The Model
PERS-2400B Personal Emergency Reporting System
is a supervised wireless emergency reporting
product designed for medical alert applications.
The table-top or wall-mount Console provides
pushbutton emergency assistance to anyone who
desires additional security and peace of mind.
For the visually impaired, each button on the
Console is molded with braill characters to
identify the button’s function.
The Console
receives signals from up to 16 Linear wireless
transmitters. Activating a transmitter causes
the Console’s digital communicator to send the
appropriate alarm report to the central
monitoring station via the standard telephone
network. In addition to the central station
report, audible and visual indications occur and
the alarm relay energizes during an emergency
activation.
The emergency
alarm can be triggered by the large EMERGENCY
button on the face of the Console or with a
wireless transmitter. The fire alarm can be
triggered by wireless Model DXS-73 smoke alarms.
The carbon monoxide alarm can be triggered by
wireless Model DXS-80 carbon monoxide detectors.
The optional
activity timer can be set for 8, 12 or 24 hour
operation. The emergency alarm will trigger
automatically if the time set elapses before an
activity transmitter is triggered or the
Console’s HOME button is pressed.
If the optional
Model VB-4B voice board is installed, the
Console will talk to the user. The digitized
voice, will sound emergency fire, timer done
soon, and other system operation, setup, and
supervisory prompts from a 38 word vocabulary.
In addition, the voice board supports 2-way
automatic, 2-way manual, and 1-way listen-only
audio communications with central station
monitoring personnel using the Console’s
built-in high-sensitivity microphone and
speaker.
The Console can
be programmed to act as a remote controlled
speakerphone. With the speakerphone mode enabled
(Model VB-4B voice board required) the Console
will monitor the telephone line for an incoming
call. Activating any emergency transmitter (or
the Console’s EMERGENCY button) while the
telephone is ringing will cause the Console to
seize the line and begin full duplex voice
communications. Activating any emergency
transmitter (or EMERGENCY button) during the
call will disconnect the line. The Console will
auto-disconnect after 15, 30, or 60 minutes
(programmable).
Supervised
transmitters regularly send status reports to
the Console and low battery reports when their
batteries are low. When the Console receives a
low battery report, the TROUBLE indicator
flashes. If the Console fails to receive a
status report from a transmitter for a period of
24 hours, the TROUBLE indicator will light. All
supervisory conditions can sound a local
annunciation and be reported to the central
station.
The Console’s
digital communicator can route calls to three
telephone numbers: primary, secondary, and
supervisory. General reporting codes and
individual sensor reporting codes are
programmable for the 4x2 format. Alternately,
Ademco Contact ID may be selected for the
communicator reporting format.
Powered by a
low voltage plug-in transformer, the Console has
provisions for a rechargeable backup battery for
operation during AC power outages. A power
switch allows for out-of-service storage of the
Console without discharge of the battery. The
battery is recharged and supervised by the
Console. If the backup battery becomes low the
POWER light will flash and the condition can be
reported to the central station.
Installation
and programming are made easy by Linear’s
RA-2400 remote access software.
