About the Universal Voice System (UVS)

Congratulations on your ownership of an ADEMCO Universal Voice

System (UVS). The ADEMCO UVS is comprised of a Universal Voice

Control Module (UVCM or UVCM–EU/A) and Universal Voice Station

(UVST).

The the UVCM or UVCM–EU/A, along with stations, comprise an

audio system that offers central station 2-way voice, user 2-way voice,

intercom, speakerphone, and alarm annunciation features. The

UVCM or UVCM–EU/A serves as a central audio controller. It

establishes audio signal pathways between the incoming telephone

line and stations, or between individual stations, based on the feature

being used.

The stations serve as the user interface. Each has a built-in

microphone and speaker that send audio signals to and receive audio

signals from the system. Each station has three keys, two LEDs, and

a volume control dial for controlling system operation and for

annunciating system status.

Depending on your specific installation, your Universal Voice System

may have up to 7 stations installed. These stations will have been

installed at various locations inside your premises; however, up to

two stations may have been installed outside your premises near the

front and/or back door. Stations that are installed inside your

premises are referred to as inside stations, and support all features.

Stations that are installed outside your premises are referred to as

outside stations. These stations support limited intercom, central

station, and user 2-way voice features.

2-Way Voice Operation (Central Station)

If programmed, this feature allows a central station operator to listen

and/or talk to individuals at the premises via the stations following

receipt of an alarm report from the premise’s alarm system. This

helps to prevent false alarms and in cases of an actual alarm, allows

the operator to gather information about the nature and locations of

the alarm that may be helpful to the responding fire, police, or rescue

agencies. This feature works in conjunction with the premises alarm

system and is controlled by the central station operator; it does not

require any intervention by you.

TouchTone (multi-frequency) telephone keypad.

Modes

The system provides three 2-way voice-operating modes that you can

select via telephone key presses.
