1. Introduction
The Homelink Extra and Homelink Extra II can be programmed using a
PSION Organiser II programmer. If you have not used a PSION programmer
before then read “Using the PSION Programmer”. If you are already familiar
with using the programmer on other types of Homelink then skip to the
section “The HLEXTRA Program”.
For simple programming (telephone numbers, account codes, and site
codes) you can use a DTMF phone connected to a socket under the access
panel, see “Installation and Programming” for the Homelink Extra (496758) .
If you wish to program the extra facilities that Homelink is capable of then
you should read the rest of this Introduction first.
Using Homelink as an Intruder Alarm
The user can make Homelink work as a simple intruder alarm by pressing
the green AWAY button. The user’s home must be fitted with the appropriate
sensors, for example door contacts or movement detectors. After the user
has pressed AWAY, Homelink will report any activation of these sensors as
an intruder alarm.
The sequence of events is as follows:
1. The user presses AWAY.
2. Homelink flashes the Away lamp and gives a continuous tone for a set
entry/exit time.
3. At the end of the entry/exit time the Away lamp glows steadily and
Homelink is set.
4. If any of the sensors signal an intrusion, Homelink waits the entry/exit
time and then calls the telephone number you have assigned. When
Homelink has established the alarm call it opens the speech link so that
the monitoring station can listen and check that it is not a false alarm.
Once Homelink has set up the alarm call then an intruder cannot cancel it by
pressing AWAY. If someone presses the Emergency button after Homelink
is set then Homelink will send an Emergency alarm call and go back into its
normal mode. The user can unset Homelink by pressing AWAY during the
entry/exit time.
To set up this facility correctly use the following options:
1. Switch Home & Away to "on" in the Reporting Map to assign the
telephone number Homelink must call when the user presses AWAY.
2. Use the Entry/Exit option to change the Entry/Exit Time.
3. Use the Intruder Alarm Option to give the user an audible warning that
the intruder alarm has been activated.

Page 6 496759
Reporting Mains Failure
If Homelink loses mains power it turns off the green alight in order to alert
the user. Homelink can also report silently to the monitoring centre that it has
lost mains power. To set this up correctly:
1. Switch Mains Fail "on" in the Reporting Map to select the phone
number to which Homelink should report this event.
2. Select Mains Fail Delay if you want Homelink to ignore short power
breaks. If the mains failure lasts for less than the time you have
programmed then Homelink will not report it.
Note that Homelink adds between one and 15 minutes to the time you
programmed. This is to make sure that the monitoring centre is not
flooded with calls from several Homelinks programmed with the same
delay.
3. Select Mains Fail Warning if you want an audible alarm to alert the
user.
4. Select Mains Restoral on the Reporting Map to report to the monitoring
centre that mains power has been restored.
Note that this facility only operates if Homelink is fitted with a working backup
battery. Homelink can operate for a minimum of 30 hours from a fully-
charged battery. Once mains power is restored Homelink can recharge the
battery to 90% of its capacity in 12 hours.
Reporting Low Battery
If the battery is low Homelink flashes the green alight. Homelink can also
report this event to the monitoring centre.
After sending a battery low report Homelink can still make emergency calls
for a short period. Eventually, when the battery is almost fully drained
Homelink will switch off. At this point the user can still use the telephone
attached to Homelink. The user can also press the orange Emergency
button. Homelink will power itself up for the duration of the Emergency call.
To set up low battery reporting set Low Battery to on for the appropriate
telephone number in the Reporting Map. Use the Low Battery Warning
Option if you want to give the user an audible warning when the battery is
low.
Pendant Battery Low
All the radio triggers can report when their internal battery is running low.
They send the report when they are triggered during normal use. To program
Homelink to pass these reports on to the monitoring centre switch Pendant
Battery Low on against the appropriate telephone number in the Reporting
Map .

496759 Page 7
Cancel Call (Help Arrived)
You can program Homelink to send a Cancel Call message to a monitoring
centre when a helper arrives. Set Cancel to "on" in the Reporting Map for the
appropriate telephone number to enable this facility.
When using a Homelink Extra or Homelink Extra II the carer triggers the
message by briefly moving the Privacy switch from its existing position, and
then back again within one second.
With a Homelink Extra II the helper can also trigger the message by pressing
the yellow button on the front of the unit.
Homelink bleeps once if the helper triggers the message successfully. (To
enable this feature fit a link to jumper 2, see Figure 1.)
If required, you can set up the Homelink Extra II to repeat an Emergency
Call if no one presses the Call Cancel (Help Arrived) button within 30
minutes of the original Emergency Call.
To do this you must ensure that there is a link across the jumper marked 1 in
figure below.

