1. Introduction VCP-LTE is an AC-powered Emergency Voice Call Point, having one button that can be used to activate alarm and report events via Speech, SMS and IP (Mobile Network) protocols to directly communicate with the monitoring center. The medical alarm system can integrate with multiple devices/sensors: Wrist Transmitter, Emergency Pendant, Fall Sensor, PIR Motion Sensor, Panic Button, Smoke Detector, Water Leakage Sensor, and CO Sensors, etc.
2. Application Overview 2.1. Parts Identification 1. ALARM Button 2. LED Indicator (Red) Flashes once every 2 seconds: Low Battery. Flashes once every 5 seconds: GSM fault. 3. LED Indicator (Green) Light on: AC Power on. Flashes once every 5 seconds: AC Fail. 4.
AC failure, the Voice Call Point will make AC fail report. Backup Battery In addition to the AC power adapter, a rechargeable battery is installed inside VCP-LTE to serve as a backup in case of a power failure. -During normal operation, the AC power adapter is used to supply power to VCP-LTE and at the same time recharge the battery.
Do not insert a SIM card with a SIM card adapter or it will cause damage to the SIM card and its holder. 3.2. Mounting The VCP-LTE can be mounted on the wall or deployed on a flat surface. Wall Mounting Ensure VCP-LTE is fitted at approximately chest height where the button can be easily accessed and operated.
