Introduction
U922 comes as either a speech transceiver, for use in the teleCOURIER 900 radio
paging system, or an alarm transceiver, for use in the telePROTECT 900 alarm
system.
Transmission of speech and alarm is made in the UHF 425-475 or the VHF 140-175
MHz range. Paging and speech is received in the UHF 425-475 MHz range. The
speech transceiver can transmit and receive voice as well as text messages, allow-
ing both mobile-to-central and mobile-to-mobile calls. The alarm transceiver can, in
addition to the functions of the speech transceivers, transmit different alarms. It
can also receive an acknowledgement paging confirming that the alarm has been
received.
The alarm transceiver can be equipped with a location receiver that stores the
location code transmitted by fixed LF or IR Locators. When an alarm is sent, the
location codes are also sent by the transceiver to the alarm central. Another
security function is that the alarm transceiver can be supervised continuously.
All transceivers, except those with a LF receiver, vibrator and one-way speech
transceivers without acknowledge are available in intrinsically safe versions that
comply with classification EEx ib IIC T4. The unit is water resistant according to
IP64.
U922 Versions
The U922 transceiver comes in the following basic versions:
•Alarm transceiver with no-speech and 6-button keypad.
•Speech/Alarm transceiver with one-way speech and 6-button keypad.
•Speech/Alarm transceiver with two-way speech and full keypad.

Alarm Functions
Alarms can be generated manually and automatically from U922 alarm transceiv-
ers. At alarm activation, a code is sent to the alarm central with information on the
transceiver identity, alarm type and, if available, location information. An error
alarm is presented if the radio connection is interrupted or if the transceiver ceases
to function. An alarm can also generate pagings to other mobile transceivers/
receivers in the system. For example, the transceiver can be part of a pre-defined
group consisting of a number of selected work groups equipped with U922 units.
The code format of the telePROTECT 900 personal security system is compatible
with the teleCOURIER 900 paging system which means that functions and units
from the two systems can be integrated with each other.
Push-button Alarm
Two or more short presses on the red alarm-button activate an alarm that is sent
to the central equipment. When the alarm is transmitted,
the red LED on the top of the transmitter flashes
and the text “ALARM“ appears in the display.
The alarm is transmitted silently, unless the
Acoustic Location Signal (ALS) is activated.
If a system is programmed for technical alarm,
the text “ALARM“ will remain until the central
equipment has received the alarm and an
automatic acknowledgement is sent to the pocket
unit. If no acknowledgement occurs, the transceiver
will repeat the alarm transmission automatically until
an acknowledgment is received. This applies to all alarm types.
Test/Assistance Alarm
A press of longer than one second activates a test alarm that does not lead to any
alarm measures. If the test alarm is not presented by the central equipment or if an
error is indicated, another test alarm must be sent. If the test alarm is still not
presented or the error indication remains, the transmitter must be sent to the
supplier for service. To check the alarm transmitter and the system, a test alarm
should be activated every day. The test alarm can also be reprogrammed and used
as assistance alarm.
Pull-Cord Alarm (option)
A pull cord alarm is activated by snatching
away a catch that is mounted at the
bottom of the transceiver. The catch is
fastened with a cord to a clip. The clip can
be fastened to a belt or pocket or other
article of clothing. If someone tries to
snatch the transceiver away from the user
the catch releases and the alarm is
activated.
NOTE: Make sure that the clip of the Pull-cord is
firmly attached, for instance at your belt.
NOTE: To remove the Pull-cord without triggering
an alarm, the Pull-cord alarm must be turned off.

