D-301438 AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECT
X
USER’S GUIDE 11
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. When an
emergency event is initiated, the AMBER SELECT /
AMBER SELECTX dials the Low Priority phone
numbers (1st private telephone number and/or 2nd
private telephone number). A member of staff receives
the call and enters the room to verify the call by
pressing the Check button on the AMBER SELECT /
AMBER SELECTX unit. The unit now enters Staff
Mode.
Note: If the member of staff receiving the call answers
the call from their telephone handset and then hangs
up, the AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECTX will dial
the same telephone number again after a pre-defined
period of time and will continue to do so until the call is
verified by the AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECTX
unit from which the call was placed.
To assign a higher priority level to the emergency event,
the member of staff must initiate an Emergency report
during Staff Mode. The AMBER SELECT / AMBER
SELECTX dials the High Priority phone numbers (3rd
private telephone number and/or 4th private telephone
number, and then Central Station Tel#1 and/or Central
Station Tel#2) and a "Staff escalation event" is recorded
in the event log.
Warden Mode
Warden mode enables the reporting of events between
the Central Station and private telephones, in the
following order:
1st and 2nd private telephone numbers – the first
private telephone number is dialed, then the second
private telephone number is dialed, and then the first
private telephone number is redialed. Each telephone
number is dialed a pre-defined number of times.
3rd and 4th private telephone numbers – the third
private telephone number is dialed, then the fourth
private telephone number is dialed, and then the third
telephone number is redialed. Each telephone number
is dialed a pre-defined number of times.
Central Station 1 and 2 - the first Central Station
telephone number is dialed, then the second Central
Station telephone number is dialed, and then the first
Central Station telephone number is redialed. Each
Central Station telephone number is dialed a pre-
defined number of times.
During night-time hours, the first and second telephone
numbers are skipped, and events are reported to the
third and fourth telephone numbers, and then to the first
and second Central Station telephone numbers.
Note: If any telephone number field is empty, it is
skipped and the next telephone number is dialed.
Common Area Mode
"Common area" is an operation mode of the Amber unit
that enables PERS coverage in congregate living
facilities for residents that have another Amber unit in
their apartment/unit (single mode).
Note: Panel placed in "Common area" should always be
used in conjunction with an additional personal Amber
unit for every registered patient.
Common area mode makes it possible for an
AmberSelectX panel to work with up to 255 pendant
transmitters. A panel programmed for use in common
area mode is designed to be placed in "Common area"
such as dining halls, craft areas, recreation areas,
central hallways, etc. If someone needs to call for
assistance when out of range of their personal panel,
the common area panel(s) is intended to handle the
alarm signal. The personal console (in each
apartment/unit) is designed to handle not only alarm
signaling but also any trouble condition (for example,
pendant low battery).
Note: Panel placed in "Common area" will not issue
trouble alerts (for example, pendant low battery).
Important: Please keep this information in mind and of
course ensure that your customers perform a weekly
test of their pendants as required in the instruction
manual. When testing the system by activating the
pendant pushbutton, if the pendant’s red LED
illuminates steadily, the battery is O.K., but if the
pendant’s red LED blinks, this indicates low battery
which requires an immediate pendant replacement.
