THE PERS-2400B (Brochure)

Linear has built a lot of capability into the PERS-2400B, a 24-hour personal emergency reporting system. It is a flexible emergency, fire, and inactivity reporting package, but can also be custom programmed to work with and report individual emergency alarms for up to 16 users.

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 fire alarm can be triggered by wireless Model DXS-73 smoke alarms. The carbon monoxide alarm can be triggered by wireless Model DXS-80 carbon monoxide detectors.

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).

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

Fire or smoke

In the presence of fire or smoke, optional smoke detectors will initiate an automatic fire alarm call to the Emergency Monitoring Center. Warning tones will be sounded by the console and the smoke detector to alert you, even if you are sleeping.

Simple to operate

Activating the system couldn’t be simpler or more reliable. You keep a wireless transmitter with you at all times. In the event of an at-home emergency – you press the alarm button to signal the console to automatically call the Emergency Monitoring Center, staffed by trained professionals 24 hours a day. When these operators receive your call, they notify the key people whom you preselected to respond in specific situations: family members, neighbors, friends, or appropriate rescue personnel.

Waterproof 1-Button Wrist-Pendant Transmitter DXS-62

The Model DXS-62 Supervised 1-Button, 1-Channel Pendant/Wristband Transmitter is a battery powered, miniature, water-resistant, supervised transmitter designed for use in emergency applications with Linear’s DX and DXS Format receivers. Each is supplied with a wristband, a pocket clip, and a Nylon pendant necklace. Pressing buttons on either transmitter sends a digital coded wireless signal to its companion receiver. To insure sending a complete signal, press the transmitter button for a minimum of two seconds.

Each DXS transmitter is factory set to a unique code, so no field coding is required. The one-button DXS-62 sends a signal when its button is pressed. This transmitter can send a signal for up to 30 seconds per activation. The red signal indicator on the transmitter lights and a built-in sounder beeps when the unit is activated.

If status transmissions are enabled, they will be sent every two hours. Some receivers are able to use these signals, others are not.

Every two hours the transmitter tests for a low battery. This test takes place even if status transmissions have not been enabled. If the battery tests low, the transmitter sounder will beep and a low battery signal will be sent.

Each transmitter is sealed to provide water-resistance. The unit’s battery is not replaceable. The transmitter should be discarded at the end of its battery life.
