The cellular texting alarm is a long distance real-time notification system used in combination with the Scout Temperature Monitoring System. A cellular text message will be sent out to up to three separate mobile devices when the burn room temperatures exceed the trip limits (which are preset via the Scout Temperature Monitoring System). Cellular messages notify the user of both the time and date of when the temperatures are exceeded, when the temperatures return to normal, and when a power outage occurs. It will also send a message when the power is reestablished, and when the backup batteries are low. The cellular alarm itself includes two inputs, a 100 decibel buzzer, and cellular programming capabilities.
The alarm is contained in a gasketed aluminum NEMA 4X enclosure. 120 VAC electrical service, component assembly, Verizon cellular activation/annual fee, backup batteries, and wiring materials are not included.