Figure 1. Call Cancel Jumpers
1 Emergency Call repeat timer jumper. Fit link to jumper1 to enable.
When enabled, Homelink repeats the Emergency Call message after
30 minutes if no one has pressed the Call Cancel (Help Arrived button).
This jumper is inactive if Call Cancel jumper has no link fitted.
2 Call Cancel (Help Arrived) switch enable jumper. Fit link to jumper 2 to
enable. When enabled, pressing the yellow button on the front of the
Homelink Extra II starts a Call Cancel (Help Arrived) message.
Notes: 1. Remover power from the unit before fitting or removing links to jumpers 1
or 2. Changes do not take effect until you re-apply power.
2. Do not use these functions if you are using the unit in speech mode only. If
you are then make sure there are no links fitted to jumpers 1 or 2.

Auxiliary Equipment
Homelink can be connected to a range of auxiliary equipment in order to
help the user. You may wish to provide auxiliary equipment if, for example,
the user spends a lot of time in a separate room to that containing the
Homelink unit. All auxiliary equipment connects to terminals provided behind
the access panel at the base of the unit. Figure 2 shows the connections
block in detail.
Use standard connecting cable for all the auxiliary equipment mentioned
below. Remove the knock out tabs from the access panel to route the wires
from the terminal.

Comms Format
Homelink has two main reporting types: Digital and Speech Only.
In DIGITAL reporting Homelink sends signals identifying the source of the
call and may also open a voice channel. This type of call can only be
answered by a central station possessing the correct equipment. Digital
format varies slightly depending on the manufacturer of the equipment at the
central station. Homelink can use either of two Scantronic formats:
• Use “SCANCOM” or “SCANCOM FF” if Homelink is reporting to a
monitoring station using Scantronic monitoring equipment.
• Use “SPEECH ONLY” if Homelink is reporting to a telephone set.
If you need to use any other format please contact your supplier.
In SPEECH ONLY reporting Homelink makes a phone call and plays any
recorded message it has stored (it does not try and send signals identifying
the source of the call). This format is designed for emergency calls directed
to someone who does not have special answering equipment, but may be
acting as a central station, for example a helper.
If the helper has a DTMF phone, then on receiving the call they can control
the speech channel by pressing keys on the telephone keypad.
Pressing 1 Allows the helper to listen through Homelink’s microphone.
Pressing 2 Lets the helper speak to the caller.
Pressing 3 Lets the helper replay any recorded message.
Pressing 5 Ends the call. This tells Homelink that the call was successfully
received, and it will no longer attempt to call that number.
Pressing * Toggles between talking and listening.
Pressing 0 Switches ON the Auxilliary Output Relay (if it has been
programmed for Remote Operation).

496759 Page 17
If Homelink does not receive any control signals then it ends a Speech Only
call after two minutes.
To set the communications format:
1. Start the HLEXTRA program and execute the PROGRAM command.
The display shows: ACCOUNT NO. 1
Note: If you want to change the comms format for another telephone number, press
the down arrow key. The display shows the destination you have selected on
the top line.
2. Press the down arrow key until the display shows the words “COMMS
FORMAT ”.
The display shows: COMMS FORMAT 1
SCANCOM
3. Use right or left arrow to select the appropriate format.
The display shows the format you select,
for example: COMMS FORMAT 1
SCANCOM FF
Reporting Map
The Reporting Map is a series of options which let you chose the alarm
types or events Homelink will report to each of the four telephone numbers.
The options available are:
Pendant Low Battery Local Alarm Pendant Low Battery
Fire Alarm Mains Fail PA Alarm Mains Restoral
Inactivity Test Call Intruder Alarm Low Temperature
Home & Away Cancel
For every item in the list the programmer lets you switch the option ON or
OFF for each of the four telephone numbers. When an item is ON then
Homelink will report that alarm type or event to the specified phone number.
To change the reporting map:
1. Start the HLEXTRA program and execute the PROGRAM command.
The display shows: ACCOUNT NO. 1
2. Press the down arrow key until the display shows the words -
“PENDANT”.
The display shows: PENDANT
ON ON OFF OFF
Note: The top line of the display shows the device making the report. The bottom line
of the display shows whether reporting is enabled (ON) or disabled (OFF) for
each of the four telephone numbers. Telephone number 1 is on the left, 4 on
the right.

