New Honeywell AVS Audio Verification System Support GSM4G

Description

New
Honeywell AVS
Audio Verification System
Support GSM4G
The Audio Verification System, comprised of a Base unit (AVS) and up to three Remote Stations (AVST), provides central station 2-way voice capability (AAV) by allowing the central station operator to listen and/or talk to individuals on premises following receipt of an alarm report from the premises’ alarm system (excluding fire or carbon monoxide alarms). It is intended to work with compatible VISTA-15P series and VISTA-20P/VISTA-21iP series control panels.
The Base unit serves as a central audio controller. In addressable mode, it establishes audio signal pathways between the incoming telephone line (or aGSMV4G or GSMX4G communication device) and Remote Stations via the control’s ECP terminals (avoids need for trigger inputs). The Remote Station has a built-in microphone and speaker that sends audio signals to and receives audio signals from the Base unit. In addition, a keypad can be connected directly to a Remote Station via a 5-pin header, which avoids the need to home run the keypad wiring to the control.
The Base unit is powered from the control panel’s auxiliary power output and in turn provides power and control signals to the remote stations (350mA each). When installed with the full complement of three remote stations, the system draws up to 1050mA plus the Base unit’s 110mA in siren mode (see Specifications section for detailed current drains). If the control panel’s output cannot supply this current, use a Listed Class 2 Power Supply rated 12VDC and minimum required current.
The system can provide appropriate burglary, fire, and carbon monoxide (if connected) alarm sounding at the remote stations during an alarm condition if the control is programmed to do so. However, during a voice session, the system sends a signal to the control (via a preprogrammed zone) to temporarily silence the bell, keypads, and remote station sounders (except during fire or carbon monoxide alarms). Alarm sounding resumes when the voice session is terminated.
The Base unit provides ECP terminals, which serve as connection points for keypads and other ECP devices (the Base unit should be the only ECP module connected to the control’s ECP terminals; all other ECP devices connect to the Base unit’s ECP terminals). In addition, an audio cable connector is provided for connection to a GSMV4G/GSMX4G communication device, if used
System options are set via a 4-position DIP switch. These options include voice session initiating mode (central station callback or panel trigger) and a program mode for programming the central station callback code. A 5-position DIP switch is used to set the module’s device address.
Compatibility Note:
The AVS, when used in addressable mode, is compatible with controls having the following firmware versions: VISTA-20P series = version 7.0 or higher; VISTA-21iP series = version 3.0 or higher; VISTA15P series = version 6.0 or higher.
