Voice Alert System-6: How It Works

Voice Alert System-6 is a patented wireless annunciator. It allows voice-recorded messages to identify activity for up to six monitored zones. Voice Alert uses wireless, passive infrared sensor/transmitters (PIR's) with an indoor receiver/speaker (Base Unit).

When movement is detected ...

• A radio signal is sent from the PIR to the remote Base Unit.
• A custom message, which you've recorded in your own voice for that specific zone, is played on the Base Unit.
• One of four "C" relays attached to the Base Unit can optionally be triggered (see example below).

With its ability to secure up to six separate zones, each with its own customized recorded message in your own voice, Voice Alert is the most flexible system available.

Residential Scenarios

• Zone 1 could be a driveway alarm and play back "Car coming up the driveway."
  
  
• Zone 2 could guard a side entrance against intruders. When this PIR detects movement the Base Unit could play back "Someone's on the patio" and trigger a floodlight using one of the four "C" relays included on the Base Unit.
  
  
• Zone 3 is used by the entrance to the backyard pool. When triggered, this Zone plays back "Kids are by the pool."
  
  
• Zone 4 might be used to detect movement in your prized garden. You could record "Is there a deer in the garden?" to be played when the sensor for this zone is triggered near your garden.
  
  
• System-6 can monitor all four zones simultaneously and still have two additional zones available (along with their own custom messages), if required.

Commercial Examples

• Zone 1 could monitor a loading dock and play back "Delivery arriving" when triggered.
  
  
• Zone 2 could monitor a counter area or front desk. When triggered, this Zone might play back "Customer out front."
  
  
• Zone 3 could be used to monitor a restricted area in a store. When this PIR detects movement, the Base Unit plays back "Someone's in the storeroom," for example.
  
  
• The applications are endless. System-6 can monitor all three zones simultaneously and still have three additional zones available if needed.

Users can place the wireless sensors wherever needed and alter their recorded messages at any time. Voice Alert System-6 sets up in minutes and can be completely customized to handle tough wiring situations. The wireless PIR features adjustable mounting and beam patterns, all-weather protection, and can send a signal up to 1000 feet in open space (or 300 feet through walls). Multiple base units may also be used to trigger alerts in two or more areas simultaneously.

Tech Tips

• Mount Voice Alert Sensors Low to Detect Vehicles
  
  

  For best results when installing a sensor/transmitter to monitor vehicle activity, mount the sensor at 30 to 34 inches above the ground and angle it toward an oncoming car's radiator. Since the sensor uses infrared technology to detect activity, aiming the sensor to the hottest part of the car will insure maximum results.
  
  

• Contact Closure Opens Windows of Opportunity
  
  

  Now Voice Alert can let users know when a door, window or gate opens or closes by using the sensor/transmitter as a wireless transmitter.

  Move the PIR enable/disable switch to the OFF position and hardwire a trigger device into the contact closure on the sensor/transmitter. When the device is activated it will cause the transmitter to send a wireless signal to Voice Alert's Receiver/Speaker. Voice Alert's Receiver/Speaker will then play the recorded message designated for that zone.
  
  

• Adding a Voice to Fire Systems
  
  

  Experts agree that people have about four minutes or less to escape a home after a fire alarm sounds.

  Use the contact closure on a Voice Alert sensor/transmitter to tie into the smoke alarm's output. When the fire system triggers an alarm, the system issues an audio command that fire has been detected.

  Hearing a voice message can help reduce confusion.
  
  

• Withstanding Fall Weather
  
  

  The Voice Alert Sensor/Transmitters are designed to work well outside regardless of the weather. The sensor's weatherproof housing offers protection from rain, wind and snow. When installed outside the Sensor/Transmitters do best when in a covered area and not facing directly into the sun. In very cold climates a lithium battery will provide better performance and longer use.
  
  

• Easy Solution for Broadcasting Voice Alert Messages Throughout the Home or Business
  
  Simply connect the two systems together using Voice Alert's LINE OUT and RadioShack's auxiliary input. Then, when a Voice Alert sensor is triggered, the message will broadcast to any room with one of the wireless intercom speakers. Because both systems are wireless, it's a snap to install.
  Of course another easy solution is to program additional Voice Alert Receiver / Speakers for each room you want to sound the messages. This is a particularly good option if your customer needs more than one Sensor / Transmitter so you can provide additional full systems.
  
  

• Get Back in Sync when Lightning Strikes
  
  

  When severe electrical storms strike during the summer, Voice Alert users occasionally may notice that their sensors don't respond immediately following the storm. The positive and negative charges floating through the air during the storm sometimes scramble the wireless signal from the sensor to the base unit. Re-programming the system will get both devices back in sync and only takes a few seconds to do. Here's how:

  • Slide the switch on the front of the base unit from "Run" to "Program."
  • Wave your hand in front of the Sensor, this will trigger the Sensor.
  • The Setup LED on the top of the base unit will come on.
  • Press the appropriate message button (1 - 6) on the front of the base unit associated with this Sensor. This registers (i.e. synchronizes) that particular Sensor to the chosen zone.
  • Slide the switch back to the "Run" position.
