PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The PERS-2400B Console is a supervised wireless emergency reporting product designed
for personal emergency 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 braille
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 fi re alarm can be triggered by wireless smoke alarms.
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”, “fi re”, “CO Alarm”, “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-sensivity 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 repor ts
when their batteries are low. When the Console receives a low battery report, the TROUBLE
indicator fl ashes. 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 4x2 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 fl ash and the condition
can be reported to the central station.
The Console is programmed using Linear’s RA-2400 remote access software (available on
CD and at Linear’s Web site: www.linearcorp.com). Refer to the software’s built-in help fi le for
programming details.

OPERATION SUMMARY
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:
EMERGENCY
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 personal emergency applications.
When an emergency transmitter is triggered, the Console sounds a two-tone siren and an
emergency report is sent to the central station. The emergency alarm can also be triggered
by pressing the Console’s EMERGENCY button.
FIRE
Supervised Model DXS-73 wireless photoelectric smoke alarms trigger the fi re alarm.
When the fi re alarm is activated, the Console sounds a repeated series of three beeps and
a fi re report is sent to the central station.
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)
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.
ACTIVITY
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 a low pitched beep will sound every
ten seconds. 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 cause the Console to sound the two-tone emergency siren
and send an inactivity report to the central station. The activity timer can be turned on or off
at the Console or through programming.

dealer’s warranty, if any. There are no obligations or liabilities on the part of Linear LLC
for consequential damages arising out of or in connection with use or performance
of this product or other indirect damages with respect to loss of property, revenue, or

IMPORTANT WIRELESS INFORMATION
Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fi ll an important need in
portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and
Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and
therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be
blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of
code settings.
• Changes or modifi cations to the device may void FCC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected
interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a
wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate
users.
