When the alarm is initiated, the console beeper will be turned on and an alarm dial-out sequence will be initiated after the normal
dial-out delay. Both voice and digital communicator dial-outs may be used. The voice dial-out will follow the Dial Order as
specified in Set Up Dial. The digital communicator will report the Freeze Alarm Code to the Central Station.
The sounder is not activated for freeze alarms (this feature must be activated by your installer).
Outdoor Temperature
An Outdoor Temperature Sensor is available which may be mounted outdoors to read the outdoor temperature. The zone used for
the outdoor sensor is set up as an outdoor temperature zone type, rather than as a PESM zone type. When set up this way, the
corresponding auxiliary output is not dedicated to the outdoor temperature sensor and may be used for other purposes. Also,
freeze alarms will not be generated by the outdoor temperature.
Outdoor temperature zones have a High and Low temperature associated with them that can be used for control purposes. An
example where the bathroom heat is turned on if the outdoor temp goes below 60 degrees is shown in the Programming section.
High and Low temperatures are changed the same way as a PESM.
Temperature Control of Appliances
You can control appliances connected to X-10 and ALC modules (such as a ceiling fan) using the Button feature of the Aegis
1000. For example, the ceiling fan can be programmed to come on if the temperature goes above the High temperature (a
programming example to set this up is shown in the Programming section).
High and Low setpoints for temperature zones are changed the same way as the PESM. However, on/off control of the ceiling
fan is done from the 1 (CONTROL) menu. Use the ceiling fan's unit number to turn it On or Off. The PESM and the ceiling fan
are linked together by a button program.
Temperature Alarms
Temperature sensors can be used to signal that a temperature (in a special room, like a greenhouse or wine cooler) has gotten too
high or too low. If the temperature in this zone goes above the High setpoint or below the Low setpoint, the console beeper is
activated (inside and outside sirens are not activated) and the central station and/or voice dialer is called.
The High and Low setpoints are changed as described for the PESM. Use the zone number that the temperature sensor is
connected to in place of the unit number.
NOTE: Setting a High or Low temperature to 0 takes it out of service.

The Status function is used to display the status of various items in the system. To enter the status menu, from the top-level
