Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can the system support more than one (1) local answering point?
Yes, in addition to the Command Unit handset as the main local answering point, the system
supports up to two (2) Sub-Command Units as additional local answering points.
2. If I have more than one Command Unit can each one be connected to same PSTN/POTS
telephone line?
Because an Area of Rescue system is considered a life safety system, each AOR-5 / AOR-10
Command Unit requires a dedicated telephone line.
3. If I forgot the Master Access Code or the programming configuration, can I reset the
programming on the Command Unit?
If you have forgotten your Master Access Code or the programming configuration, you can
reset the programming to factory defaults through the following procedure.
(1) First, power off the Command Unit.
(2) While pressing and holding the orange-red configuration button, apply power to the
Command Unit.
(3) Release the orange-red configuration button when the LED turns on and a single-beep is
heard.
After the factory reset has been completed, you will need to perform the Fault Detection
Configuration procedure (p.9, Section 12) and/or reprogram the controller board (pp.10-13).
NOTE:
You will NOT have to reprogram the individual AOR-CSE Stations.
4. Does the Command Unit controller board retain its programming if there is complete
power loss?
Yes, memory is non-volatile and does not require a backup battery.
5. Are the AOR-CSE Stations powered by the Command Unit?
Yes, they are line-powered by the Command Unit.
6. Is the ETP-500 Series Analog Call Station compatible with the Command Unit?
Yes, however, the ETP-500 Series can
ONLY
support a single phone number. A secondary
phone number
