Guard-It: Key Features and Benefits

Written by Eric | July 21 2011

RACO’s Guard-It is a low-cost autodialer with flexible features for dependable alarm and remote monitoring. Users can configure four universal input channels for analog or digital signals, which are field-programmable at the system’s control panel.

Upon alarm detection, the system calls a list of up to eight phone numbers. Respondents are given the station’s identity and specific alarm condition by a prerecorded voice message.

In addition to standard office phones, the alarm sequence can also call pagers, cell phones or voice mail. Respondents can press a button on the phone’s keypad to acknowledge the alarm and listen to background sounds at the site through a built-in microphone.

Users can call from any remote phone for status updates. Additionally, the system’s operating status is displayed on the front panel, while surge protection and noise suppression are standard.
