AVS - Audio Verification System
About the Audio Verification System (AVS)
Congratulations on your ownership of an Audio Verification System (AVS). This system works in conjunction
with your alarm system and allows a central station operator to listen, speak to, or conduct a two-way
conversation with an individual at the protected premises when an alarm occurs. This can assist the central
station in quickly gathering information about the nature and location of the alarm, which is helpful when
dispatching police or other emergency services as required.
The AVS is comprised of a Base Unit and one or more Remote Stations (AVST).
The Base unit, along with Remote Stations, comprises an audio system that offers central station 2-way voice
communication with the protected premises. The system serves as a central audio controller where it
establishes audio signal pathways between the incoming telephone line and remote stations.
The stations serve as the user interface. Each has a built-in microphone and speaker that send audio signals
to and receive audio signals from the system.
Depending on your specific installation, your system may have up to three stations installed. These stations
will have been installed at various locations inside your premises.
2-Way Voice Operation (Central Station)
The system allows a central station operator to listen and/or talk to individuals at the premises via the
remote stations following receipt of an alarm report from the premise's alarm system. This helps to prevent
false alarms and in cases of an actual alarm, allows the operator to gather information about the nature and
locations of the alarm that may be helpful to the responding fire, police, or rescue agencies. This feature
works in conjunction with the premises alarm system and is controlled by the central station operator; it
does not require any intervention by you to operate.
The system provides three 2-way voice-operating modes from which the central station operator can choose.
Mode
Talk
Listen
2-way voice
In the event of an alarm
When an alarm occurs, the control automatically dials the central station and reports the alarm. Once the
reporting is complete, the central station operator can activate the AVS system and listen in to the activity
at the premises. The operator can also choose to speak to persons at the premises if the situation dictates. To
respond to the central station operator, the user should simply speak normally in the vicinity of the remote
station.
