Sensaphone 400
Fully-programmable, environmental monitoring system
that offers extensive on-site and remote monitoring capability
Calls up to 4 phone numbers to notify of abnormal conditions
24 hour battery backup in event of power
failure with notification
Simple to install, program and operate;
no changes to standard electrical or
telephone service is required
Built in microphone for live onsite listen-in monitoring
Protect and monitor your vacation home, cabin or cottage —
even when you can't be there! Doing so is now easy and
convenient with the new and improved Sensaphone 400,
a remote residence monitoring system that can help you
detect problems before they turn into disasters.
Like the classic Sensaphone, the Sensaphone 400 will
call you by dialing up to four phone numbers when its
sensors detect abnormal conditions (i.e. temperature dips or spikes,
leaking water, intrusions, etc.). The new system --
a direct replacement of the Sensaphone Cottage Sitter --
incorporates the features of the Cottage Sitter to take
remote monitoring one giant leap forward with the ability
to control the thermostat by phone. Now you can set the
temperature hours before you arrive, ensuring that the house
is comfortable and cozy from the moment you walk in the door.
While the Sensaphone 400 comes with a plug-in AC power supply,
six size "C" alkaline batteries (not included) are required for
battery backup.
The Sensaphone 400 also allows you to customize the voice message
to describe each alarm. Never worry about someone tying up the
phone line with the new line seize feature that automatically
disconnects any extension phones to make the alarm phone call.
It Contacts You If Something Goes Wrong
With a built-in temperature sensor, microphone and an
AC power failure sensor, this system has the ability to
call four phone numbers and report the conditions with
voice-synthesized English if temperatures go above or
below certain levels, if a smoke alarm or security
system siren goes off, or if there's a power
failure (if the system is backed up with a battery).
You can also call your vacation home at any time
to obtain a status report, or to listen in to on-site
sounds, for total peace of mind.
The system can also be expanded with up to three
additional status sensors to detect other conditions
of your choice, so long as the sensors use
normally-open or normally-closed contacts.
These can include:
- Water Sensors (to see if there's
- flooding in the basement)
- Wind Sensors (to get an idea of what the
- surfing conditions are at the beach house)
- Rain Sensors (in case you want to postpone
- the trip until a dryer weekend)
- Freeze Sensors (in case you want an idea of what
- the snow conditions are like for your snowboarding trip)
- Temperature Sensor Just like the one built into
- the Sensaphone® so you can monitor additional
- temperature-sensitive areas of the property
- Smoke Detector (for an instant alert in the event of a fire)
Remote Thermostat Control
The Sensaphone 400 remote thermostat feature even
lets you control the thermostat with a phone call,
which is great for getting the vacation home to your
preferred temperature hours before you arrive.
And if you forget to turn the thermostat down
before you leave, you can easily do it from any phone,
wherever you are. The Sensaphone 400 works with
most standard thermostats or set-back thermostats.
Thermostats are sold separately. The relay outputs are
controlled by a low-voltage relay that can handle
30V AC/DC up to 1 Amp (max).
