PERS Console Operating Modes

Your PERS Console operates in three operating “modes”. Each mode sets the Console to act differently to match your lifestyle at different times of the day.

In any of the three modes, the Console is always ready to report an emergency if you press the HELP button or activate one of your portable emergency sensors.

Home Mode

Home Mode is for when you are at home during the day. In Home Mode, the Console knows if your emergency sensors are present and ready to use. If a sensor does not regularly report to the Console, a trouble report can be sent to your monitoring service.

Away Mode

Away Mode is for when you are going to be away from home. In Away Mode, the Console knows that your portable emergency sensors might be away from the Console and will abstain from reporting any sensors that are missing. Console announcements are also suppressed in Away Mode.

Night Mode

Night Mode is for nighttime when you are sleeping or do not wish to be disturbed. In Night Mode, Console operates the same as in Home Mode except that announcements are suppressed.

In Case of Emergency

If you need assistance, place a call to the monitoring service by pressing the HELP button on the Console or by activating one of your portable emergency sensors.

Remember, the portable emergency sensors send radio signals to the Console, and there is a limit to the maximum distance from the Console that the portable emergency sensors can be used.

Do not press Cancel before talking to the monitoring service dispatcher or your emergency call may be canceled.

The Console will announce “Emergency call being placed”. When your monitoring service receives the call, they will verify the nature of your emergency and dispatch help for you. If the Console’s 2-way communications are active, the Console will announce “Emergency reported, please stand by”. The monitoring service can talk and listen to you to through the Console.

PERS Console Special Features

In addition to the three operating modes, your PERS Console contains several special features that can be turned on or off by your monitoring service.

Activity Timer

When the activity timer is on, you will need to press the Home button or activate a special sensor every day to prevent an automatic alarm from triggering. Your monitoring service can set one or two time periods that will be available to you to reset the activity timer. The activity timer is always off in Away Mode or Night Mode.

Activity time period #1: ___:___ AM or PM to ___:___ AM or PM

Activity time period #2: ___:___ AM or PM to ___:___ AM or PM

Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detection

For increased protection, wireless smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can be setup as sensors with your PERS Console. In case of a dangerous ﬁ re or gas event, the sensor will sound its alarm and the Console’s alarm, which can be reported to the monitoring service.

Speakerphone Mode

The Console can be set up to work as a hands-free speakerphone for incoming calls. Pressing the HELP button or activating an emergency sensor while the telephone is ringing will answer the call. Pressing HELP or activating an emergency sensor during the call will disconnect the caller.

Remote Call-in Speakerphone Mode

The Console can be set up to answer the phone and start the speakerphone automatically after the caller enters a 4-digit password. The caller can talk and listen to you through the Console’s speaker and microphone.

PERS Console Alarm Priorities

Each type of alarm is assigned a priority. Higher priority alarms override lower priority alarms. Smoke alarms (on/off horn sound) have the highest priority, followed by carbon monoxide alarms (on/off buzz sound), emergency alarms (3 beeps sound), then other types of maintenance indications (various sounds).
