The heart of this system is the console itself,
which is designed for tabletop use and is ideal for bedside placement. It features a centrally located EMERGENCY button for manual activation in the same manner as the personal transmitters. Two other controls are provided as well: a CLEAR button, which cancels alarms or resets the system following an alarm, and a HOME button, which resets or turns off the activity reporting timer (more on this capability in a moment). During an alarm, the console sounds a distinct tone to identify the type of alarm. During a power outage, continuous protection is ensured by a long-life back-up battery. Other valuable functions are easy to add. The console can be equipped for two -way voice communications. In an emergency situation, |
the console contacts the Emergency Monitoring
Center. With two-way voice capability, the console will also work as a speaker phone, allowing you and the Emergency Monitoring Center operator to talk directly with each other until help arrives. Special sensors can monitor activity within your household. In the absence of activity for a specified period (either eight, 12, or 24 hours), the console will automatically alert the Emergency Monitoring Center. In the presence of fire or smoke, optional smoke detectors will initiate an automatic fire alarm call to the Emergency Monitoring Center. Warning tones will be sounded by the console and the smoke detector to alert you, even if you are sleeping. |
Two waterproof remotes
to choose from The system includes a very versatile
personal emergency transmitter that you should keep with you all the time. A number of accessories make it easy to adapt to different circumstances. These include a wristband, a pocket/belt clip, and a pendant string. The transmitter is completely waterproof, so you can even wear it in the shower. And it will tell you when a transmission has been sent to the console through visual confirmation (a red indicator light) and audible confirmation (a beep). A long transmission range ensures that you can depend on its signal reaching the console. However, each unit must be tested for range at the individual location. The transmitter is also continuously monitored by the console, alerting you when its long life batteries get low. |
