Step 6 Setting the AMBER CLASSIC Operational Mode Visonic Amber Wireless Emergency Response System Panels are capable of being configured in the following four operational modes using the Home Health Care PC Software (HHCPC).
MOUNTING THE UNIT The Unit can be located on a table, or on a wall. In both cases the Unit should be near an electrical outlet and phone line. Mounting on a Table (Fig. 4) X Insert the AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECT stand into the holes (see illustration below) and place the X AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECT on a table. Mounting on the Wall Drill 2 holes in the mounting wall and insert wall anchors. Insert 2 screws in the wall (leave a 5 mm or 0.2 inch gap between the screw heads and the wall).
USING YOUR SYSTEM Using your AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECTX X Your AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECT is the communication center of your system. When your pendant transmitter or optional fall-detector/smoke detector signals the AMBER SELECT / AMBER X X SELECT , the AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECT contacts your Monitoring Center or private phones to report the emergency event. X Your AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECT includes the following buttons.
Changing System Status When the user wants to leave the premises, the unit status must be changed to AWAY mode. The CHECK button ( ) should be held down for 5 seconds (3 seconds in Intrusion mode). The unit announces and displays (AMBER SELECT only) AWAY – REMINDERS OFF. In this state no medication reminders and no pendant checks will be announced. The unit's speaker is disabled and the yellow LED will turn off. In addition, in AWAY mode inactivity detection is also disabled.
In the Event that No Activity is detected (Motion Detector / Transmitter - Optional) The motion detector and door contact transmitter are used to monitor the user's activity. If no activity is detected by the enrolled transmitter(s) during a preX defined time, the AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECT will report an inactivity condition to the Monitoring Center, which will initiate a two-way voice communication. Inactivity time periods are defined remotely by the central station.
The Amber, if programmed, emits internal siren (Speaker) type sounds and announces that it is dialing the Central Station or private phones. Disarm can be performed in one of two ways, via the remote transmitter (this can be performed outside the protected area) or press and hold the CHECK button on the unit for 3 seconds (if pre-defined when programming the unit). Reminders will be active. Care Home Mode In Care Home Mode, emergency calls have two priority levels: 1) Low Priority and 2) High Priority.
TESTING PROCEDURES The following are the necessary procedures for testing relevant system devices. User Test Mode There are two ways to enter User Test mode: • During every 2-way voice communication with the monitoring center or a private phone, the AMBER X SELECT / AMBER SELECT automatically enters User Test mode once the operator uses the telephone line. • During a telephone conversation, the party at the other end of the telephone line must press **# in order to enter user test mode.
TROUBLESHOOTING The following table provides a list of problems that may arise with the system together with possible solutions. PROBLEM DEFINITION SOLUTION The red light on the AMBER SELECT / X AMBER SELECT is flashing and beeps are heard. The Base Unit informs your Monitoring Center that there is a problem. The display (AMBER SELECT only) shows AC POWER FAILURE. The display (AMBER SELECT only) shows TELEPHONE LINE TROUBLE. No electrical power is being supplied to the AMBER SELECT / AMBER X SELECT .
APPENDIX A: HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLANNING The onset of a fire can often spread rapidly throughout your home, leaving you with little time to escape safely. Getting out of the house depends, largely, on advance warning from smoke detectors together with an advance planning strategy – namely, a home fire escape plan familiar to all members of your family and which has previously been put into practice. Perform the following steps: • Make preparations with members of your family to conduct an evacuation plan.
