The DMP 1148-G Personal Pendant is a wireless emergency transmitter. Key requirements for setup include programming the device as an Emergency (EM) zone in your panel, entering the 8-digit serial number found on the back of the device, and setting the Supervision Time to 0 to extend battery life. The device must be tested at least every 30 days to ensure proper communication.
Description and compatibility
The 1148 Personal Pendant is a one-button, water-resistant wireless transmitter. It features a Status LED for visual confirmation of message transmission and uses a pre-installed, non-removable battery. It is compatible with all DMP 1100 Series Wireless Receivers and Panels.
Installation
The pendant can be worn as a wristband or on a break-away lanyard. The clips for both options are inserted in one direction.




- Wristband: Slide the wristband clip into the slots. Adjust the band to fit your wrist and trim any excess length using scissors by cutting along the thinned area between the clasp holes.
- Lanyard: Slide the lanyard mount into the slots. Place the lanyard around your neck and snap the break-away clasp together. Adjust the length using the slide.
Programming
Program the pendant as an Emergency (EM) Zone type in the Zone Information section of your panel programming. You must enter the eight-digit serial number located on the back of the pendant. To maximize battery life, ensure the Supervision Time is set to 0.
LED status and survey
The Status LED provides feedback based on the LED OPERATION setting in the panel programming:
- YES: The LED blinks once when the button is pressed and once every second for five minutes to confirm the message was sent.
- NO: The LED blinks once when the button is pressed to confirm the message was sent.
The pendant also includes a Survey LED capability to confirm communication with the receiver. Press the button to send data; if the LED blinks immediately on and off, communication is confirmed. If the LED remains on for eight seconds or flashes multiple times in quick succession, communication is faulty and the receiver should be relocated.
Testing and maintenance
As a non-stationary wireless device, the 1148 pendant should be tested at least every 30 days. If the pendant is taken out of the range of the receiver, press the button to test it once it is back within range.
