The PERS-3600 - Linear’s Newest Wireless Emergency Reporting Console


Given the choice, most seniors and  persons with medical conditions or physical challenges would prefer to live in their own homes and be as independent as possible. That’s not always the case, but for many, this dream can become a reality with the addition of one easy-to-use communications device. The UL Listed PERS-3600 (PERS: Personal Emergency Reporting System) connects to a telephone line and automatically places a call for help whenever assistance is needed, any time of the day or night. The table-top console provides “pushbutton” emergency assistance to anyone who desires additional security and peace of mind. This could be used as an elderly care in Old age homes, private villas, apartments, residences and hospitals patients. Emergency could be in a form of fatigue, heart stroke, low blood sugar level etc.

The Console’s emergency alarm can be triggered by patients using the large, easy to find, help button on the top of the Console or by using a wireless wristband or pendant transmitter. For the visually impaired, each button on the Console is molded with braille characters to identify the button’s function. The Console can also function as a fire alarm triggered by compatible wireless smoke detectors.

The Console can receive signals from up to 16 Linear DX or DXS Series wireless transmitters. Activating a transmitter causes the Console’s built-in digital communicator to send the appropriate alarm report to the central monitoring station. In addition to the central station report, audible and visual indications occur and the alarm relay energizes during an emergency activation.

Electronic Stress Testing (ESS) is a Quality Assurance process that is generally used by companies that supply  products to the military or the aerospace industry. Linear performs rigorous temperature testing of every Console to ensure reliability.

The procedure involves a three-cycle temperature testing procedure from -22º to +149º Fahrenheit. In addition, the PERS-3600 Console is UL listed as a home health care signaling device under UL1637 and as a smoke alarm accessory.
