PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The VB-4 Audio Module is designed as an add-on accessory for the PERS-2400 Personal Emergency Reporting System Consoles. The module plugs directly into the Console’s circuit board connectors.

A digitally synthesized human voice produced by the VB-4 module announces important system information through the Console’s speaker. The volume control adjusts the voice level.

The VB-4 features 2-way audio (manual and full duplex) and audio listen-only capabilities for Central Station monitoring. The small microphone supplied fits into the Console’s case. The module’s high-gain amplifier allows the Central Station to monitor the sounds in the installation after an alarm. In 2-way full duplex mode, the Central Station operator can talk back to the subscriber through the Console’s speaker. In 2-way manual mode the Central Station operator can control the direction of the 2-way communications using a pushbutton telephone.

The Model RSM-1 Remote Speaker/Microphone can also be used with the VB-4 to increase its audio coverage area.

IMPORTANT !!!

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need in portable wireless signalling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.

✶For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.

✶A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.

✶Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.

✶Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.

✶A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
