1. INTRODUCTION
Background
Homelink Extra is an emergency alarm unit which will call a monitoring centre (for example a wardens office) over the public telephone network when the user activates a trigger. The trigger might be the orange button on the front of the set, a small radio transmitter worn either as a pendant round the users neck or on the user's wrist, or a pull cord on the ceiling. When Homelink makes the call the monitoring centre can talk to the user and hear the users replies. Homelink can also be used as a simple intruder alarm. By pressing an Away button the user can set the unit to report when, for example, a door contact is activated. Homelink is mains powered, and connects to a standard telephone socket. In the event of mains power failure an internal lead acid backup battery provides power for emergency calls for up to 36 hours. The installer can program Homelink to report mains power loss to the monitoring centre. Homelink can also detect a cut or short circuit telephone line. To report the event Homelink flashes the line fail light, and can be programmed to sound a warning bleep. In addition, Homelink can be fitted with a pair of contacts at the base of the unit, and programmed to close them in the event of a line failure. For instructions on how to use Homelink see the Homelink User Guide, part number 495954.

SAFETY WARNING: Disconnect Homelink from the telephone network before removing the access panel. Facilities
This section lists all of the facilities provided by Homelink. Those facilities that can be programmed contain notes on which option(s) to use. For full details on how to program individual options see Chapter 6 Programming.
Account Numbers / Ident Codes

Homelink can store up to four eight-digit account numbers. Each account number is associated with one of the four telephone numbers that Homelink can store. This means that the unit can communicate with up to four independent monitoring services.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 29 (ACCOUNT NUMBER)

TELEPHONE PROGRAMMING: PAGE 48
Activity Monitoring
You can program Homelink to make an emergency call if it detects no movement over a set period of time. (To do this the users home must be fitted with the appropriate detector.) You can set the period to be anything from one to 32 hours, in hourly steps. See also Habit Cycle.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGES 30, 33 (REPORTING MAP -INACTIVITY, AND ACTIVITY MONITOR)
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 5-1 on page 23 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. Remote Microphone/Loudspeaker Unit 2080 (Optional) To provide added coverage you can connect an optional microphone/loudspeaker unit. The connecting cable must not exceed 50 metres in length. Auxiliary Alarm Output (Optional) The optional auxiliary alarm output provides a voltage free change-over contact that can switch 1A at 24V. You can program the Homelink to activate the contact at one of the following events: Homelink detects a failure to communicate, for example a telephone line fault. Homelink detects an alarm event. The monitoring centre sends the appropriate signal. Once activated the auxiliary output contact closes for a set time period. You can select the time period when programming the unit. See Chapter 6.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 40, 41 (AUXILIARY OUTPUT MODE AND AUXILIARY OUTPUT TIMER)
To reset the auxiliary alarm output move the Privacy switch from its current position, and then back again within one second. If you take longer than one second between moving the switch and returning it then Homelink will not reset the output. Note that you can program Homelink to send a Cancel report when the Privacy switch is operated in this way (see Cancel Call (Help
495875 5
Arrived) later in this Chapter). Auxiliary Alarm Input Behind the access panel in the base Homelink provides a connection for a hard wired alarm input. The connection is suitable for either normally closed or normally open contacts. The connecting cable must not exceed 50 metres in length.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 31 (HARD WIRED INPUT)
Away Button
The user can make Homelink work as a simple intruder alarm by pressing the green AWAY button. The users 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. This delay allows the user to leave their home without triggering the alarm. 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. The entry/ exit time allows the user to enter their home and unset Homelink (by pressing AWAY) without generating an alarm call. 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. To assign the telephone number Homelink must call when the user presses AWAY, use the Home & Away option in the reporting map.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 30 (REPORTING MAP - HOME & AWAY)
To change the Entry/Exit Time use the Entry/Exit Option (see also Entry/Exit Time below).
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 35 (ENTRY/EXIT TIME)
To give the user an audible warning that the intruder alarm has been activated, use the Intruder Alarm Option.
6 495875
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 38 (INTRUDER ALARM)
Cancel Call (Help Arrived)

