Emergency Calls For Help; Remote Control By Telephone; Two-Way Voice Communication - Visonic PowerMax User Manual

IMPORTANT! In addition, you may provide the person
confined to interiors with a single-button transmitter for
distress situations - see Para. 6.2.

6.2 Emergency Calls for Help

used in UL-listed systems)
Suppose the incapacitated person discussed in Para. 6.1
above has an accident such as falling in the bathtub
without being able to get up. It might take hours before the
"No Active" alert is sent out, but he (or she) must be
assisted much sooner.
Even though the odds for such an accident are not high, it
is advisable to provide the disabled person with a
miniature, single-button pendant-type or wristwatch-type
transmitter. Pressing the button on this transmitter will
cause the PowerMax to send an "emergency call" to the
central monitoring station or to private telephones
designated by the installer.
To make this possible, ask your installer to define one of
the 29 zones of the PowerMax as an emergency zone,
obtain for you one of the transmitters listed below and link
this transmitter's ID code to the emergency zone.
Compatible distress transmitters are (see Fig. 5):
MCT-201 - pendant-type (not listed by UL)
MCT-211 - wristwatch-type (not listed by UL)
MCT-101 - pocket-type (not listed by UL)

6.3 Remote Control by Telephone

The PowerMax is designed to respond to your commands
at "intimate" range (via the built-in keypad), at short range
(via your key-ring transmitter) and at long range (via the
public telephone network). Accessing the PowerMax from
a remote telephone will allow you to perform a large variety
of operations, as listed in sub-paragraph B below.
A. Establishing Telephone Communication with
your PowerMax Control Panel
When you are away from the protected premises, all you
need is a regular telephone set or a cellular telephone to
remain in control. Be advised, though, that every action
performed via a remote telephone requires a valid user
code - to prevent unauthorized access to the system.
To contact the PowerMax, proceed as follows:
• Dial the telephone number used by your system, allow
the telephone to ring 2 - 4 times and then hang up.
• • • • Wait at least 12 seconds (but not more than 30 seconds)
after hanging up and redial the number. This time the
PowerMax will intercept your call - a shrill signal will
sound for 10 seconds. Press the [ ] key to stop the
signal.
Note: The PowerMax will respond in a similar way if you
dial just once and wait until the telephone rings 11 times.
• You may now command your system (see B below).
Attention! If you linger more than 50 seconds without
keying a command, the Powermax will disengage the line.
B. Executable Commands
Attention! For security reasons, every command in the
following list is preceded by an asterisk [ ] and a valid
user code [

6.4 Two-Way Voice Communication

(not to be used in UL-listed systems)
After establishing communication with the PowerMax from
a remote telephone (see 6.3 A above), you may initiate a
conversation with the person left within the residence by
keying the following sequence on your telephone keypad:
[
[ ] ] [7] [3]
The system will start to function in the "LISTEN IN" mode,
letting you hear the sounds within your residence for 50
seconds. If the person under surveillance happens to speak
or cry then, you will hear this. However, to hold a two-way
conversation, you must switch the system manually from
Listen-In to Speak Out and back, as shown below:
For Function:
Listen-in (listening to the person at home)
Speak-out (speaking to the person at home)
Note: To prolong the communication session by 50
seconds, press [3] or [1] again, as required.
Unlike regular telephone conversations, in which you can
interject a few words while the other party speaks, this
system allows one way speech at a time. Back and forth
exchange of uninterrupted speech between two parties is
a method normally used in military, commercial and
amateur radio communication. Once you finish talking
you should say "Go Ahead" or "Over" and then switch
from speak-out to listen in. When the person at home
finishes talking he should also say "Over", as a cue to
you to switch back from Listen-in to speak out.
EXAMPLE:
You (at remote telephone):
you hear me? Are you in any trouble? Over".....
Person at home: "Yes, I am. I had a dizzy spell while
trying to get out of bed and fell on the floor. I am unable to
get up and my thigh hurts. Can you help me? Over"...
You (at remote telephone):
someone right away, stay put - over".....
Person at home: "Thanks, please hurry, over.".
