MIH, Monitoring

DESCRIPTION OF UNIT:

NOTE THAT THESE FUNCTIONS HAVE NOW LARGELY BEEN SUPERSEDED BY DR. DAVID DUBINS REMOTE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEMS. For critical temperature control units we recommend that each device be protected by a remote (call out) thermal alarm system; such as that shown above for MIH freezers. In the event that a sensor exceeds its set point limits, the alarm system will contact its pre-set user list after 5 minutes. The system will cycle through its contact list (4), until it receives the correct response code. Once the correct access code has been entered, the alarm will turn off and discontinue calling other contacts. During the call, the system will provide information about which sensor had surpassed its set temperature limit, what the current temperature is, and the total time the temperature limit has been exceeded.

To access freezer alarm system:
1. Call lab phone number.
2. Ring three times and hang up.
3. Within 30 seconds, call lab phone again.
4. Freezer alarm system will answer and request access code.

To check current status:
1. Access freezer alarm system.
2. Press 1 for current status.
3. The system will ask you which sensor you want check.
4. Enter the sensor number (1-8).
5. The system will provide the current status of specified sensor.

To change sensor temperature limits
1. Access freezer alarm system.
2. Press 2 to set limits.
3. The system will ask you which sensor you want to change limits for.
4. Enter the sensor number (1-8).
5. The system will announce the current sensor ID message. Press 1 to change or 2 to skip.
6.. The system will then announce the current low temperature limit. Press 1 to change or 2 to skip. It will repeat the temperature that was entered and proceed through this again for the current higher temperature limit.

For questions, please contact the MIH or email Dr. Henderson.
