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.

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 .

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.

2. Using the PSION Programmer
To program Homelink with the PSION programmer:
1. Connect the programmer to Homelink using the special cable.
2. Record the program from the Homelink unit into the programmer.
3. Make any changes to the program on the programmer.
4. Transmit the changed program back into Homelink.
5. Disconnect the programmer from Homelink.
6. Always test the new program on the Homelink unit.
CAUTION: Make sure you use the method outlined in steps 1 to 6 above,
especially if you use the same programmer for other types of Homelink unit.
Otherwise some Homelink units may not work correctly.
Note: If the programmer flashes the words "Time out" repeatedly then that means
that the programmer cannot communicate with the Homelink. Carry out the
following steps:
1. Remove the programming lead from the PSION programmer.
2. Switch OFF the PSION programmer, either by press "O" or by selecting
"OFF" on the menu.
3. Switch ON the PSION programmer using ON/CLEAR.
4. Press ON/CLEAR again.
5. Insert the programming lead into the PSION programmer again.

You will only use a few of the keys on the PSION programmer keyboard.
These are:
EXE Execute. Equivalent to saying “yes - do that”.
ON/CLEAR Switches the PSION programmer ON if the display is blank. If
you are using a program this key takes you back to the previous
menu.
DEL Delete the character just entered.
O Switches the PSION programmer OFF.
and Selects a menu item.
and Selects a new command.
Number keys Used to enter digits and long numbers.
When you first switch the programmer on the display shows you a list (or
menu) of single word commands.
Each command starts a program stored in the programmer. Most of the
programs are part of the PSION and are designed to let you store and
retrieve information or use the calculator.
Scantronic have added a special program to let you set up Homelink options.
The command to start this program is HLEXTRA. This command appears in
the top left of the display when you first start the programmer.
To select commands move the display cursor (a blinking square) over a
word and press EXE. To move the cursor use the Left, Right, Up and Down
arrow keys.
