CONSOLE
The DVS-1200 Console is the heart of the system. It monitors all
of the system’s wireless sensors and controls the alarm sirens.
The Console constantly monitors the condition of the system’s
sensors, displaying which protected doors and windows are
open or closed. If an alarm occurs, the Console displays which
sensor(s) caused it. When a sensor has a low battery, the Console
displays which sensor needs a new battery. Sensors that send
hourly status transmissions keep the Console informed of their
operating condition.
Up to eight different custom user codes can be used to operate
the system. For security, a user code must be entered to disarm
(turn off) the system. The system can be armed (turned on) by
entering a user code, or with the unique “Quick Arm” feature. The
fi ve restricted user codes and the special page alert user code
can only arm and disarm the system, no programming changes
are allowed. The master user code is allowed to program the
Console, and a duress code can be selected for emergency
disarming of the system with a duress report to the Central
Station. The page alert user code can dial a pager number to
inform the pager wearer when the Console is disarmed.
The Console’s memory will retain the user codes and all of
the system’s programming, even during a total power loss. An
optional backup battery can be installed to power the system
during short power failures.
The built-in digital communicator connects the Console to a
Central Alarm Monitoring Station through the telephone. With a
monitored system, the central station can dispatch authorities in
case of burglary, fi re or other emergency. The central station can
also call family, friends, neighbors, or anyone else designated on
a custom call list.
Each sensor can report directly to the Central Station using the
digital communicator’s Point ID feature. If a sensor triggers an
alarm or experiences supervisory trouble, a unique report code
can be sent for immediate identifi cation of the event.
The optional Model VB-2 digital voice synthesis module can
be installed in the Console. The VB-2 module provides three
exciting features: 2-way audio monitoring capability at the Central
Station through the communicator, local voice prompts from the
Console’s speaker, and voice prompted remote system control
using in-house or off-site pushbutton telephones.
The Console has 24-hour capabilities that are always ready
to operate, even when the Console is disarmed. They can be
triggered by buttons on the Console, the Wireless Keypad,
portable remote controls, carbon monoxide detectors, and
smoke detectors. Pressing the EMERGENCY or FIRE button for
two seconds will cause an immediate siren and call the central
station. IMPORTANT: For personal emergency use only. Not
for use as a UL Listed Medical Alert System.
The Console’s Environmental Zone is a 24-hour zone that can
be triggered with sensors connected to devices such as water
fl ow detectors, over/under temperature sensors, fl ood sensors,
etc. The Environmental Zone activates the chime annunciator
without sounding the siren. The Environmental Zone does not
send communicator reports.
An Automation Output in the Console provides an easy way
to connect external devices to the Console. The output is fully
programmable to activate on a variety of conditions, such as
when the system is armed, during alarms, and during exit/entry
delays. The Automation Output can connect to lighting control
modules, relays, noisemakers, and indicators. The Console’s
and wireless keypad’s
key and transmitters can control the
Automation Output.
The Console can be programmed locally using its own keypad
or remotely, over the telephone, using Linear’s Model RA-2400
Remote Access software program. The RA-2400 upload/
download program is a Windows
® application that runs on a
personal computer and communicates with the Console through
a modem connected directly to the Console, or through the
telephone line.
A total of 12 sensors of the types listed on the next page can
be used with each DVS-1200 Console. Each burglary sensor
can trigger the siren (and report to the Central Station) once
per arming cycle. 24-hour sensors have unlimited alarm and
reporting capacity.
