Setting up the System

Setting up the

System

This section describes how to set up the CareGard system. Installing the system consists of the

following procedures:

1. Locating the panel

2. Plugging in the phone line

3. Plugging in the power

4. Powering up the system

5. Adjusting the speaker volume

Locating the Panel

The following should be considered when determining a location for the CareGard panel:

• The control panel must have access to an incoming phone line and a standard outlet (110

VA C ) .

• The panel should be centrally located on a table or countertop where it is convenient to use

(such as on a nightstand near a bed).

• The panel should not be in or near a bathroom.

Plugging in the Phone Line

There are two methods for connecting the panel to a phone line; line seizure and no line seizure.

Note

All devices that use a phone line must be plugged into the PHONE Jack on the CareGard panel for it to

function properly. This includes devices that were plugged into other phone jacks in the home. The use

of Line Grabbers or the installation of an RJ31X jack are also acceptable methods of obtaining Line Sei-

zure.

Line Seizure

This method requires that the panel be wired ahead (or in front) of all other phones, answering

machines, computers or any other devices on the phone line. This allows the panel to take over

(seize) the phone line, even if another device on the line is in use.

1. Plug the smaller end of the included phone cord into a phone jack in the home.

2. Plug the larger end into the LINE jack on the back of the panel.

3. Plug additional devices such as phones and answering machines to the PHONE jack on the

back of the panel.

No Line Seizure

Note

Connecting the panel to a standard phone (voice) line using the no line seizure method should be

avoided. Other devices in use at the same time the panel is using the line can prevent reports from

going through.

This method is typically used where DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) service exists. DSL allows

multiple devices on a single phone line to be used simultaneously. Simply connecting the panel

LINE jack to an available phone jack on the premises using the phone cord is all that is required.

An in-line filter may be required to ensure panel reporting is successful.
