PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The VB-4 Audio Module is designed as an add-on accessory for the
PERS-2400 Personal Emergency Reporting System Consoles. The
module plugs directly into the Console’s circuit board connectors.
A digitally synthesized human voice produced by the VB-4 module
announces important system information through the Console’s
speaker. The volume control adjusts the voice level.
The VB-4 features 2-way audio (manual and full duplex) and audio
listen-only capabilities for Central Station monitoring. The small
microphone supplied fits into the Console’s case. The module’s
high-gain amplifier allows the Central Station to monitor the sounds
in the installation after an alarm. In 2-way full duplex mode, the Central
Station operator can talk back to the subscriber through the Console’s
speaker. In 2-way manual mode the Central Station operator can
control the direction of the 2-way communications using a pushbutton
telephone.
The Model RSM-1 Remote Speaker/Microphone can also be used
with the VB-4 to increase its audio coverage area.

IMPORTANT !!!
Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill
an important need in portable wireless signalling. However, there
are some limitations which must be observed.
✶
For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply
with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such,
they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
✶
A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal
at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or
near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
✶
Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC
compliance.
✶
Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect
against undetected interference or fault.
✶
A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained
prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these
facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
