CONSOLE

The DVS-2400 Console is the heart of the system. It monitors all of the system’s wireless sensors and controls the alarm sirens.

The Console constantly monitors the condition of the system’s sensors, displaying which protected doors and windows are open or closed. If an alarm occurs, the Console displays which sensor(s) caused it. When a sensor has a low battery, the Console displays which sensor needs a new battery. Sensors that send hourly status transmissions keep the Console informed of their operating condition.

Up to eight different custom user codes can be used to operate the system. For security, a user code must be entered to disarm (turn off) the system. The system can be armed (turned on) by entering a user code, or with the unique “Quick Arm” feature. The five restricted user codes and the special page alert user code can only arm and disarm the system, no programming changes are allowed. The master user code is allowed to program the Console, and a duress code can be selected for emergency disarming of the system with a duress report to the Central Station. The page alert user code can dial a pager number to inform the pager wearer when the Console is disarmed.

The Console’s memory will retain the user codes and all of the system’s programming, even during a total power loss. An optional backup battery can be installed to power the system during short power failures.

The built-in digital communicator connects the Console to a Central Alarm Monitoring Station through the telephone. With a monitored system, the central station can dispatch authorities in case of burglary, fire or other emergency. The central station can also call family, friends, neighbors, or anyone else designated on a custom call list.

Each sensor can report directly to the Central Station using the digital communicator’s Point ID feature. If a sensor triggers an alarm or experiences supervisory trouble, a unique report code can be sent for immediate identification of the event.

The optional Models VB-2 or VB-3 digital voice synthesis modules can be installed in the Console. The VB-2 module provides three exciting features: 2-way audio monitoring

capability at the Central Station through the communicator, local human voice prompts from the Console’s speaker, and voice prompted remote system control using in-house or off-site pushbutton telephones. The economy Model VB-3 is the same as the VB-2 without 2-way Central Station audio capability.

The Console has 24-hour capabilities that are always ready to operate, even when the Console is disarmed. They can be triggered by buttons on the Console, the Wireless Keypad, portable remote controls and smoke detectors. Pressing the [EMERGENCY] or [FIRE] button for two seconds will cause an immediate siren and call the central station. IMPORTANT: For personal emergency use only.

The Console’s Environmental feature is active 24-hours and can be triggered with sensors connected to devices such as water flow detectors, over/under temperature sensors, flood sensors, toxic gas detectors, etc. The Environmental feature activates the chime annunciator without sounding the siren. The Environmental feature does not send communicator reports.

An Automation Output in the Console provides an easy way to connect external devices to the Console. The output is fully programmable to activate on a variety of conditions, such as when the system is armed, during alarms, and during exit/entry delays. The Automation Output can connect to lighting control modules, relays, noisemakers, and indicators. The Console’s and wireless keypad’s (A) key and transmitters can control the Automation Output.

The Console can be programmed locally using its own keypad or remotely, over the telephone, using Linear’s Model RA-2400

Remote Access software program. The RA-2400 upload/download program is aWindowsapplicationthat runs

on a personal computer and communicates with the Console through a modem, connected directly to the Console or through the telephone line.

DOOR/WINDOW SENSORS

TheDXS-31&DXS-32sensorsmonitordoorsandwindows.They send radio signals to the Console. One type of signal is sent when the door or window is opened, and a different type of signal is sent when the door or window is closed. If the Console is armed, a sensor can trigger the Console’s burglary siren when its door or window is opened. Both sensors are supervised, and send hourly status reports and monitor battery condition.

DXS-31	DXS-32

WIRELESS KEYPAD

The DXS-10 wireless keypad is used to control the Console remotely. It can be placed in a convenient spot so the user doesn’t have to go to the Console to control the system. The wireless keypad can also trigger the emergency or fire siren and actuate the Automation Output. Pressing the [ ] key will cause the Console to sound beeps corresponding to the current operating mode. The DXS-10 is

supervised, it sends hourly status reports and monitors its battery condition.

