Introduction Intended use The Care Phone NOVO is a unit designed for the purpose of providing security and a sense of comfort and safety for the user. The unit is primarily designed for people living in their own apartment or in nursing homes.
PSTN. Overview Care phone NOVO appears as in the picture below. The unit has been de- signed to make it as simple as possible to handle with maximum safety. The size of the plastic cover is: 117 x 161 x 65 mm.
This button is also used in Control Mode and Service Mode. 2.2.2 Reset button (B2) Before making the alarm call NOVO is waiting a number of seconds enabling the user to reset the alarm. If the is pressed during this pe- Reset button (B2) riod, the alarm is interrupted.
LEDs The main unit has six (6) LEDs. Picture 2. NOVO unit LEDs Colour Position (seen as above) Green Leftmost LED in front L2 Red Middle LED in front Yellow Rightmost LED in front L4 Red Behind the Alarm button (B1)

External antenna Applies only to NOVO IP/GSM and NOVO PSTN/GSM. NOVO supports the use of an external antenna and the use of the internal or external antenna is determined by a configuration parameter in the unit’s software. The external antenna is intended to be used in case of poor GSM network signal quality.
Please note that it isn’t enough to disconnect the AC plug to shut off the unit, since the unit then uses the backup accumulator as power source. NOVO Technical Handbook NE41 15013-02 v1.0...
Under the lid is the accumulator compartment for the backup accumulators. If an accumulator must be replaced, please note that the accumulator must to be of correct type and delivered from NEAT. Always disconnect the AC adaptor and if connected the Ethernet cable before opening the accumulator lid.
Depending on model the SIM-hatch is made of either rubber (soft) or plastic (hard). SIM cards should only be changed by the customer on NOVO products with the rubber hatch. To change SIM card on a NOVO product with the plastic hatch send the unit to service.
7-8 mm. The screw head should be approximately 4 mm out of the wall for best fit. A drawing and measures is found in Appendix A NOVO IP/GSM Mounting holes.
When the unit is in accumulator operation, the LEDs flashes instead of being continuously lit. See the tables below for all indications. 3.1.1.1 LED indications for NOVO IP/GSM and NOVO PSTN/GSM L1 (Network) L2 (AC)
* May be changed to Off by configuration, see below. ** “No more call attempts” means that the NOVO has tried to call the alarm receiver, but all call attempts has failed. It has not been possible to transfer the alarm”.
NOVO has the ability to play pre-recorded sounds, i.e. voice messages for improved interaction with the user. 3.2.1 After activating an alarm When the NOVO is calling, by default it plays a melody as a pre-call melody. This is configurable. 3.2.2 Disconnection signal Call disconnection is indicated by a tri-sound (di-du-da) in the loudspeaker.
These are the alarms initiated by the user, e.g. by pressing the Alarm button ) on the NOVO or on the portable trigger SMILE. It can also be when an accessory like WALL, PIR or a SMOKE is activated. Depending on the alarm type received the alarms will be handled differently by NOVO.
If there hasn’t been any radio test alarm for a certain period, NOVO can be configured to send a alarm to the Radio out of range central indicating that there is some trouble with the transmitter. NOVO can also send a indication when the transmitter is working Radio within range again.
Automatic test alarm To let the alarm receiver know that the care phone is working, NOVO can send test alarms to the alarm receiver at regular intervals. The default value is one test alarm each 24 hours. This interval can be changed and the function can also be turned off.
The alarm call Anything that creates some kind of action in the NOVO is called an alarm event. An alarm event can be any of: • pressing the Alarm button (B1) • a mains failure • radio interference These alarm events can be user initiated or initiated by internal functions such as monitoring functions, timers or external alarm events.
Home Phone protocol, however, there is no requirement for any alarm code. Alarm type groups NOVO supports 16 alarm type groups, numbered from 1-16 and every alarm type must belong to one of these groups. NE41 15013-02 v1.0 NOVO Technical Handbook...
Wait between call attempts If no-one answers the call, NOVO re-tries and between the call attempts there is a waiting period which can be set. For some alarm types it is possible to interrupt the call during this waiting period by pressing the .
Indications during an alarm call NOVO has several ways to the progress and status of an alarm call. Below is a list of the default indications for a user initiated alarm call.
Alarm button LED (L3) is in progress. Call answered When the alarm call is answered by the alarm central receiver NOVO initiates a data transmission sequence before the alarm central operator’s voice is heard. The data transmission is silent to the caller.
Home Phone When the care phone is configured to call to a normal telephone, NOVO must use the protocol. To control the conversation in Home Phone Home Phone protocol, the alarm receiving party can press the buttons on their telephone according to below.
5.10.1 Example 1 - a simple alarm sequence The user presses the alarm button on the portable trigger, e.g. SMILE. This triggers an alarm event in NOVO and the logic finds that this is alarm event is associated to the alarm type .

NOVO PSTN Table 23. Version programming options NOVO is normally in Idle Mode, i.e. is not processing any user-ini tiated (e.g. user alarm) nor automatic alarm event/action (e.g. test alarm). Control Mode and Service Menu are ways of easily configuring the unit. The diagram below displayes the tree structure of the menues and its commands.
. To indicate the current function available a corresponing voice button (B3) message is played in the speaker. After finishing configuration of a selected function NOVO automatically re- turns back to the Service Menu. Step to next function by pressing Extra button...
Plug&Play. In total 48 radio peripherals can be added to NOVO. 8 as traditional position programed devices and 40 as Plug&Play peripherals. NOVO supports a large number of the alarm types for traditional position pro- gramming and in the default configuration the alarm types are positioned as listed in the table below.
Walk test mode When in Radio/GSM coverage, activate the connected transmitter, (e.g press- ing the Alarm button on SMILE) and NOVO responds with a “blipp” if the radio coverage is OK. On SMILE the LED blinks green to acknowledge radio coverage is OK.
Exit to SM by pressing Reset Button (B2) The only way to remove a broken Plug&Play device from the NOVO configu- ration is to erase all transmitters or perform the action via the NEAT Manage- ment Portal or with a software programmer. When a full removal is performed, don’t forget to re-add the user peripherals in the installation.
Programing NOVO PSTN units with LPP commands NOVO units with PSTN functionality can be programmed with the Local Pro- gramming Protocol (LPP). This protocol uses DTMF dialtones, i.e. the same dial tones that are used in a regular, analogue telephone and programming can de done over the PSTN line (e.g.
NOVO into NOVO Programmer and “Write to unit (CRTL+W)” writes the current configuration in NOVO Programmer into the connected NOVO. After the configuration file is written to NOVO the unit is disconnected from an re-connected to Windows. Depending on your Windows system settings the “Auto play”...
If the SIM card requires a PIN code, enter the four digits here otherwise leave empty. If the SIM cards is blocked by too many erroneous attempts it must be removed from NOVO and inserted into a regular mobile phone to unlock it with a PUK code. Own number If the configuration parameters require the subscription phone number enter it here.
Misc Real Time Clock (RTC) NOVO is equipped with a real time clock (RTC) which is running continously, even when power is turned off and/or running on accumulator. The RTC can be set by NTP servers (if connected to internet via GSM/GPRS).
• Do not warm up the device or use it near fire. Cleaning • All parts in the NOVO kit can be cleaned with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth. Dry with a dry cloth. • Strong chemicals, grease and other harsh substances must not be used when cleaning or handling the parts in the NOVO kit.
In the European Union, the bin label indicates that this prod- uct should not be disposed of with household waste. It should be deposited at an appropriate facility to enable recovery and recycling or returned to your distributor. NE41 15013-02 v1.0 NOVO Technical Handbook...
