PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ER-1 is a supervised emergency reporting console designed primarily for medical alert applications.
ER-1 will call a central station over the public telephone network with the simple press of a button, providing the
user with security, freedom and peace of mind in the knowledge that assistance is available 24 Hours a day, 365
days a year.
The modern design of the ER-1 unit allows it to be sited on a desk or mounted on a wall.
An emergency call can be triggered by the large emergency button on the front of ER-1 or from a small personal
radio transmitter worn either as a pendant, watch or belt clip.
Superior range allows the pendant to be used both inside and outside.
For the visually impaired, each button on the ER-1 is moulded with an embossed symbol to identify the button's
function.
The ER-1 can receive signals from up to 16 wireless pendants/wrist transmitters.
Activating the ER-1 causes the console to send an emergency alarm report to a central monitoring station (CMS)
and to provide an audible and visual indication of the event.
After receiving an alarm report the central station operator will call the activating ER-1 and conduct a two way
communication with the user. See page 8 “auto answer timer”.
The ER-1 console supports 3 voice communication modes:
- two way hands free duplex. CMS calls back within 30 seconds and presses
# for 2 way communication. See page 9 (Auto answer timer) for extended
connect time to CMS for operator call back.
- one way, speak only* CMS response. Press key 1 to increase volume (talk)
- one way, listen only* CMS response. Press key 2 to increase volume (listen)
* volume automatically increased +6db
After an alarm report has been sent to the central station, the ER-1 can send up to 3 email messages to friends,
family or doctor etc.
ER-1 is mains powered, and connects to a standard telephone socket. In the event of mains power failure an
internal re-chargeable backup battery provides power for emergency calls for up to 40 hours. The ER-1 may be
programmed to report mains power loss to the central station.
ER-1 also detects a defective telephone line.
ER-1 may be programmed locally or remotely without the use of specialized software.
- using the standard serial com port of a computer (locally)
- using a standard modem (remotely)
The ER-1 unit can be sited on a table or mounted on a wall. The unit requires a telephone socket and power point
nearby. ER-1 should be sited in a central location. Ensure that the user can reach ER-1 quickly.
