tynetec FM0837 869MHz Bogus Caller Alarm
Product Information
The Bogus Caller Alarm is a trusted technology product designed to provide enhanced security and safety for users. It operates on the 869MHz frequency and is manufactured by Tynetec, a business unit of Legrand Electric Ltd. The Bogus Caller Alarm is specifically designed to help protect residents from potential threats or uneasy situations caused by unwanted visitors. It features a discreet wall-mounted button that can be easily pressed when needed.
In addition to its alarm function, the Bogus Caller Alarm also includes a low battery condition notification feature. When the battery is running low, an automatic report is sent to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), ensuring that the alarm remains operational at all times. The Bogus Caller Alarm is equipped with a Lithium battery, which should not be tampered with or replaced by users. If the battery needs replacement, it can be returned to Tynetec for professional service.
Product Usage Instructions
Positioning
The Bogus Caller Alarm should be mounted on the wall in the hallway alongside the front door or in any location where it can be discreetly pressed in case of a threat or uneasiness with a visitor.
Alarm Condition
When the Bogus Caller Alarm button is pressed, it initiates a silent dial alarm call on the Reach IP unit with speech opened in listen mode only. This allows the ARC operator to listen-in and assess the situation before taking appropriate action. Additionally, a standard trigger alarm will be initiated on a Carer Response.
Low Battery Condition
If a low battery condition is detected, it will be automatically reported to the ARC. The Bogus Caller Alarm should be replaced as soon as possible within 30 days. To replace the battery, contact Tynetec for assistance.
Out of Range Notification
If the Bogus Caller Alarm goes out of range, it will notify the user or the ARC. Ensure that the Reach IP unit is within range for proper functionality.

Using Instructions
Positioning
The bogus caller alarm button should be wall mounted in the hallway alongside the front door or anywhere it can be pressed discreetly if the resident feels threatened or uneasy with a visitor.
Alarm Condition
The bogus caller button will initiate a silent dial alarm call on the Reach IP unit with speech opened in “listen mode” only. This allows the ARC operator to listen-in and assess the situation before taking appropriate action. A standard trigger alarm will be initiated on a Carer Response.
Low Battery Condition
A low battery condition will be reported automatically to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). The bogus caller alarm should be replaced as soon as possible within 30 days. The bogus caller alarm can be returned to Tynetec for battery replacement.
Out of Range Notification
The Reach IP can monitor all radio peripheral devices to determine whether they have been damaged or removed from an installation. Should the Reach IP be unable to detect a device’s heartbeat it will automatically generate a “radio out of range” notification. Firstly, investigate if there’s a genuine reason for the alert, if not, arrange for the peripheral device to be replaced immediately. The “Radio out of range timer” can be set from 30 hours to 99999 hours in Pulse CMP. “Radio supervision” can be disabled by unchecking the tick box associated with each peripheral device in Pulse CMP.
Maintenance
Test the bogus caller alarm once every month. Clean with a damp cloth, do not use solvents or cleaners on the switch plate.
Disposal
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with normal household waste. The bogus caller alarm is ideally suited for disposal within the waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) recycling scheme. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or contact your supplier for recycling/disposal advice.
Warning