Man-Down Alarm (option)
The U922 can be equipped with an tilt sensor. If the user falls down or if the alarm
transmitter is tilted more than 60º, a warning tone is heard after 7 seconds. The
alarm can be interrupted by pressing the OK-button or by moving the transceiver
to an upright position again. If the alarm is not interrupted, a two-tone localisation
signal is generated confirming that the alarm has been sent. When the warning
signal is heard, the alarm can be delayed for ten minutes by pressing the
OK-button.
Note: The transceiver can either have a man-down alarm option or a no-
movement alarm option, not both.
No-Movement Alarm (option)
The alarm transceiver can be equipped with a sensor for no-movement alarms. The
no-movement alarm is activated if the transceiver has not been moved within a
preset time period. Before the alarm is transmitted, a warning signal continuously
sounds. If the unit has not moved during this time, the warning signal sounds and
an alarm is transmitted. To prevent the alarm transmission, move the unit or press
the OK-button, while the warning signal is heard.
Note: The transceiver can either have a man-down alarm option or a no-
movement alarm option, not both.
External Alarm (option)
The U922 can be ordered with an external alarm input. It is located at the bottom
of the cover on the battery pack. The alarm can be programmed for an opening or
closing function. The input is intended for connection to any kind of external alarm
device, for example a gas or smoke detector.
Alarms are normally
generated by connect-
ing the input to
ground (< 5 kohm ).

Man-down/No-movement alarm
Press and hold the hot-key number 1 to set the Man-down alarm or No-movement
alarm. Press OK to toggle between On/Off. When the alarm function is switched
on, the hot-key number is displayed in the display window.
Pull-cord alarm
Attach the Pull-cord to the alarm transceiver. Press and hold the hot-key number 2

tion is switched on, the hot-key number is displayed in the display window. Make
sure that the clip of the Pull-cord is safely attached. If the Pull-cord is pulled off, a
silent alarm will be transmitted.
NOTE: To remove the Pull-cord without triggering an alarm, the Pull-cord alarm
must be switched off.
Acknowledge
An Acknowledge is a response either to or from the transceiver. It indicates that
the message or alarm has been received and processed. When a transceiver has
sent an alarm, it can receive an acknowledgement from the fixed equipment
confirming that the alarm has been acknowledged by someone. This is called
Technical Acknowledge. The response is sent as a paging. The paging is generated
manually or automatically via an alarm module or an alarm computer and usually
includes a text message.
A paging with a request for manual acknowledgement is indicated by the symbol
“A“ which appears at the bottom of the display. The symbol remains until the OK
button is pressed. When it is pressed, an acknowledge response is sent to the fixed
equipment.
Supervision
The telePROTECT 900 software application PCPRO has an automatic supervision
function to check the transceivers. A paging is transmitted at regular intervals. The
paging contains a request for automatic acknowledgement from the transceivers,
but it is not presented for the user. If a transceiver does not respond to the paging
within a preset time, this will be presented as a system alarm. If the transceiver is
equipped with a location receiver, its latest known location can be presented as
well.
In addition to the supervision function, the system can be programmed to perform
a self check as follows: The user is requested to send a test alarm when the trans-
ceiver is taken out of the charging rack. If he does not, he will receive a second
request from the system as a paging. If the request does not reach the transceiver,
or the user still does not activate a test alarm, this will be registered as a system
error by PCPRO.

Location Function
IR and LF location
An alarm transceiver equipped with a location code receiver continuously receives
location codes that are sent out via IR light or LF magnetic field from fixed locators
in the system. The location codes are stored in the alarm transceiver and sent with
the alarm when it is activated. On the alarm computer, the transceiver's two latest
locations and direction of movement can be seen. The direction of movement and
speed can be determined by using the unit's last two location codes and the time
elapsed between them.
The pocket unit can also be used to test the fixed locators. The unit is then set to
indicate with beep and LED signals that a location code has been received. See also
the section Pocket Unit Programmer.
NOTE: The IR-receiver is situated
underneath the coloured transparent
plastic top. A transceiver with an
IR-receiver must always be carried visibly,
never covered!
Manual Location
If the function of the OK button is set to "Store", it is possible to store a manual
location. Enter the manual location code with the number keys. Press the Step-key
until "Store" is displayed and then press OK. The number can be recalled/displayed
by pressing a number key and then press the Step-key until "Recall" is displayed.
Press OK to recall the code.
The manual location code will be stored and sent with the alarm until a location
code that does not exist is entered, even if new IR- or LF location codes are re-
ceived.
Special Location
If the fixed locators are set to send a Special Location code, the pocket unit can
send an alarm directly after it has received the code. See also the section Pocket
Unit Programmer.