You can program Homelink to send a Cancel Call message to a monitoring centre when a helper arrives.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 30 (REPORTING MAP - CANCEL)
The helper triggers the message by moving the Privacy switch from its existing position and then moving it back again within one second. Homelink bleeps once if the helper triggers the message successfully. If the helper delays more than one second before moving the Privacy switch back then Homelink will not send the Cancel Call message.
Dialling Type
Telephones send the digits you dial to the exchange in one of two ways: loop disconnect or DTMF (tone dialling). Homelink can send either type of dialling signal. You can select one or the other using the two position switch shown in Figure 4-1. If you do not know what type of signalling to use ring the telephone company and ask.
Entry/Exit Time
You can set the length of time Homelink waits before generating an intruder alarm in Away mode. This time delay is important because it allows the user to leave the protected area without triggering an alarm when they are setting Homelink into security mode. The same time delay also allows the user to unset Homelink when entering the protected area. You can select a time from zero to just under 10 minutes, in steps of six seconds. Note that setting the entry/exit time to zero disables the AWAY button. (See also Away Button above.)
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 35
Emergency Call
Homelink can make an emergency call in one of several different ways, depending on how it has been programmed. In general terms the sequence of events in an emergency call is this: 1. The user presses the orange EMERGENCY button or uses one of the trigger devices. 2. Homelink bleeps during a preset Guard Time (see below). 3. Homelink dials one to four programmed destination numbers depending on the programming you have selected (see Chapter 6). While Homelink is making calls it gives the user a comfort tone at two-second
495875 7
intervals.
Note: The user cannot make any telephone calls while Homelink is trying to call its programmed destination.
4.
Homelink waits for up to 40 seconds to receive acknowledgement signals back from the monitoring centre. While it is waiting Homelink gives a short tone once every two seconds, this is called the signalling time. If the monitoring centre does not answer then Homelink hangs up and dials the next programmed number. 5. When it receives the correct acknowledgement from the control centre Homelink sends data and/or opens a speech link. You can decide what action Homelink takes during programming (see Chapter 6). CAUTION Homelink cannot make calls if an attached, parallel connected, extension telephone is off-hook.
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. See Chapter 6 for instructions on how to change the length of the Guard Time. When Homelink is delivered from the factory the Guard Time is set to 10 seconds.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 33 (GUARD TIME).
Power Supply
Homelink uses a small plug-top adaptor that plugs into a wall socket to provide power from the electric mains. In addition Homelink is fitted with an internal backup battery. The battery is a 6V 1.2Ah sealed lead acid type. When fully charged the battery provides stand-by power to Homelink for up to 36 hours. When working normally Homelink keeps the backup battery fully charged. Homelink tests the battery every 12 hours if the mains power is on. Mains Fail If Homelink loses mains power it turns off the green light in order to alert the user. Homelink can report silently to the monitoring centre that it has lost mains power. Select the phone number to which Homelink should report this event during programming.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 29 (TELEPHONE NO.) PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 30 (REPORTING MAP - MAINS FAIL)
If you want Homelink to ignore short power breaks then you can program a
8 495875
delay between the start of the mains failure and Homelink making the report. 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.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 36 (MAINS FAIL DELAY)
You can also select an audible alarm to alert the user.

PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 37 (MAINS FAIL WARNING)
Note that this facility only operates if Homelink is fitted with a working backup battery. Homelink can operate for a minimum of 36 hours from a fullycharged battery. Once mains power is restored Homelink can recharge the battery to 90% of its capacity in 12 hours. Mains Restoral You can program Homelink to report to the monitoring centre that mains power has been restored.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 30 (REPORTING MAP - MAINS RESTORAL)
Battery Low If the battery is low Homelink flashes the green light. Homelink can also report this event to the monitoring centre. During programming you can select the phone number to which Homelink should report this event. 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.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 29 (TELEPHONE NO.) PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 30 (REPORTING MAP - LOW BATTERY)
You can also program Homelink to give the user an audible warning if the battery is low.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 37 (LOW BATTERY WARNING)
Pendant Battery Low All the radio triggers described in Chapter 5 can report when their internal battery is running low. They send the report when they are triggered during normal use. You can program Homelink to pass these reports on to the monitoring centre.

Programming
Using the PSION programmer you have full access to all the programmable features of Homelink. This Chapter describes what those features are. Chapter 6 describes in detail how to use the PSION programmer. You can also carry out limited programming using a DTMF telephone connected to the telephone programming socket under the access panel. See page 6-23.
Radio Site Code

In certain kinds of accommodation there may be several Homelink units close together. In order to make sure that each Homelink responds to only one user all triggers are designed to transmit an identity code, called a radio site code. You can program each Homelink to recognise two separate radio site codes: an Alarm Site Code and a Second Pendant Site Code. (There are a total of 254 available radio site codes, all listed in Appendix A.) Whenever Homelink receives a transmission containing the Alarm Site Code it sends an alarm emergency call. If Homelink receives a transmission containing the Second Pendant Site Code it sends a low temperature emergency call.
Note: You must instruct the monitoring centre to interpret a low temperature emergency call as a second pendant call.
During installation you must: a) Set up a trigger with one of the radio site codes you have chosen (see Chapter 5). b) Make Homelink learn the site code from the trigger and store it as the Alarm Site Code.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 42 (RADIO SITE CODE) TELEPHONE PROGRAMMING: PAGE 50
c) Set up all the other triggers to give the same Alarm Site Code. d) If necessary, select a separate site code for a second pendant, and make Homelink learn it as the Second Pendant Site Code.
Recorded Message (-03 Versions)

