1. THE DVS-1200 SECURITY SYSTEM
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 five 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, the
system’s mode, 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, fire 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 identification
of the event.
The optional Models VB-2 or VB-3 digital voice synthesis
modules 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 human voice prompts from the Console’s speaker,
and voice prompted remote system control using in-house
or off-site pushbutton telephones. The economy Model
VB-3 is the same as the VB-2 without 2-way Central Station
audio capability.
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 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 flow detectors, over/under temperature sensors,
flood sensors, toxic gas detectors, 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 (A)
key and transmitters can control the Automation Output.
The Console can be programmed locally using its own
keypad, or remotely, 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.
