the console.
•The maximum duration for an incoming phone
call is 60 minutes (See Command 54). A timer
will start after the system establishes a two-way
voice communication.
•The console will disconnect the call when the
timer expires. During the call, the console will
emit a beep to indicate when there is 20
seconds and another beep when there is 10
seconds left on the timer. The call can be
extended for duration set by (Command 54) by
having the caller press any DTMF key (except 9)
on their handset.

their handset.
2.2 AC Power Fault / Restore & Reporting
•In the event of a power failure, the console’s
GREEN power LED will flash until the power is
restored representing a visual warning for the
user.
•If the power IS restored within 1 hour, the
GREEN power LED will stop flashing, the
system will resume normal operation. No
reports will be transmitted to the Monitoring
Station.
•If the power is NOT restored within 1 hour, the
console will transmit an AC Power Fault Report
to the Monitoring Station.
•Once power has been restored, and stays on for
at least 1 hour, the console will transmit an AC
Power Restore Report to the Monitoring
Station.
2.3 Console Battery
•It can take up to 48 hours to fully charge the
battery. When the battery is fully charged, it
serves as a back-up power source for a period
of at least 24 hours. Once the battery is fully
charged, it will continuously check its battery
status.
•In the event the STATUS LED begins to flash
AMBER, this will indicate a console battery
low/failure. The console will transmit a Low
Battery Console report (See Section 4.0) every
24 hours to the Monitoring Station.
•Once the battery voltage is restored, the console
will transmit a Battery Restore report to the
Monitoring Station and the STATUS LED will
stop flashing.If the STATUS LED continues to
flash, this indicates battery failure.
2.4 Pendant / Smoke Detector / Other Devices
Low Battery
•If the console receives a low battery signal from
any learned wireless pendants / detectors /
devices, the console will transmit a
corresponding low battery report to the
Monitoring Station.
•The console will transmit a new report every 24
hours as long as the condition exists. The
STATUS LED will illuminate until the fault
condition is cleared. (See Section 1.4 for LED
Reporting Chart)
•When a faulty battery is replaced the console
will transmit a Battery Restore report to the
Monitoring Station for that particular device.
IMPORTANT:Portable devices such as a
pendant must be within the RF range for the console
to receive the low battery signal and report the event
to the Monitoring Station.