Page 18 496759
3. Use number keys 1 to 4 to toggle reporting ON or OFF to individual
telephone numbers.
The display changes each time you press number
keys 1 to 4. For example, if you press 1 then the
bottom left of the display shows: PENDANT
OFF ON OFF OFF
4. Use down arrow to display the next device, for example:
LOCAL ALARM
ON ON OFF OFF
Note:
• If you switch reporting OFF for all four telephone numbers then the bottom
line of the display shows the words “NOT REPORTED”. Switching reporting ON
for any of the telephone numbers changes the display to show (for example)
“ON OFF OFF OFF”.
• If you have connected a Movement Detector to Homelink to detect that the
user is still active, then you must set INACTIVITY to ON for the relevant
telephone number. (See also Activity Monitor.)
• If you want Homelink to report to the monitoring centre that it has lost mains
power then you must set MAINS FAIL to ON for the relevant telephone number.
• To make Homelink report that it has regained mains power then you must
set MAINS RESTORAL to ON for the relevant telephone number.
Hard Wired Inputs
Behind the access panel in the base Homelink provides a connection for a
hard wired alarm input, see Figure 1 on page 6. The connection is suitable
for either normally closed or normally open contacts. The connecting cable
must not exceed 50 metres in length.
Homelink Extra will accept and separately identify a single hardwired device.
The following options are available:
• Local alarm
• Intruder/Inactivity
• Fire
• PA
• Low Temperature.
To set the option:
1. Start the HLEXTRA program and execute the PROGRAM command.
The display shows: ACCOUNT NO. 1
2. Press the down arrow key until the display shows the words -
“HARDWIRED INPUT”.
The display shows: HARD WIRED INPUT
LOCAL ALARM
3. Use the right and left arrow keys to select the device type.
Note: The default setting will be the Local Alarm extension to the orange
Emergency button.

496759 Page 19
Report To
You can specify how Homelink is to attempt to call its programmed phone
numbers in two ways: Single Number or Multiple Numbers.
In SINGLE NUMBER reporting Homelink requires a single response from
only one of the programmed numbers. If, for example, the first number that
Homelink calls gives a response then Homelink does not try to call any of the
other programmed numbers.
In MULTIPLE NUMBERS reporting Homelink requires a response from all
the programmed numbers (up to a maximum of four). Homelink calls each
number in turn until either they have all responded or Homelink has made
the maximum permitted number of attempts.
For example, if you want Homelink to call:
a) A relative first,
b) A central station
Then:
• Program Telephone Number 1 with the telephone number of the
relative.
• Program Telephone Number 2 with the telephone number of the
central station
• Set Reports to Single Number.
Homelink will phone the relative first, and if they do not acknowledge with
“5”, it will call the Central Station. This cycle will repeat until one party
acknowledges the call.
To set the option:
1. Start the HLEXTRA program and execute the PROGRAM command.
The display shows: ACCOUNT NO. 1
2. Press the down arrow key until the display shows the words “REPORT
TO”.
The display shows: REPORT TO
SINGLE NUMBER
3. Use right or left arrow to switch to SINGLE NUMBER or MULTIPLE
NUMBERS.
The display shows (for example): REPORT TO
MULTIPLE NUMBERS
Speech Only
This option applies to telephone numbers with Speech Only comms format
answered using DTMF telephones. (Note that this option will only appear if
at least one telephone number has been given Speech Only comms format.)
The options are:

Page 20 496759
• Single Call - Homelink calls each number with Speech Only comms
format once.
• Multiple Calls - Homelink calls each number with Speech Only comms
format according to the setting of the Report To option. Homelink marks a
call as successful when it receives a DTMF “5” from the called party.
To set the option:
1. Start the HLEXTRA program and execute the PROGRAM command.
The display shows: ACCOUNT NO. 1
2. Press the down arrow key until the display shows the words “SPEECH
ONLY”.
The display shows: SPEECH ONLY
SINGLE CALL
3. Use right or left arrow to switch to SINGLE CALL or REPEAT CALLS.
The display shows (for example): SPEECH ONLY
REPEAT CALLS
To Answer Speech Only Call Attempts With Non-DTMF Phones
If you wish to call a telephone number that uses a pulse dialling phone then
the called party cannot send the correct signal to Homelink to end the call.
This means that Homelink may make repeated calls to the same number,
even though the called party has answered the call.
To prevent this the PSION programmer offers the option “Speech Only -
Single Call/Repeat Calls”. Set the option to:
• “Repeat Calls” when calling a DTMF phone
• “Single Call” when calling a pulse dial phone.
Guard Time
When a user presses EMERGENCY, or uses a pendant trigger, Homelink
bleeps for a short time before starting the emergency call. This wait (called
the Guard Time) is designed to allow the user to cancel the call if they
pressed EMERGENCY or used the pendant trigger by mistake. When
Homelink is delivered from the factory the Guard Time is set to 10 seconds.
To change this time:
1. Start the HLEXTRA program and execute the PROGRAM command.
The display shows: ACCOUNT NO. 1
2. Press the down arrow key until the display shows the words “GUARD
TIME”.
The display shows: GUARD TIME
10 SECONDS
3. Press EXE
The display shows: GUARD TIME
