General Description
The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm is a complete tem-
perature monitor and alarm system with integrated autodialer.
Be sure to enter the correct Subnet Mask and Gateway Address for the net-
work the OMA-V520-DCP is on.
The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm monitors up to four
(4) K-type thermocouple temperature sensors, one (1) dry contact
alarm input, and power.
If the status web page does not display/load correctly (DCP units)
Verify that you have the latest version of Java loaded on your computer.
The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm has programmable
high and low temperature limits and an alarm time delay for each
sensor. An identification message can be recorded for each sensor,
indicating where the sensor is located to allow a quick response to a
problem. The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm has nu-

FCC PART 68 INFORMATION
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The FCC Part 68
Label is located on the bottom of the unit. This label contains the FCC Registration
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested,
this information must be provided to your telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to
your telephone line and still have all of those device ring when your telephone num-
ber is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices con-
nected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of de-
vices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact
your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
Connection to the telephone network should be made by using standard
modular telephone jacks, type RJ11. The plug and/or jacks used must comply with
FCC Part 68 rules. If this telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone net-
work, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinu-
ance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone
company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of
your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in it's facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment.
If they do, you will be notified in advance in order for you to make necessary modifi-
cations to maintain uninterrupted service.
The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm can monitor any
switch, relay, or dry contact with its dedicated dry contact input. A
time delay can be programmed, enabling a contact to be closed a
maximum amount of time before the buzzer is activated and the
Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm begins its alarm proce-
dures.
The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm will turn on the
alarm relay and buzzer and begin making emergency notification
calls when the temperature of any sensor is out of limits for greater
than the alarm time delay or if the dry contact input is active.
The Ethernet Data Collection Package version (VM520-DCP) allows
you to collect data across your LAN and store readings on PC. Also,
alert emails can be sent out to alert staff to temperature issues. A
built-in web server allows you to use a simple web browser to check
the temperatures by entering the IP address of the device into a web
browser.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone
company. Connection to party lines is subject to tariffs.
If trouble is experienced with this unit, for repair or warranty information,
please contact customer service at the address and phone listed below. If the
equipment is causing harm to the network, the telephone company may request that
you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
