PERS Control Panel User Guide
This is an additional layer of assurance, provided by the system, that monitors user activity within the
premises, utilizing its peripherals.
This feature is activated by the Monitoring Station and provides no visual or audible indications to the
monitored user.
The CP may also be configured to function as a speakerphone. When the telephone rings, the user
may press an
EMERGENCY
button, on the Control Panel or on one of the wireless peripherals, which
initiates a full-duplex conversation with the monitoring station.
Terminate the call by again pressing the
EMERGENCY
button.
n
All the wireless peripherals are supervised. The peripherals send periodic reports to the CP showing
their status. The possible statuses are:
˜
Low battery
˜
Tamper
˜
Temperature
The portable
EMERGENCY
button is an exception since it may be configured as non-supervised.

Trouble Conditions
The Control Panel may indicate trouble conditions by beeps and/or vocal announcements. Reports
are sent to the monitoring station.
The CP can route calls to up to 13 different telephone numbers or IP addresses. In addition, the CP can filter
the type of messages that should be delivered to each number.
This feature significantly enhances both the communication channels redundancy and message handling
efficiency.
The CP has a power adapter and a rechargeable backup battery to ensure 24 hours of uninterrupted
operation, in case of a power outage. The CP also monitors and reports if there are battery malfunctions
including low battery.
NOTE:
An ON/OFF switch, at the bottom of the CP, enables the user to turn the device
off for storage or while away from home for long periods of time. This prevents battery
discharge and false alarms being sent to the monitoring station.
The Essence Control Panel (CP) device model identification number is ES6502HC.
