Guard-It
Brand: RACO Manufacturing and Engineering Co.GUARD-IT monitors four input channels. Each channel can be configured for an analog or digital signal input. The system utilizes the public telephone network as a basic medium for transmission of alarm messages and status calls.
It is field-programmable by the user at the system’s control panel via a standard touch-tone phone handset.
Upon detection of an alarm condition, GUARD-IT automatically calls a list of up to eight preprogrammed phone numbers over the standard dial-up telephone network, calling until it gets an acknowledgement.
When a connection is made, the system reports the station identity and the specific alarm condition in the form of a digitally prerecorded voice message.
In addition to standard phones in office, plant or home, the alarm calling sequence can also include calls to pagers, cellular phones and voice mail.
An alarm is acknowledged simply by pressing a button on the called phone. When acknowledging an alarm, a built-in microphone permits the caller to listen for background sounds at the site.
The user can also call the system from any remote phone for a status report of all points being monitored.
