    Dear Charlie,

     

    Of all the experts listed, I hope that you are the one that might be able to help me. 

    We have an intruder alarm system that monitors the temperature of -80 deg C freezers in a room that is shared by three departments.  If any freezer rises above a certain danger level, the alarm trips and phones a mobile number with the message “alarm activation in freezer room”.  It gives no other information.  This means the phone holder has to attend the freezer room and either get the freezer back down to temperature or transfer specimens to another backup freezer. 

     

    We wish to upgrade the system to one that has approximately 12-15 zones that can be split into 3 distinct areas which are associated with a phone number each.  The idea being that when an alarm trips, in a specific area, the correct number is dialled thus alerting the correct department.  I have looked through various manuals and it is not clear if any systems will do this.  Would you be able to enlighten me regarding this.

     

    Thank you in anticipation.

     

    Regards
