User Guide for the Silence Sense Sr Silence Sense Detector and Pager Dialer Version 1 5 DM Engineering 2174 Chandler St Camarillo CA 93010 805 987 7881 www DMEngineering com Theory of Operation The Silence Sense Sr is a microprocessor based device that senses the presence of audio from a single ended input over a wide range of input levels A user adjustable input control and timeout duration control are used to set the input sensitivity and timeout duration When the audio input ceases for a predetermined user selectable period approximately 3 seconds to 1 minute maximum time out or 6 seconds to 4 minutes maximum time out jumper selectable a pre determined phone number and tone or paging sequence is transmitted over a standard telephone line If set to chain a second phone number and tone or paging sequence will be processed automatically Re application of audio automatically resets the silence sense detector If the chain feature is not used the Pager Dialer section has an additional input that may be connected by the user for any purpose of their choice A contact closure or logic low will activate this second input channel Power indication is indicated by a green LED which turns amber during dialing and paging sequences Audio presence and timeout indication is indicated by a bi color LED for ease of setup Programming is accomplished using the HyperTerminal program supplied with Microsoft Window
