Vibration Signals

The Vibra-Call 3 receiver has specially defined vibrations for each type alert signal

received. (See the Reference Chart on Page 6).

Battery Backup Mode

In the event of a power failure, the Vibra-Call 3 Docking Port will automatically

enter into battery backup mode.

Note: Programmed transmitter codes are retained in memory even when the power is removed.

Last Alert Signal Recall Button

To recall the last received alert signal, press each of the six buttons on the top side

of the Vibra-Call 3 receiver, one at a time. The receiver will vibrate only when you

press the button that identifies which transmitter sent the signal.

Fire Smoke Detector Supervision

The Vibra-Call 3 receiver constantly communicates with up to 4 smoke detectors

or fire transmitters, or combination with a “supervision” signal. The supervision

signal is an added safety feature exclusive to Silent Call 418Mhz products. This

signal supervises the receiver and transmitters to ensure proper communication and

operation between the units. If, after 20 minutes, the receiver does not receive

the supervision signal, it will assume there is a smoke or fire detector failure or

communication fault, and the unit will send a notification as follows: 1 short

vibration if detector 1 is at fault; 2 short vibrations if detector 2 is at fault; 3 short

vibrations if detector 3 is at fault; 4 short vibrations if detector 4 is at fault.

NOTE: In most cases, a supervision alert indicates the need to change out the

batteries in the smoke or fire detection transmitter.
