Service is essential for maintaining your system, and should be carried out each year. For example the re chargeable batteries in both the control box and the bell box do have a limited life. These should be changed every three years. They should also be checked every year to ensure the charge circuits are working and that the batteries are functioning correctly.

Batteries are fitted in both the control panel and bell box. These are rechargeable and both the battery condition and charge circuits should be checked annually. If not the alarm may not work in power cut conditions (just when a burglar may call). The batteries used are a special standby type which deteriorate over time. It is recommended that they be changed every three years.

Voltages and resistance measurements should be taken for each detector annually, this provides information to detect early deterioration of the system.

Walk testing the system ensures every detector is working correctly and that it has not been moved, or replaced incorrectly say during decorating or home improvements. It has been known for detectors to be painted or wall papered over rendering them useless.

Optional Mains testing can be carried out ensure your continued safety, when fitted the mains spur is installed to IEE regulations and earth loop impedances have to meet certain criteria. If for any reason this alters there could be a risk of electric shock. Annually checking this ensures your continued safety.

Advice on upgrading your system after building alterations, or advice on the latest security developments can be given by our engineers during these visits.

A security or fire system installed in your home or business communicates with our 24-hour monitoring center through ordinary telephone lines or, alternatively, through a cellular radio or direct internet connection. At the present time, the direct phone line connection is the most reliable method of communication.

You arm your system when you want us to monitor entry to your location. Components of the system include door and window sensors, motion detectors and glass breakage detectors. These components may be hard-wired to your alarm panel or wireless depending on your unique needs.

In addition to entry detection which occurs when you arm your system, you may also have “panic buttons” which may be activated irrespective of whether or not the system has been armed. An alarm incident results in an immediate seizure of the telephone line to transmit the signal to the monitoring station.

When we receive an alarm signal from your system, we contact the premises, the appropriate responding authorities and your personal contacts in the order dictated by the type of signal which has been received. Normally alarm signals are received and a dispatch attempt is made ASAP. You have the ability to cancel inadvertent alarms via your alarm keypad which will stop dispatch efforts.

In addition to alarm signals, your system can be programmed to communicate automatic periodic tests, low battery state, and entry and exit information.

The Model PERS-2400B Personal Emergency Reporting System 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. For the visually impaired, each button on the Console is molded with braill characters to identify the button’s function.

The Console receives signals from up to 16 Linear wireless transmitters. Activating a transmitter causes the Console’s 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.

The emergency alarm can be triggered by the large EMERGENCY button on the face of the Console or with a wireless transmitter. The fire alarm can be triggered by wireless Model DXS-73 smoke alarms. The carbon monoxide alarm can be triggered by wireless Model DXS-80 carbon monoxide detectors.

The optional activity timer can be set for 8, 12 or 24 hour operation. The emergency alarm will trigger automatically if the time set elapses before an activity transmitter is triggered or the Console’s HOME button is pressed.

If the optional Model VB-4B voice board is installed, the Console will talk to the user. The digitized 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 communications with central station monitoring personnel using the Console’s built-in high-sensitivity microphone and speaker.

The Console can be programmed to act as a remote controlled speakerphone. With the speakerphone mode enabled (Model VB-4B voice board required) the Console will monitor the telephone line for an incoming call. Activating any emergency transmitter (or the Console’s EMERGENCY button) while the telephone is ringing will cause the Console to seize the line and begin full duplex voice communications. Activating any emergency transmitter (or EMERGENCY button) during the call will disconnect the line. The Console will auto-disconnect after 15, 30, or 60 minutes (programmable).

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 4×2 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 rechargeable backup battery for operation during AC power outages. A power 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.

Installation and programming are made easy by Linear’s RA-2400 remote access software.
