 Local Acknowledgment
To acknowledge an alarm locally (directly at the installation
site of the OMA-P1104), press any key.
6.1.2 Touch-ToneTM Acknowledgment
This method of remote alarm acknowledgment works with a
Touch-ToneTM telephone.
69
Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual
Example: You receive a call from the OMA-P1104, reporting
that an alarm exists. The message concludes: “Indicate you
have received warning message.” Now, or at any time during
this call, you may acknowledge the alarm with the code “555”
if you are using a Touch-ToneTM telephone.
• To enter “555,” press the number (5) key on the Touch-
ToneTM phone keypad three times. The OMA-P1104 will
respond: * “Warning message received by telephone
number (last number dialed).” The OMA-P1104 will
hang up and the dial-out sequence, including any further
response to the alarm, will be cancelled.
• If you enter the wrong code or do not enter it within
10 seconds following the conclusion of the message, the
OMA-P1104 will respond: “Dial telephone number
(the programmed unit phone number) within (Intercall
Time).” Then, the OMA-P1104 will hang up. The alarm
is still not acknowledged until you call back. You have a
period equal to the programmed Intercall Time to call
the unit back2( 9dntero(y ackno138.4(wledge the alar)-19.5. Refther)]T

Chapter 6:Acknowledgment, Status Report, and Remote Access
NOTE
If you have the TAD feature ( telephone
answering device) enabled, the OMA-P1104 will
answer the telephone on the first ring. If it is
disabled, the telephone must be allowed to ring
10 times. This serves as a precaution against a
random alarm acknowledgment. Refer to
Chapter 4, Section 4.6, for complete information
on using the TAD feature.
6.2 Status Report
The Status Report allows access to complete information on all
monitored conditions either locally, from the keypad, or by
telephone, from any location. The OMA-P1104 will answer an
incoming telephone call following the programmed Rings Until
Answer (refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.5). Included with the
Status Report are messages related to alarm conditions,
AC power, battery backup and sound level. It also provides an
opportunity for listening to on-site sounds (refer to Listen-in
Time, Chapter 4, Section 4.7).
To initiate the Status Report:
1. Press WHAT IS.

