PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The PERS-3600 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 fire alarm can be triggered by a wireless smoke alarm.

ACTIVITY TIMER

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.

VOICE PROMPTS

To simplify operation, the Console can “speak” to the subscriber with its built-in digitally
synthesized voice. The Console will say “emergency”, “fire”, “timer done soon”, and other system
operation, setup, and supervisory prompts from a 49 word vocabulary. If necessary, the voice
option can be disabled.

AUDIO COMMUNICATIONS

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.

DIGITAL COMMUNICATOR

The Console’s digital communicator can route calls to three telephone numbers: primary,
secondary, and supervisory. General reporting codes and individual sensor repor ting 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).

2

POWER SUPPLY

2

Powered by a low voltage plug-in transformer, the Console has provisions for a rechargeable

2

backup battery for operation during AC power outages. A power switch allows for out-of-service

3

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 flash and the condition can be reported to the central
station.

PROGRAMMING

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

5

OPERATION SUMMARY

A variety of Linear’s supervised DXS and non-supervised DX format transmitters can be

6

used with the Console. Transmitters can be assigned to the following three functions:

6

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-62, DXS-63) and stationary,
supervised Model DXS-31 transmitters are used for medical aler t 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.

FIRE

Supervised Model DXS-72 wireless photoelectric smoke alarm triggers the fire alarm. When the
fire alarm is activated, the Console announces the fire alarm and a fire 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 DXS­31 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.

AUTOMATIC FULL SYSTEM TEST

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.

REMINDER MESSAGES

As a special feature, the PERS-3600 Console can record and play up to approximately eight 15­second 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 three­minute intervals for either 15 or 30 minutes (programmable) until canceled. Messages can also
be programmed for single-play.

BUILT-IN SPEAKERPHONE

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).

TRANSMITTER SUPERVISION

Supervised transmitters regularly send status reports to the Console and low battery reports when
their batteries are low. When the Console receives a low batter y repor t, the STATUS indicator
blinks. If the Console fails to receive a status repor t 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).

IMPORTANT WIRELESS INFORMATION

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill 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 modifications 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.
