Niles Audio Personal Emergency Reporting System PERS-3600B Manuale Utente

The PERS-3600B Console is a supervised wireless emergency reporting product designed for 
medical alert applications. The table-top 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 braille characters to identify the button’s function. 
The Console can receive 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 HELP button on the top of the Console or with 
a wireless transmitter. The fi re alarm can be triggered by a wireless smoke alarm.

The optional activity timer can be set for 8, 12 or 24 hour operation or disabled. 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.

To simplify operation, the Console can “speak” to the subscriber with its built-in digitally 
synthesized voice. The Console will say “emergency”, “fi re”, “CO alarm”, “timer done soon”, and 
other system operation, setup, and supervisory prompts from a 50 word vocabulary. If necessary, 
the voice option can be disabled.

The Console can perform 2-way voice activated (duplex), 2-way manual, and 1-way listen-only 
audio communications through the Console’s built-in high-sensitivity microphone and speaker. 
Communications with central station monitoring personnel starts after an alarm. Communications 
can also be started without any subscriber action by calling the Console twice from any telephone 
and keying in a four digit password.

As a special feature, the PERS-3600B Console can record and play up to approximately eight 
15-second audio reminder messages. The reminder messages can be used to help the subscriber 
remember to take medications, call someone, get ready for an appointment, etc. Each message 
is controlled by a real time clock and can be programmed via the RA-2400 software to play 
daily, every other day, weekly, or monthly. Reminder messages are played and repeated in three-
minute intervals for either 15 or 30 minutes (programmable) until canceled. Messages can also 
be programmed for single-play.

The Console can be programmed to act as a remote controlled “speakerphone”. With the 
speakerphone mode enabled, the Console will monitor the telephone line for an incoming 
call. Activating any emergency transmitter (or the Console’s HELP button) while the telephone 
is ringing will cause the Console to seize the line and begin speakerphone communications. 
Activating any emergency transmitter (or HELP 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 STATUS indicator 
blinks. If the Console fails to receive a status report from a transmitter for a period of 24 hours, 
the STATUS indicator will light. All supervisory conditions can sound a local annunciation and be 
reported to the central station (optional through programming).

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 format can be selected. The 
telephone line is constantly monitored, line failure and restoral will be locally announced by the 
Console (optional through programming).

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 by the Console, 
even if the POWER switch is off (as long as the transformer is plugged in). If the backup battery 
becomes low, the POWER light will fl ash and the condition can be reported to the central station.

The Console is programmed using the RA-2400 remote access software (available on CD and at 
Linear’s Web site: www.linearcorp.com). Refer to the software’s detailed instruction manual and 
built-in help fi le for programming details.

A variety of Linear’s supervised DXS and non-supervised DX format transmitters can be used 
with the Console. Transmitters can be assigned to the following four functions:

Portable, supervised and non-supervised, pendant, belt-clip, or wristband type transmitters 
(Models DXT-41, DXT-42, DXT-61A, DXS-21, DXS-23, DXS-62A) and stationary, supervised 
Model DXS-31 transmitters are used for medical alert applications. When a medical alert 
transmitter is triggered, the Console announces the emergency alarm and an emergency 
report is sent to the central station. The emergency alarm can also be triggered by pressing the 
Console’s HELP button.

Supervised Model DXS-73 wireless photoelectric smoke alarm triggers the fi re alarm. When the 
fi re alarm is activated, the Console announces the fi re alarm and a fi re report is sent to the 
central station.

Supervised Model DXS-80 wireless carbon monoxide detectors trigger the CO alarm. When a 
carbon monoxide alarm is activated, the Console sounds a repeated series of four beeps and a 
carbon monoxide report is sent to the central station.

Supervised, switch or motion triggered transmitters (Models DXS-31/DXS-32 and DXS-54) can be 
used for ensuring human activity. The DXS-54 motion detector will monitor room activity. The DXS-
31 and DXS-32 transmitters 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 the Console will announce every ten seconds that the timer will run out soon. 
The activity timer can be reset with a signal from one of the activity transmitters or by pressing 
the HOME button on the Console. Failure to reset the activity timer within the programmed time 
period will trigger the Console’s emergency alarm and send an inactivity report to the central 
station. The activity timer can be turned on or off at the Console or through programming.

The Console can be programmed to perform a full system test daily, weekly, or monthly. The 
automatic full system test can also be disabled. As long as all system components are operational, 
the system test report will be sent at the programmed interval. The full system test report will NOT 
be sent if any system component (transmitter, Console, phone line) is not fully functional.
