In the T3000 software there is an email notification function which allows you to automatically send the system alarms to your email inbox.
Here’s how to set it all up.
- Select the T3 controller device you want to set up. This is normally handled by ‘Panel1’, the lowest panel ID in the system since its also in charge of other behind the scenes in the system already.
- Click the “Settings” button
-
Select the “Email” tab
Enter your outgoing email server and port in “SMTP server” and “Port Number” must be 25 for now since there’s no SSL on 143, etc.Enter your email address, name and password in “Email”, “User Name” and “Password” respectively.
Select NULL for Secure Connection. For now this is the only supported option, the non SSL connections. You can set up to two separate email addresses on the list of recipients. Click “OK” to save the data.
1.5 Set up a free account at smtp2go.com, its good for 1000 emails per month

Here’s the email settings for non SSL connections.
You can set up the daily limit here to keep the system from generating too many emails.
- In “PROGRAM”, you will write your usual prgramming which will trigger the alarms and through this email setup will mirror them to the outgoing email.
- The ALARM and DALARM keywords are used to set the trigger conditions for sending emails.
- INPUT and OUTPUT are as follows：
- The following is an example of the programming:
There is plenty of info and explanation about alarm programming in the T3000 user document, hit the F1 help key from within T3000 to bingh that up.
The DALARM or delayed alarm statement says that if the conditions in the statement are met, that is the temperature should be above 70 degrees for 60 seconds, then an alarm is generated. The second statement generates an alarm when the temperature is above 70 degrees and then is not retriggered till the temerpature drops back down by five degrees before resetting. Its up to you which you prefer, the ALARM or DALARM style statements, ALARM works well for temperature and other analog type alarms and DALARM works for high current or fuse blown type digital conditions.
The alarm text message is “ROOM 101 IS TOO HOT” will be generated in the T3000 system and show up for anyone logging into the system by a PC. These alarms will also be sent out by SMTP to the mail server.
To be done: Make sure ALL alarms from all panels go out, regardless of whcih panel they are generated on.