Special Functions
Memo Function
The memo function is a storage function for text messages. All messages received
are stored in the pocket unit's memory. If the memo function is activated, the
pagings in the memory will be kept when the pocket unit is turned off. The mes-
sages are erased manually or automatically according to the FIFO principle (First In
First Out). However, if the battery is removed or completely discharged, the stored
messages will be erased.
Watchdog Function
The transceiver has a so-called watchdog function. It is an internal hardware and
software function check that is executed at fixed time intervals.
INFO Page Message
An INFO-page contains information that is updated frequently, such as measure-
ments in a production process, exchange rates, stock market notations, etc. An
INFO-page can, for example, be sent from a PC via a serial interface. U922 can
receive one info-page per call number i.e. altogether six. When an info-page is
displayed the symbol appears. By selecting the beep code, it is possible to
choose if the transceiver shall beep or not when an info message is received.
Call-Number Presentation
If a paging has been received on one of the
five extra call numbers, U922 can show which
number received the paging. The call number
is shown at the end of the message preceded
by the symbol +. The symbol and number
information are added by the pocket unit.
Example of Call-Number Presentation
Call Diversion
A paging can be directed to another pocket
unit via the central unit of the system. This is
indicated in the display by showing the call number
of the pocket unit that the call was directed from at
the end of the message, preceded by the symbol /.
The symbol and number information are added by
the system.
Example of Call diversion
Out of Range
This is a warning function that checks that the pocket unit is within the coverage
area. A special test paging is sent from the central unit at regular intervals. If the
test paging has not been received by the pocket unit within a preset time, the
symbol appears in the window. The function is selected in Pocket Unit Programmer
and the time interval can be set from 5 to 75 minutes.
Error Indication
If the symbol appears in the window, the transceiver may be out of range. If
the symbol does not disappear when the transceiver is brought back into the
coverage area, the transceiver must be sent to the dealer for service.

U922 is available in an intrinsically safe version that complies with classification EEx
ib IIC T4. For the user this means that the battery cover is locked with Allen-head
or Torx screws that require special tools so that these units are to be opened by
authorized personnel only. EX approved transmitters are marked with information
by classification category, approving authority and a classification number. The
marking is engraved on the cover so that it cannot be removed or erased.
To use EX approved alarm transmitters certain regulations must be considered. See
the document General Description - Apparatus for Potentially Explosive Atmos-
pheres (EX), doc. no. TD90842GB.

Power Supply
Battery Pack
U922 is powered by a battery pack
that includes two Ni-MH accumula-
tors. The battery pack is
fastened with two screws. The
battery pack normally lasts 2-5 days,
but can last less. This depending on
which functions that are activated in
the transceiver, the number of
pagings and the length of the calls.

Battery pack
Charging Rack and Desktop Charger
When a low battery warning is displayed,
the battery pack must be recharged as
soon as possible. If the battery is
completely discharged, it can be
damaged. The battery pack is recharged
by placing the pocket unit in the
T962M/T962E charging rack or the
desktop charger T963. T962M/E Charging Rack
Charging takes about one hour. To place
the transceiver in the charging rack, open the
clip and put it into the slot on the rack.
When the unit is placed in a desktop charger,
the green LED on the charger indicates a fully
charged battery. In a charging rack, a steady
LED on the U922 indicates a fully charged battery. T963 Desktop Charger
The unit should be charged every 24 hours. Keep the unit in the charger when not
in use. If the rack is connected to the system bus, the system can give an automatic
absence indication when the transceiver is in the charging rack. The absent can be
indicated in the unit that initiated the paging (for example a control keyboard in
the teleCOURIER 900 paging system).
Antenna Replacement
U922 has an external rubber antenna.
The antenna can be easily replaced
by unscrewing it with the fingers.