Sections 6.2.1, 6.2.2, and 6.2.3 demonstrate two different Status
Report recitations. The Status Report starts with:
“Hello. This is telephone number 555-1234 (or the
programmed ID).”
“The time is 12:15 PM (or the current time).”
The OMA-P1104 proceeds with a separate report for each
input. Each input identifies itself by reciting the input number.
71
Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual
6.2.1 Example: Status Report, No Alarms
Inputs 2, 3, and 4 are configured as dry contact and input 1 is
configured as temperature. No alarms exist. The Status Report
begins by saying, “Hello, this is telephone number 555-1234;
the time is 12:15 PM.” Following this introduction, the report
continues:
“Number 1, 74 degrees, OK.”
“Number 2, OK.”
“Number 3, OK.”
“Number 4, OK.”
“The electricity is ON.” This refers to AC power.
“Battery condition, OK.” Other responses: “Battery condition
low” or “Replace batteries.” (Refer to Section 6.2.4 for
additional information regarding battery condition.)
“Sound level, OK.”
“Listen to the sound level for 10 seconds.” In this case, the
programmed Listen-in Time is set at 10 seconds. (This feature
is not available when obtaining the Status Report on-site,
directly at the keypad.)
The Status Report repeats once more and the OMA-P1104
concludes the call, saying: “Have a good day.” (The Status
Report will not repeat if obtained at the keypad; “Have a good
day,” is also not recited.)
The phrase “no number” at the end of a Status Report
indicates that no dial-out phone numbers have been
programmed.
72
Chapter 6:Acknowledgment, Status Report, and Remote Access
6.2.2 Example: Status Report, Existing Alarms
Inputs 2, 3,and 4 are configured as dry contact and input 1 is
configured as temperature. An emergency situation is at hand:
a fire in a greenhouse has tripped a smoke alarm and electrical
power has been disrupted. In addition to high sound and AC
power alarms, separate alarms exist on inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4. You
happen to call in for the Status Report, which begins with,
“Hello, this is telephone number 555-1234; the time is
12:15 PM.” Following this introduction, the report continues:
“Number 1, 110 degrees, HIGH.”
“Number 2, EXISTS.”
“Number 3, EXISTS.”
“Number 4, EXISTS.”
“The electricity is OFF.”
“Battery condition, OK.”
“Sound level, HIGH.”
“Warning message received by ...(last telephone number
dialed*).”
“Listen to the sound level for 10 seconds.”
The Status Report repeats once more and the OMA-P1104
concludes the call, saying: “Have a good day.”
* The “last telephone number dialed” refers to any one of the
programmed, dial-out telephone numbers through which the
OMA-P1104 was able to receive alarm acknowledgment, prior
to your call for a Status Report; this could also refer to the
OMA-P1104’s I.D. Number (identification number), if the
alarms are acknowledged at the keypad by someone present at
the site.
73
Omegaphone® OMA-P1104 User’s Manual
6.2.3 Example: Status Report, Disabled Inputs
If an input is disabled, the dial-out feature for that input is
deactivated, but all other programmed parameters remain in
effect. In the example below, all 4 inputs are disabled, although
inputs 1 and 3 are detecting alarms. AC power and Sound Level
is also disabled for dial-out. (Note that to indicate disabled
status, only AC power will return two audible “beeps,” rather
than the word “OFF.”) When you call the OMA-P1104 for a
Status Report, you hear the following:
“Hello, this is telephone number 555-1234.
“The time is 12:15 PM.”
“Number 1, OFF, 96 degrees, HIGH.”
“Number 2, OFF, 74 degrees, OK.”
“Number 3, OFF, EXISTS.”
“Number 4, OFF, OK.”
“The electricity is (beep, beep), ON.” If the electricity is off,
or the AC adaptor is disconnected, you will hear:
“The electricity is (beep, beep), OFF.”
“Battery condition, OK.”
“Sound level, OFF, OK.” If the sound level is high you will
hear: “Sound level, OFF, HIGH.”
“Listen to the sound level for 10 seconds.”
The Status Report repeats once more and the OMA-P1104
concludes the call, saying: “Have a good day.”
74
Chapter 6:Acknowledgment, Status Report, and Remote Access
6.2.4 Battery Condition
During a Status Report, you may hear one of three possible
messages regarding battery power. The OMA-P1104
determines the appropriate message by measuring battery
voltage. Depending upon the remaining voltage, it may
respond:
• “Battery Condition , OK,” if over 8.2 Volts.
• “Battery Condition , low,” if between 7.2 and 8.2 Volts.
• “Replace batteries,” if below 7.2 Volts.
6.2.5 Remote Access by Touch-Tone™ Telephone
Calling the OMA-P1104 for a Status Report provides the
opportunity to access other functions, using Touch Tone™ push-
button commands. Remote telephone commands include:
• Disabling/enabling any input.
• Disabling/enabling High Sound Alarm monitoring.
• Disabling/enabling AC Power monitoring.
• Activation of Listen-In Time.
• Activation of the Status Report.
To issue commands by telephone, first dial the number of the
OMA-P1104 to access the Status Report. The Status Report
will be followed by the programmed Listen-In Time. If you
remain on the telephone, the Status Report will be repeated,
followed by a 10 second waiting period and hang-up. During
this
10 second waiting period, or at any time during the call, other
commands may by accessed by pressing any push button on
the telephone.
If a Security Code is in effect, the OMA-P1104 will prompt
you with: “Enter Security Code.” If no Security Code is set,
then it will say “O.K.”
• Enter your Security Code (4 digits) with the telephone
push buttons. If the code you enter is correct, the
OMA-P1104 will respond: “OK.”
• If you enter the wrong Security Code, the OMA-P1104
says,“Error. Have a good day,” and hangs up.

Disabling/enabling inputs – If an input is set to detect an alert
condition, it can be disabled to prevent the OMA-P1104 from
dialing out, or re-enabled at any time.
This feature allows the convenience of disabling an input, even
if you are away from the site of the OMA-P1104. One such
application may involve an input programmed to detect
unauthorized entry. You are in another locale, but must allow
someone else temporary access to the area monitored by the
OMA-P1104. Using a Touch ToneTM telephone, you can disable
the appropriate input (thereby disabling any alarm dial-out
response). The input remains disabled until you issue the same
command, which effectively returns it to its former, enabled
state.
Press the following push-buttons on the Touch ToneTM tele-
phone to execute the desired command:
* (asterisk), 1
...equal to Sensor On/Off, for input 1. To re-enable the
input, repeat the same Touch-ToneTM button sequence
used for disabling.
* (asterisk), 2
...equal to Sensor On/Off for input 2, and so on, for
inputs up to 4. To re-enable the input, repeat the same
Touch-ToneTM button sequence used for disabling.
Disabling/enabling High Sound Monitoring –
