hereafter as Local Phone) and program the numbers you want it to

| If you are installing FarmAlarms in more than one
barn, you must install a SLAVE unit in houses 2 through 10. These units look identical to the MASTER unit and
are installed the same way. The MASTER UNIT communicates with each SLAVE UNIT several times a second, gets the barn status and compares temperature with the with the high and low temperature limits programmed. The factory settings are high temperature 90 degrees, low temperature 48 degrees. You can change these setting from any touch-tone phone as conditions require. Everything is supplied except the phone wire connecting House # 2 to House # 1- House # 3 to House # 2, etc.. Modular phone jacks come with each SLAVE unit to make this connection. (The phone line connecting SLAVES to MASTER UNIT is actually used as a data transmission line.) A "House Number" button is a round switch on the bottom each SLAVE indicating house numbers 0-9. Use a small screw driver and turn it to indicate the proper house number... 0 is House # 10. The backup 9v battery furnished with each unit supplies power in event of electric power outage and should last for a year or more. In any event, the FarmAlarm tells you the battery condition each time you call your barn. The following topics are described fully in the Manual Other features of the FarmAlarmThe "Local Phone" is a phone that is connected directly to the FarmAlarm and where you will do most of the programming. With the Local Phone connected, she will say "FarmAlarm" when you pick up the receiver. Most of the commands you program begin with the pound key (#) and end by pressing the asterisk key (*) on the phone. (If you want to call another number, press 9 to get a dial tone). If you have more than one farm, you can program the FarmAlarm to display a Farm ID code on your pager... and record your farm name with your own voice message. When an alarm call is answered the FarmAlarm acknowledges the call and it will not call that number again unless it detects another alarm... but you can program it to require a touch-tone response when you answer the call. You can assign a security ID code so that you are the only person who can change programming settings. You can also program delay time for each sensor.