DXS-10

SMOKE DETECTORS

The DXS-72 is a high quality smoke detector with a built-in radio transmitter. As soon as smoke is detected, the unit will sound its local noisemaker. Then, 20 seconds after the local noisemaker sounds, the transmitter sends an alarm signal to the Console. The alarm signal will be repeated every 20 seconds as long as smoke is still present. A restoral signal will be sent when the smoke detection chamber clears. The DXS-72 is

supervised, and sends hourly status reports and monitors battery condition.

REMOTE CONTROLS

The DXT-41, DXT-61 single-button and DXT-23, DXT-42 multi-button remote controls can be used to remotely arm and disarm the Console. The DXT-42’s left button will arm and the right button will disarm the Console. Pressing both buttons simultaneously on the DXT-42 will trigger the emergency siren. Alternately, the console can be programmed to respond to the DXT-42 by arming and disarming with the left button, and activating the automation output with the right button. Each transmitter can be programmed to activate various other Console functions. These transmitters are not supervised.

DXT-41

DXT-42

DXT-61

GLASS BREAK DETECTOR

The DXS-91 is a glass break detector with an audio sound discriminator and a built-in radio transmitter. The unit “listens” for the sound of breaking glass.

When glass breakage is detected, the unit sends an alarm signal to the Console. The DXS-91 is supervised, it sends hourly status reports and monitors its battery condition.

PANIC BUTTONS

The DXT-21, DXS-21 single-button and DXT-23 and DXS-23 two-button transmitters can be used as portable “panic buttons”. Pressing the front or top button on the DXT-21, DXS-21 at any time will trigger the emergency siren. Pressing both front buttons simultaneously on the DXT-23 & DXS-23 at any time will trigger the emergency siren. These transmitters can be programmed to activate various other Console functions. The DXT-21 and DXT-23 transmitters are not supervised. The DXS-21 and DXS-23 transmitters are supervised.

DXT-21	DXT-23
DXS-21	DXS-23

The DXS-62 and DXS-63 transmitters can be used as portable “panic buttons”. Pressing the single button on the DXS-62, or pressing both buttons on the

DXS-63, at any time will trigger the emergency siren. These supervised transmitters send hourly status signals and low battery signals if the battery is low.

BILL TRAP

The DXS-81 bill trap can be used with the Console in small commercial hold-up installations. The unit is concealed in a cash drawer under a stack of currency, with a single “bait” bill secured in its money clip. During a hold-up, the cashier removes the stack of currency along with the “bait” bill. When a “bait” bill is removed, the transmitter sends a signal to the Console. Four additional signals are sent within the first minute after the “bait” bill is removed. When the “bait” bill is replaced, a restore signal is sent. The DXS-81 is supervised, it can send hourly status reports (optional) and monitors its battery condition.

DXS-81

PASSIVE INFRARED MOTION DETECTOR

The DXS-54 is a passive infrared (PIR) motion detector with a built-in radio transmitter. The PIR detects motion in its detection pattern by measuring the infrared emission levels of objects that it “sees”. If the infrared levels change quickly, as when a person moves across the detection pattern, the PIR will recognize the change as an intrusion and send an alarm signal to the Console. An alarm will be triggered if the Console is in the Away Mode. The DXS-54 is supervised, it

sends hourly status reports and monitors its battery condition.

ABOUT SENSOR STATUS SUPERVISION

All DXS Format sensors transmit hourly status reports. All DXT Format sensors do not transmit hourly status reports. Both sensor formats can be used with the Console.

When a sensor is programmed into the Console, the Console will set the sensor as non-supervised or supervised. Sensors set as non-supervised are not expected to send hourly status reports. Sensors set as supervised are expected to send hourly status reports. If a status report is not received in 8 hours from a sensor set as supervised, the TROUBLE indicator will flash.

When sensors are programmed into the Console, ALL

STATIONARY SENSORS ARE SET AS SUPERVISED, ALL PORTABLE SENSORS ARE SET AS NON-SUPERVISED.

If stationary DXT Format sensors have been programmed into the Console, be sure to change their setting to non-supervised to prevent TROUBLE indications. This will not prevent low battery monitoring.

If portable DXS Format sensors have been programmed into the Console, and the installation requires supervision for specific portable sensor(s), change the selected portable sensors setting to supervised.

After programming the sensors, if changes are required, refer to “Changing a Sensors Supervision” on Page 26 for details on changing the way a sensor’s supervision is set.
