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).
Important: Regardless of the operational mode used, each emergency pendant button and other wireless
device enrolled with an Amber panel should be manually tested regularly (at least once a week) to determine
if there is a low battery condition, identify radio interference and to protect against faults.
Mode Usage and Functionality
Single User
(1)
Suitable for general use inside a home or within congregate living facilities. Up to 29
detectors may be used in this mode, out of which up to 2 emergency pendant-buttons
and/or fall detectors may be enrolled for signaling alarm (emergency) and/or any other
trouble condition (for example, low battery in pendant). Single User Mode is supported
in: AMBER SELECT, AMBER SELECTX, AMBER CLASSIC, AMBER CLASSICX,
AMBER BASIC, AMBER LINK and AMBER GSLA.
Multi User
(1)
Suitable for use within congregate living facilities. Up to 29 emergency pendant buttons
and/or fall detectors may be enrolled for signaling alarm (emergency) and/or any other
trouble condition (for example, low battery in pendant). Multi User Mode is supported in:
AMBER SELECT, AMBER SELECTX, AMBER CLASSIC, and AMBER CLASSICX.
Note: This mode does NOT support Device Test Check or individual reminders.
Fire Only
(1)
Designed to trigger fire alerts only. The control panel functions as a fire alarm system,
and up to 29 detectors (non-pendant) may be enrolled. Fire Only Mode is supported in:
AMBER SELECT, AMBER SELECTX, AMBER CLASSIC and AMBER CLASSICX.
Note: This mode does NOT support Device Test Check, custom audio files, individual
reminders or the enrollment or monitoring of pendants.
Common
Area
(2)
Suitable for use within congregate living facilities, such as residential care homes and
hospitals specializing in senior care. Up to 255 emergency pendant buttons may be
enrolled for signaling alarm (emergency) only in Common Area mode. The first 29
enrolled detectors may be of any type, but detectors 30-255 may only be personal
pendants and/or fall detectors. Common Area Mode is supported in: AMBER SELECT,
AMBER SELECTX, AMBER CLASSIC and AMBER ClassicX.
Each emergency pendant button enrolled to an AMBER panel in Common Area
mode should also be enrolled to a separate AMBER panel in Single User mode to
enable the trouble condition reporting not covered by Common Area mode (as
described below). These additional panels should be installed in the patients’
rooms and configured to work in Single User mode for full functionality, including
individual reminders and reporting of pendant or fall monitor for battery status and
other trouble conditions. The panels must then be enrolled to the Common Area
panel to integrate the system.
Notes: Common Area mode does NOT support reporting individual reminders or
reporting of low battery or other pendant or fall detector trouble conditions.
(1)
When moving between the above three operational modes, the data entered into the previous operational mode will become
invalidated if it contradicts the conditions of the current operational mode. An error message will then appear on the HHCPC
installation software screen.
(2)
When switching from the Common Area mode to any other mode (and vice versa), all data entered by the user in the previous
operational mode will be automatically deleted.
