1. INTRODUCTION
The PERS-4200 Console is a supervised wireless emergency reporting
product designed for personal emergency reporting applications. The
table-top Console provides “pushbutton” emergency assistance to
anyone who desires additional security and peace of mind.
1.1 Product Description
The Console receives signals from up to 16 Linear wireless transmitters
(called “sensors”). Activating a transmitter causes the Console’s digital
communicator to send the appropriate alarm report to the central
monitoring station via a standard land-line telephone connection or
through the optional cellular wireless communications module. In addition
to the Central Station report, voice prompts sound from the Console and
multi-color indicator rings around the Console’s buttons display status.
The emergency alarm can be triggered by the HELP button on the
Console or with a wireless transmitter. The fi re alarm can be triggered
by wireless smoke detectors, and gas alerts can be triggered by wireless
carbon monoxide detectors. Wireless transmitters can also be confi gured
as activity timer reset devices to verify activity at the subscriber’s location.
A built-in digital voice synthesizer can speak voice prompts in English, or
Spanish to guide the user during operation, and guide the installer during
programming. Language specifi c Console button labels are supplied for
alternate language use. For the visually impaired, a braille label is also
supplied to identify the Console’s buttons.
Powered by a low voltage plug-in power supply, the Console includes
a rechargeable backup battery for operation during AC power outages.
The Console must be confi gured before use. Linear’s RA4200 software
confi gures the Console remotely through the standard telephone line, or
locally through the Console’s USB port, or through the optional cellular
module via the Linear Voice Gateway. In addition, limited programming
can be done remotely through the standard telephone line with a
touch-tone telephone.
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, pendant, belt-clip, or wristband type transmitters and stationary
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
The Model DXS-73 wireless photoelectric smoke alarm transmitter
triggers the fi re alarm. When the fi re alarm is activated, the Console
announces the fi re alarm and a fi re report is sent to the Central Station.
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
The Model DXS-80 wireless carbon monoxide detector triggers the CO
alarm. When a carbon monoxide alarm is activated, the Console announces
the gas alarm and a carbon monoxide report is sent to the Central Station.
Activity
Switch or motion triggered transmitters 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 from each
activity sensor during a programmed activity time window, 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
three minutes 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.