For System Administrators
The system administrator uses the software application Pocket Unit Programmer,
included in the software package Win900 Base Kit, to facilitate programming and
for administration of pocket units. See section Pocket Unit Programmer below. For
example, some functions can be open to the user and others locked.
Programming the 922
The parameter memory consists of an EEPROM (SIM-card). The transceiver can be
programmed in the storage/charging rack via the system bus or via radio with a so-
called programming paging. See also the document Win900 User Guide, document
number TD90838 in Volume 7 “Software”. To program a transceiver in a charging
rack, the transceiver must be switched on. The transceiver is programmed from
Pocket Unit Programmer via the system bus.
The transceiver system identity and the call number can also be programmed via
radio. When the transceiver is set to the “PROGRAM“ operation mode it can
receive a programming paging that is generated from a control keyboard or a
telephone (via a PBX interface).
The transceiver memory consists
of a SIM card located behind the
battery pack.
The SIM card can easily be
removed for replacement or to
be put in another unit.
Slide the locking plate to the
right and lift the card holder to
remove the SIM card

Pocket Unit Programmer
The Pocket Unit Programmer is an Windows based software application sorted
under the software package Win900 base Kit. The Pocket Unit Programmer is used
to read, modify and set parameters in the pocket units. It is started from the Site
manager or from Pocket Units application in the Win900 base Kit. When setting
the parameters in the pocket unit, it is possible to work with a site database (Site
Database Mode) or directly with the pocket unit placed in a storage/charging rack
(Direct Mode). In Site Database Mode, the parameter settings are stored in a
database file. In Direct mode, the parameter settings are only stored in the pocket
unit. It is only available if a Win900 base kit for Service license is used.
With the Pocket Unit Programmer it possible to set:
• The unit's identity, call number and five additional call numbers
• The maximum time for not receiving an out of range check paging.
• Character set to be used in the display.
• The unit's prefix and transmitter frequency.
• Whether the call number presentation, memo function and test paging (when
the pocket unit is removed from a charging rack) is to be enabled.
• The function of the OK button when it is pressed immediately after numbers
have been entered, "Send" or "Store".
• The modes accessible in the pocket unit (Off, Silent, Set, Program, User input
and Test mode). It is also possible to set if error area should be shown at
start-up.
• Which functions the user is allowed to change in the pocket unit (Volume, Time
stamp, Additional call numbers and Remind beep).
• Number of sequences the beep and LED signal is to be signalling.
• The beep code to be used (one beep, two beeps, three tone chime, internal
telephone ring signal, external telephone ring signal, siren or same siren as the
910 receivers).
• The beep volume and if the volume should be rising by time.
• Whether the Vibrator and Remind beep should be enabled.
• Whether the time stamp function should be enabled and how it should be
presented (as 12 am/pm or 24 hours)
• The mode, information and warning texts to be used in the pocket unit.
• Which function of each hot key no. 1-6 that should be enabled (System mode
change, Speed call, Man down alarm/No movement on/off or Pull/external
alarm on/off). With the system mode change enabled it is possible to control
some system functions in the central equipment, e.g. manual absent indication.
• Whether it should be possible to initiate a speech call from the unit and if
predial or not should be used. Without predial, the first call number is transmit-
ted when initiating a call. With predial, a number can be entered that is trans-
mitted, when a call is initiated. If no number is entered, the last transmitted
number, if any, will be transmitted again. It is also possible to set if speech
transmission should be allowed during low battery.
• The maximum speech time allowed.
• The default speech volume.
