PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The PERS-3600B Console is a supervised wireless emergency reporting product designed for personal emergency applications. The table-top 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 braille characters to identify the button’s function.

The Console can receive 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 HELP button on the top of the Console or with a wireless transmitter. The fi re alarm can be triggered by a wireless smoke alarm.

ACTIVITY TIMER

The optional activity timer can be set for 8, 12 or 24 hour operation or disabled. 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.

VOICE PROMPTS

To simplify operation, the Console can “speak” to the subscriber with its built-in digitally synthesized voice. The Console will say “emergency”, “fi re”, “CO alarm”, “timer done soon”, and other system operation, setup, and supervisory prompts from a 50 word vocabulary. If necessary, the voice option can be disabled.

AUDIO COMMUNICATIONS

The Console can perform 2-way voice activated (duplex), 2-way manual, and 1-way listen-only audio communications through the Console’s built-in high-sensitivity microphone and speaker. Communications with central station monitoring personnel starts after an alarm. Communications can also be started without any subscriber action by calling the Console twice from any telephone and keying in a four digit password.

REMINDER MESSAGES

DIGITAL COMMUNICATOR

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 format can be selected. The telephone line is constantly monitored, line failure and restoral will be locally announced by the Console (optional through programming).

POWER SUPPLY

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 by the Console, even if the POWER switch is off (as long as the transformer is plugged in). If the backup battery becomes low, the POWER light will fl ash and the condition can be reported to the central station.

PROGRAMMING

The Console is programmed using the RA-2400 remote access software (available on CD and at Linear’s Web site: www.linearcorp.com). Refer to the software’s detailed instruction manual and built-in help fi le for programming details.

OPERATION SUMMARY

A variety of Linear’s supervised DXS and non-supervised DX format transmitters can be used with the Console. Transmitters can be assigned to the following four functions:

EMERGENCY

Portable, supervised and non-supervised, pendant, belt-clip, or wristband type transmitters (Models DXT-41, DXT-42, DXT-61A, DXS-21, DXS-23, DXS-62A) and stationary, supervised Model DXS-31 transmitters are used for personal emergency applications. When an emergency transmitter is triggered, the Console announces the emergency alarm and an emergency report is sent to the central station. The emergency alarm can also be triggered by pressing the Console’s HELP button.

FIRE

Supervised Model DXS-73 wireless photoelectric smoke alarm triggers the fi re alarm. When the

fire alarm is activated, the Console announces the fi re alarm and a fi re report is sent to the central station.

CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)

Supervised Model DXS-80 wireless carbon monoxide detectors trigger the CO alarm. When a carbon monoxide alarm is activated, the Console sounds a repeated series of four beeps and a carbon monoxide report is sent to the central station.

ACTIVITY

Supervised, switch or motion triggered transmitters (Models DXS-31/DXS-32 and DXS-54) can be used for ensuring human activity. The DXS-54 motion detector will monitor room activity. The DXS-31 and DXS-32 transmitters can be wired to a pushbutton or switch for manual activity monitoring. As long as a signal is received at least once every 8, 12, or 24 hours (programmable) an alarm will not be triggered. 15 minutes before the programmed time expires, the HOME indicator will start blinking and the Console will announce every ten seconds that the timer will run out soon. The activity timer can be reset with a signal from one of the activity transmitters or by pressing the HOME button on the Console. Failure to reset the activity timer within the programmed time period will trigger the Console’s emergency alarm and send an inactivity report to the central station. The activity timer can be turned on or off at the Console or through programming.

AUTOMATIC FULL SYSTEM TEST

The Console can be programmed to perform a full system test daily, weekly, or monthly. The automatic full system test can also be disabled. As long as all system components are operational, the system test report will be sent at the programmed interval. The full system test report will NOT be sent if any system component (transmitter, Console, phone line) is not fully functional.

As a special feature, the PERS-3600B Console can record and play up to approximately eight 15-second audio reminder messages. The reminder messages can be used to help the subscriber remember to take medications, call someone, get ready for an appointment, etc. Each message is controlled by a real time clock and can be programmed via the RA-2400 software to play daily, every other day, weekly, or monthly. Reminder messages are played and repeated in three- minute intervals for either 15 or 30 minutes (programmable) until canceled. Messages can also be programmed for single-play.

BUILT-IN SPEAKERPHONE

The Console can be programmed to act as a remote controlled “speakerphone”. With the speakerphone mode enabled, the Console will monitor the telephone line for an incoming call. Activating any emergency transmitter (or the Console’s HELP button) while the telephone is ringing will cause the Console to seize the line and begin speakerphone communications. Activating any emergency transmitter (or HELP button) during the call will disconnect the line. The Console will auto-disconnect after 15, 30, or 60 minutes (programmable).

TRANSMITTER SUPERVISION

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 STATUS indicator blinks. If the Console fails to receive a status report from a transmitter for a period of 24 hours, the STATUS indicator will light. All supervisory conditions can sound a local annunciation and be reported to the central station (optional through programming).
