1. Introduction

Ness Security Products have developed the Ness Medi-Alarm which provides the sick or elderly, Mum, Dad, friend or patient a simple and instant means of summoning assistance when needed.

And nothing could be easier to use than the feature packed Medi Alarm. It’s like having a full time carer that never sleeps.

Simply by pressing a radio pendant that can be worn aro und the neck, as a wrist watch or on a key ring, assistance can be summoned within seconds. These seconds could make all the difference.

If the t r a ns mit t e r is a c t iva t e d a r a d io sig na l is se nt t o th e ma in u nit. T he M ed i Ala r m will t he n dial one or two pre-programmed telephone numbers and send an alarm message to central monit oring st atio n indicating that ‘ HE LP’ is required.

Th e N es s M ed i Ala r m is ea sy t o ins ta ll an d ve r y simp le t o us e. It is de sig ned t o co mp ly wit h the Australian Standard AS2999 for such devices.

3. Installation

The Ness Medi is extremely easy to install and requires no too ls. The normal location for the Medi Alarm is at the first telephone installed in the premises. This ensures that the Medi Alarm has priority if it needs to send a message to t he centr al monitoring station. The local telephone sits on top of the Medi Alarm unit to make it as unobtrusive as possible.

Ano ther import ant aspect of t he inst allation is t he locat ion o f the Med i Alarm unit to give op timum rad io covera ge. To give the bes t all round cover age it is be s t t o have the Me di Alarm inst a lled ce nt r ally in t he pr emis es . T his may no t a lwa ys be po ss ible du e t o t he loc at io n o f t he telep hone and mains po wer but it must st ill be a consideration. Once a suitable locat ion is found the install can take place.

INSTALLATION EXAMPLE This example is based on the common Telstra T200 series telephone.

1) Select the best location, t aking into consideration the customers requirements and the above criteria.

2) Connect the plug pack and 9 volt Lithium battery and enter program mode if necessary by pr essing the ‘CAN CEL’ within five seco nds o f po werin g up t he system. (See pr ogramming guide)

3) Program in any additional pendants and \ or detection devices and other program parameters as required.

4) After which conduct a signal strength check on all devices to ensure correct radio operation.

5) Unplug the modular telephone plug on the T200 phone (marked as ‘LINE’) and plug it into the modular telephone socket marked ‘Line In’ on the Medi Alarm.

6) Using the supplied jumper lead with a modular telephone plug on each end. Plug one end into the socket o n the Medi Alarm marked ‘Line Out’ and the other end into the T200 phone marked ‘LINE’.

7) Lift the handset on the telephone to check that dial tone is present. This completes the telephone wiring process.

8) If t he Med i Alar m is in pr og ram mo de a nd no fur the r pr og ramming is re quir ed p res s t he ‘CANCEL’ button until ‘E’ is on the display then press the ‘HELP’ button to leave program mode.

NOTE: I t may be worth while to pre- program the system prior to arriving at the customers premises to ensure a smooth install takes place.

Peripheral Devices.

Radio PIR

The radio PIR is based on the Ness Quantum \ Ten+ design. It uses a 9 volt lithium battery as its power source, with it’s 4 minute sleep time, the battery life should be slightly longer. The PIR uses the Heimann Pyro Electric sensor for reliable stability. The PIR has very strong terminals mounted directly to the circuit board.

Link set tings:

Radio Enable link.

Having the link ‘ON’ will allow the radio transmitter to operate. Taking the link ‘OFF’ will disable the transmitter ( could be handy when programming multiple detectors into the main unit). The LED will indicate detection with the li nk ‘ON’ or ‘ OFF’. Always remember to h ave the link on so it can communi cate with the Medi Alarm.

Test link.

In Test mode the three minute sleep time is disabled. Test mode is used to check PIR detection coverage. The LED will come on every time the PIR is triggered.

Normal link.

This link setting is the standard setting for normal operation. This setting gives the PIR maximum battery life as it activates the four minute sleep time.

Program link.

Program mode should only be needed if a new 16 bit code (random or fixed) needs to be entered.

1\0\R Pins.

Doc I D . 100-106 PRO GRAM M ANUAL.DOC

These pins are used to either program a fixed code (multiple devices with the same code) or to generate a random code.

Range link.

The range link is a means of setting the level of Infra-red energy required to generate a pulse from the detector, this in turn dir ectly affects the range of the detector. The correct setting will depend on the size of the area to cover.

- With the range link ‘ON’ the detector will detect to the full 12m x 12m.

- With the range link removed the detector will detect to approximately 8m x 8m. The range link should always be set to the lowest setting which will still provide good coverage.

Pulse Count link.

At times it may be unavoidable to install the detector in a difficult environment. Pulse count is a means of adjusting the n u mber of puls es received (ther efore the number of st ep s ) befor e an alarm is generated.

