maintained on an annual basis. NFPA 72 specifies the method required as "verify location and
condition".
As such, the following guidelines are highly recommended:
•
An annual inspection and testing be scheduled as part of the facility/building preventative
maintenance schedule.
•
Each AOR-CSE Station should be inspected and tested.
•
The Command Unit should be inspected and tested.
•
Verify the condition of the backup batteries and replace if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. If I have more than one Command Unit can each one be connected to same PSTN/POTS
telephone line?
Because an Area of Rescue system is considered a life safety system, each bank of eight (8)
AOR-CSE Stations requires a dedicated telephone line.
2. Can I reset the programming on the Command Unit?
If you have forgotten your access code, you may reset the programming on that particular
controller board to factory default by first entering the Master Access Code: *30*12345678*
Then enter the factory default code: *30*14725836*
After the factory reset has been completed, you will need to reprogram the controller board.
NOTE: You will NOT have to reprogram the individual AOR-CSE Stations.
3. Does the Command Unit controller board retain its programming if there is complete
power loss?
Yes, memory is non-volatile and does not require a backup battery.

Yes, they are line-powered by the Command Unit.
5. Is the ETP-500 Series Analog Call Station compatible with the Command Unit?

number or local mode (i.e. mixed mode is NOT supported). In remote mode, a secondary
phone number NOT supported.
