Abstract
An embodiment of a electric power outage notification device is disclosed that combines several components including voltage transformation, a comparator circuit, a microprocessor and a data/fax modem chip. The invention further incorporates support components that aid in its overall functionality including a read-only memory, random access memory and a real-time clock. The unit is fully programmable using these components and can be programmed by software means to send an outage report to a selected remote computer modem, facsimile machine or alphanumeric pager. This outage report is sent to a programmed phone number after a power outage of a predetermined duration of time. The unit also reverses its role by providing notification of restored power.
