About the Universal Voice System (UVS)
Congratulations on your ownership of an ADEMCO Universal Voice
System (UVS). The ADEMCO UVS is comprised of a Universal Voice
Control Module (UVCM or UVCM–EU/A) and Universal Voice Station
(UVST).
The the UVCM or UVCM–EU/A, along with stations, comprise an
audio system that offers central station 2-way voice, user 2-way voice,
intercom, speakerphone, and alarm annunciation features. The
UVCM or UVCM–EU/A serves as a central audio controller. It
establishes audio signal pathways between the incoming telephone
line and stations, or between individual stations, based on the feature
being used.
The stations serve as the user interface. Each has a built-in
microphone and speaker that send audio signals to and receive audio
signals from the system. Each station has three keys, two LEDs, and
a volume control dial for controlling system operation and for
annunciating system status.
Depending on your specific installation, your Universal Voice System
may have up to 7 stations installed. These stations will have been
installed at various locations inside your premises; however, up to
two stations may have been installed outside your premises near the
front and/or back door. Stations that are installed inside your
premises are referred to as inside stations, and support all features.
Stations that are installed outside your premises are referred to as
outside stations. These stations support limited intercom, central
station, and user 2-way voice features.

2-Way Voice Operation (Central Station)
If programmed, this feature allows a central station operator to listen
and/or talk to individuals at the premises via the stations following
receipt of an alarm report from the premise’s alarm system. This
helps to prevent false alarms and in cases of an actual alarm, allows
the operator to gather information about the nature and locations of
the alarm that may be helpful to the responding fire, police, or rescue
agencies. This feature works in conjunction with the premises alarm
system and is controlled by the central station operator; it does not
require any intervention by you.

access code to listen and/or talk to individuals on the premises after
first calling the premises and then entering the access code from a
TouchTone (multi-frequency) telephone keypad.
Modes
The system provides three 2-way voice-operating modes that you can
select via telephone key presses.