Homelink can record a short speech message that it will play back to any telephone number that has Speech Only communications format selected. The length of the message is limited to 20 seconds. Make sure that the message contains enough information to identify the caller. When calling, Homelink dials the number and then starts playing the message. Homelink continues to play the message for two minutes. If during that time Homelink receives a DTMF digit 1, 2, 5 or * from the called number then it will stop playing the message.
10 495875
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 44 (RECORDING A SPEECH MESSAGE) TELEPHONE PROGRAMMING: PAGE 50 Note: If the operator has opened a speech path to the Homelink then they can replay the message by dialling 3 on a DTMF phone.
Remote Programming
A monitoring centre can reprogram some Homelink options by using a DTMF telephone. To allow a monitoring centre access to a users Homelink unit you must set the Remote Program option to Use Away Button. When the call between monitoring centre and Homelink unit is established, the user must press AWAY to prepare the Homelink unit for programming. See page 6-27 for more details.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 39 (REMOTE PROGRAM)
In addition, you must also program the Homelink with a Security Code (see later in this Chapter). Some users may not have a telephone attached to their Homelink. In those cases you must program Homelink to answer incoming calls by itself. The option for doing this is Auto-Answer, which only appears on the PSION if you set Remote Program to Use Away Button. In order to make sure Homelink does not answer every incoming call the Auto-Answer option lets you specify a number of rings that Homelink will wait before answering.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 39 (AUTO-ANSWER)
Some users may be concerned that the Auto-Answer option will allow the monitoring centre to eavesdrop on them. In such cases there are two methods for maintaining the users privacy: The privacy switch at the rear of the unit. Turning this to means that the monitoring centre CANNOT listen through the Homelink, but CAN speak to the user through it. The Auto-Answer (speech) option. The PSION displays this option if you have specified a number of rings for Auto-Answer. Setting this option to Disabled means that the monitoring centre can neither hear nor talk to the user.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 40 (AUTO-ANSWER (SPEECH)) Note: If you do enable Auto-Answer (speech) then while the speech path is open Homelink gives a tone every 18 seconds to alert the user.
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
495875 11
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. For more details see page 30.
Reporting Types
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 (SCANCOM and SCANCOM FF). Other formats are available, please check with Scantronic before using them. 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 Homelinks 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). If Homelink does not receive any control signals then it ends a Speech Only call after two minutes.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGES 30 (COMMS FORMAT)

495875
Call Attempts
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.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGE 32 (REPORT TO)
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 Answer Speech Only Call Attempts With Non-DTMF Phones When using Speech Only comms format Homelink waits to receive a DTMF 5 digit before marking a call attempt as successfully completed. 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.

Security Code
When programming Homelink using a DTMF telephone you must enter a four digit security code before Homelink will let you change its options. You can change the security code using either the PSION programmer or a telephone.
PSION PROGRAMMING: PAGES 42 (SECURITY CODE) TELEPHONE PROGRAMMING: PAGE 49
Telephone Line Disconnection

If Homelink detects that the telephone line is disconnected then it starts flashing the yellow light in order to alert the user. Homelink switches the light OFF when the connection is restored. Note that you can program Homelink to sound a bleep and/or activate the auxiliary output connectors if it detects a line fault (see Auxiliary Alarm Output earlier in this Chapter).

5. TRIGGERS
Homelink operates with any of five standard Scantronic triggers. This Chapter briefly describes each of them. After physically installing a trigger you must set it to the correct radio site code for each user. This is done by setting a row of small switches inside the body of the trigger into a unique pattern for each site. Appendix B contains tables of all possible radio site codes. In the tables 1 means turn a switch OFF, 0 means turn a switch ON. NOTE: Do not use 00000000 (all switches On) or 11111111 (all switches OFF) as codes. In addition, there are several switches to set within the trigger to make sure it works correctly with Homelink. This Chapter tells you how to set the appropriate switches within each type of trigger. Note: All the trigger devices mentioned have low battery reporting facilities. When their battery is losing power they will send a report to the Homelink unit.
4601 Radio Pendant

The 4601 pendant is a small radio transmitter that the user wears round his or her neck (4601-50) or wrist (4601-75). The pendant is powered by a long life lithium battery. To use the pendant, press the orange button on the front. The pendant transmits a signal and briefly lights a small red lamp at the top of the case. CAUTION: The pendant is splash resistant, but is not designed to be immersed in water. Once set to the Alarm Site Code on switches 1 to 8, the pendant can be programmed by switches 9 to 12 to give either an alarm signal or a PA signal. When used as a PA trigger Homelink starts dialling immediately, without giving any audible tones or changing the status of any LEDs. Once Homelink establishes the call, the speech path is one way only: from Homelink to the called number. (See "Auxilliary Connection Terminals" and "6. Programming Hard Wired Inputs").
Setting Up
1. 2. 3. Undo the two screws on the back of the device and gently pull the two halves of the case apart Set switches 1 to 8 to the radio site code. Either: Set switches 9 to 12 to the following pattern for an Alarm signal:

6. PROGRAMMING
Scantronic provide a PSION programmer for detailed programming of Homelink Extra. If you have not used a PSION programmer before then read Using the PSION Programmer below. 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 Programming From A Local Telephone at the end of this chapter. SAFETY WARNING: Disconnect Homelink from the telephone network before removing the access panel.
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.
