1. INTRODUCTION
EasyAlarm®is an easy to use and reliable auto-dialler including announcement unit that can be used in many
ways. The most important functions are listed below. Please read the instruction manual carefully before you
start installation. Especially pay attention to the safety notes.
EasyAlarm®includes an automatic personal security transmitter. This microprocessor-controlled
transmitter is designed for use by employees in a large industrial complex (as an industrial signalling de-
vice for safety). In areas that one person is not allowed to work alone. It can also be used for elderly people
or patients who live alone at home.
EasyAlarm®calls automatically, when the emergency button is pressed. Up to three calling numbers can
be stored. In case of an alarm these numbers will be called one after another until someone acknowledges
the alarm.
EasyAlarm®puts in contact. After the individual recorded message has been announced a hands-free
communication is established and the alarmed person is in immediate contact with the person seeking assis-
tance and can take appropriate action!
EasyAlarm®provides security. An authorised person can start a check call (dialling-in using PIN-Code)
at any time. Connection can be established in two ways (listening-in or hands-free connection).
EasyAlarm®is simple. All you have to do is to program the calling numbers and connect the alarm unit
to the telephone line and power supply.
EasyAlarm®monitors for noise activity. An alarm can be triggered, if the selected noise level in the
monitored room exceeds several times. The alarm is passed on without any indication to the person inside
the monitored room => listening-in connection (acoustical monitoring of patient/baby/children or home-
security application). If necessary a hands-free communication can be established.
EasyAlarm®is remote programmable. An authorised person can re-program the calling numbers and
the calling number sequence during phone connection.

4. Enter new calling number. To delete an existing number enter *and proceed with step 5
5. Slide function switch to OFF
Notes:
Every keystroke will be acknowledged by a beep
Key #.programmes a dialling delay of 5 seconds, provided it is entered between two digits, e.g. a delay is
essential in a private exchange (first digit + #.+ calling number).
If your private exchange needs a flash pulse to start an internal call, following programming is possible:
2.#.followed by the extension number.
Key *.is used as separator for Point-ID protocol section 6.1.1.
If a programming error occurs, put function switch to OFF and repeat point 1 to 5.
Important notes:
Calling number 1 cannot be deleted due to safety reasons.
6.1.1 Point-ID (Contact-ID) alarm protocol
If the alarm should be transferred to a alarm organisation using the Point-ID (Contact-ID) protocol, the alarm
number has to be followed by key *and the customer-ID. EasyAlarm forwards the protocol to this alarm
number and connects hereafter to the following calling number in standard hands-free connection mode
Alarm number Customer-ID
074567890 34567
Example for programming the calling number: 074567890*3456.
Note:
The first character *, that follows the alarm number will not be transmitted (=> separator). The customer
ID is a four digit code. In case of an alarm the following codes are transmitted according to the <Alarm