- In a normal stable environment the link should be ‘ON’. 1 to 2 pulses will cause an alarm.

- In doubtful environments remove the link. 3 to 4 pulses will cause an alarm.

6.3.1 Radio Reed Switch

The Ness radio reed switch is a multipurpose radio device. It has an internal reed switch and has the provision for an external reed switch. It can also function as a radio vibration analyser if a Nessensor (VIB100) is connected to the external device in p u t. A 9 volt lithium battery powers the reed switch and should last approximately 3 years (@25 activation’s per day).

Terminals a nd Link Setting s:

Two way terminal block (TB1)

The terminal block is used to connect a normally closed reed switch or a Nessensor (VIB100). The cable length to the external switch should be kept to a minimum and no longer than 40 cm.

I\B\E Pins:

Link in ‘I-B’ position.

Only the internal reed switch controls the transmitter. External devices are disabled.

I\B\E Link REMOVED.

Both the internal reed switch and the external device are connected in series with the transmitter.

Link in ‘E-B’ position

Only the External device controls the transmitter. The internal reed switch is disabled.

Program link.

Program mode should only be needed if a new 16 bit code (random or fixed) needs to be entered. See the setup \ testing section on page ?? to program a fixed code into a reed switch.

1\0\R Pins.

These pins are used to either program a fixed code (multiple devices with the same code) or to generate a random code.

detection with the li nk ‘ON’ or ‘ OFF’. Always remember to h ave the link on so it can communi cate with the Securi tyguar d.

Tamper Button.

When the plastic housing is lifted a tamper alarm message is sent. A low level warning will sound in disarm or home mode. A full alarm will sound if in armed state.

Sensitivity Control ( VR1 )

The sensitivity control is used to adjust the sensitivity of the vibration sensor (Nessensor). This control (Low = full anti-clock wise, High = full clock wise) can be used in conjunction with the sensitivity settings on the Nessensor itsel f. (High, Medium, Low) If a vibration sensor is not used have the sensitivity set to low. (full anti-clock wise)

Important: Care should be taken when handling the circuit board as the reed switch is quite fragile. Incorrect handling may damage the vacuum seal of the reed and cause short and long term intermittent oper a t i on.

7. DIALLER

The dialler will report alarms to a monitoring center and is also capable of remotely programming the Medi Alarm via a modem link.

7.1 REMOTE PROGRAMMING

The Medi Alarm may be remotely programmed via a telephone modem link. Remote programming is enabled when in Medi Alarm is in program mode and may be enabled in ‘NORMAL’ mode by setting the program option.

Medi Alarm may be installed in parallel with answering machines, faxes etc. which will all answer the phone. Medi Alarm uses an an swering technique called fax defeat. Fax defeat is done by calling the panel, hanging up and calling back. The panel will answer the phone as soon as the call back ring is detected .

All program options may be remotely programmed. Medi Alarm will remain on line for 4 minutes while communicating with modem. This ensures

communication failures will not leave Medi Alarm in program mode.

7.2 ALARM REPORTING

This reporting is used to transmit alarms from a subscriber’s site to a monitoring center via the telephone. There are 2 phone numbers, a primary number ‘N’ and a secondary number ‘n’. Reports are usually sent on

the primary number but if the dialler is unsuccessful in connecting, it will dial the secondary number. Telephone numbers ‘N’ and ‘n’ must be programmed into the Medi Alarm’s memory.

A client account number is allocated by the monitoring company to identify the customer. The client account number must be programmed into the Medi Alarm’s memory.

Time till first test call option allows test calls to be sent to monitoring during non peak periods (usually at night.) This time is only used when exiting program mode. The first test call is made in the time specified by program option ‘TIME TO FIRST TEST CALL’. All test calls are then made at intervals specified by program option ‘TEST CALL TIME’. ‘TIME TO FIRST TEST CALL’ option should be programmed.

The dialler reports alarms to a central monitoring station in Ademco High Speed format. New alarms in itiate a dial out report. Alarms are deemed to be restored when the ‘CANCEL’ button on the

Medi Alarm is pressed.

7.3 ADEMCO HIGH SPEED EXTENDED REPORTING

This reporting is used to transmit alarms from a subscriber’s site to a central monitoring station via the telephone.

The transmission is done using DTMF tones. 14 digits are sent to report an alarm. The format is as follows:

SSSS QQQQQQQQ T E SSSS

4 digit subscriber ID

Event qualifier (8 Channels)

Channels 1-8 indicate the status of the 8 reporting channels. Each channel may have the following values: 1 - New alarm 3 - Restore 5 - Normal 6 - Previously reported event

Channel 9 indicates the type of event.

Channel 9 may have the following values: 1 - Extra Alarms 5 - Zone Trouble 6 - System Alarm s 7 - Zone Alarm 9 - Test

Therefore, channel 9 determi ne what channels 1-8 mean.
