<p>I operate an AP facility as part of my middle school science program. The system was running supergreat last school year, until there was a power outage, then it was a disaster.</p>

<p>My principal will purchase an alarm system. I am in very rural northeastern NM, I have some limited experience with a Sensaphone system from prior employment, but I don't know if they have to be hard-wired to a phone line...</p>
<p>My thought is to purchase an in expensive alarm to plug in, if power fails it will alarm with a loud sound. The Sensaphones are programmed to start making phone calls if the sound level changes, so it would start calling a phone list until someone arrived to turn off the alarm.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Does this sound like a good plan, does anyone else do anything differently?</p>
<p>Strangely, we do have a back up generator at the school, but for some reason when this particular power outage occurred, it tripped the GFI. That had never happened before, despite weekly power outage/generator tests.</p>
<p>I switched the system over to a non-GFI outlet after that happened, but now I want to alarm that supply.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any help/advice greatly appreciated. Obviously, we have to do this an inexpensively as possible.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks</p>
