PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The PERS-2400 Console is a supervised wireless emergency reporting product designed for medical
alert applications. The table-top or wall-mount Console provides “pushbutton” emergency assistance to
anyone who desires additional security and peace of mind.
The Console has three emergency functions: emergency, fire, and activity. The emergency zone can be
triggered by the large EMERGENCY button on the face of the Console or with various models of wireless
transmitters. The fire zone can be triggered by wireless smoke alarms. The optional activity timer can be
set for 8, 12 or 24 hour operation. If the time expires before an activity transmitter is activated, or the
HOME button is pressed on the Console, the inactivity will trigger the emergency zone. For the visually
impaired, each button on the Console is molded with braille characters to identify the button’s function.
The Console is programmed using Linear’s RA-2400 remote access software. For details on
using the RA-2400 software, refer to the software’s built-in help file.
The Console can receive signals from Linear’s wireless battery-powered transmitters sending DX or DXS
format signals. Up to 16 individual transmitters can be used with the Console. Activating a transmitter
causes the Console’s built-in digital communicator to send the appropriate alarm report to the central
monitoring station via the standard telephone network. In addition to the central station report, audible
and visual indications occur and the alarm relay energizes during an emergency activation.
If the optional Model VB-4 voice board is installed, the Console will “talk” to the user. The digitally
synthesized, actual human voice, will sound “emergency”, “fire”, “timer done soon”, and other system
operation, setup, and supervisory prompts from a 38 word vocabulary. In addition, the voice board
supports 2-way automatic, 2-way manual, and 1-way listen-only audio emergency communications with
central station monitoring personnel using the Console’s built-in high-sensivity microphone and speaker.
Supervised transmitters regularly send status reports to the Console and low battery reports when their
batteries are low. When the Console receives a low battery report, the TROUBLE indicator flashes. If the
Console fails to receive a status report from a transmitter for a period of 24 hours, the TROUBLE indicator
will light. All supervisory conditions can sound a local annunciation and be reported to the central station.
The Console’s digital communicator can route calls to three telephone numbers: primary, secondary, and
supervisory. General reporting codes and individual sensor reporting codes are programmable for the
4x2 format. Alternately, Ademco Contact ID may be selected for the communicator reporting format.
Powered by a low voltage plug-in transformer, the Console has provisions for a recharagable backup
battery for operation during AC power outages. A backup battery disconnect switch allows for
out-of-service storage of the Console without discharge of the battery. The battery is recharged and
supervised by the Console. If the backup battery becomes low the POWER light will flash and the
condition can be reported to the central station.
OPERATION SUMMARY
A variety of Linear’s transmitters can be used with the Console. Supervised and non-supervised
transmitters in DX or DXS format can be used. The Consoles three zones function as follows:
EMERGENCY
Portable, supervised and non-supervised, pendant, belt-clip, or wristband type transmitters (Models
DXT-41, DXT-42, DXT-61A, DXS-21, DXS-23, DXS-62, DXS-63) and stationary, supervised Model
DXS-31 transmitters are used for medical alert applications. When this type of transmitter is triggered,
the Console sounds a two-tone siren and an emergency report will be sent to the central station. The
emergency zone can also be triggered by pressing the EMERGENCY button.
FIRE
Supervised Model DXS-72 wireless photoelectric smoke alarms can trigger the fire zone. When a smoke
alarm is activated, the Console sounds a repeated series of three beeps and a fire report will be sent to
the central station.
ACTIVITY
Supervised, switch or motion triggered transmitters (Models DXS-31/DXS-32 and DXS-54) can be used
for ensuring human activity. The motion detector will monitor human presence in a room. The contact
activated transmitter can be wired to a pushbutton or switch for manual activity monitoring. As long as a
signal is received at least once every 8, 12, or 24 hours (programmable) an alarm
will not
be triggered.
15 minutes before the programmed time expires, the HOME indicator will start blinking and a low pitched
beep will sound every ten seconds. The activity timer can be reset with a signal from one of these transmitters
or by pressing the HOME button on the Console. Failure to receive a signal within the programmed time period
will cause the Console to sound the two-tone emergency siren and report an inactivity alarm to the central
station. The activity timer can be turned on or off at the Console or through programming.
