Relay Switch Programming Options
To activate the internal relay switch you will need a radio capable of sending a 2-tone signal. Our
MURS Commercial Intercom base station or the
MURS NT Two-Way Radio handheld have this capability. The switch can be configured as follows:
- On/Off Code: The switch will close when a preprogrammed code is received, and open when it is received again. The switch will also open by itself when the Callbox's preprogrammed Automatic Turn Off feature is activated.
- Switch On When Called: The switch closes when the callbox first receives the call and it remains on until its Talk button is pressed, or a programmable timer expires (1-255 seconds).
- Switch On When Callbox In Use: The switch will close when the Callbox first sends or receives a call and remains closed until a preprogrammed timer expires.
- Switch On When Active Includes Turn-Off Code: Switch closes when the Callbox sends or receives a call with the added ability to open the switch when the Callbox receives a preprogrammed code.
- Momentary Close: Switch will close for 1-255 seconds when a preprogrammed code is received.
- Alternate Open and Close: Switch will toggle between open and closed when it receives a preprogrammed code. The Callbox transmits a single beep when open and a double beep when closed.
Recorded Message Options
This unit also has the ability to broadcast recorded messages that can be transmitted to receiving radios or played on the speaker when the Push-To-Talk button is pressed:
- Voice Alert (4 seconds max): Message is transmitted when the PTT button is first pressed
- Greeting Message (12 seconds max): Message plays on speaker when PTT button is first pressed
- Sensor Detect On (4 seconds max): Message is transmitted when Sensor input is closed
- Sensor Detect Off (4 seconds max): Message is transmitted when Sensor input is opened
- Low Battery (4 seconds max): Message is transmitted when low battery voltage is detected
- Power Fail (4 seconds max): Message is transmitted when a +12VDC power fail is detected
Customer Reviews
Matthew A. Razzano, Gap Inc. Direct, Groveport, OH*"We are utilizing the call boxes at three vehicle entry gates on the property. Two locations have badge readers to operate the gates, while one is a visitors' entrance where Security interacts with entrants via the call box.
Our old system relied on underground wiring, which caused frequent issues with broken conduit. Switching to this wireless solution was the right choice. Installation was straightforward, and the added functionality exceeded my expectations.
The technical customer support was exceptional, showing genuine care for the success of my project. They left me confident that any issues could be resolved with a simple phone call. So far, the system has been problem-free."*
John Danna, MOTCO Trust Group, La Marque, TX
*"We use the call box to communicate with visitors and open the entrance gate wirelessly from both the office and portable radios (walkie-talkies).
Personnel can be anywhere on our 40-acre site and still communicate with the gate and open it. The physical installation was simple, and the instructions were clear. Technical support was excellent, though programming required a bit of learning at first.
[IntercomsOnline.com Note: Units come preprogrammed and only need programming for custom applications, which we can handle for you.]"*
Gary Magrey, Frito-Lay, Inc.
*"We use the call box at our plant’s exterior door, allowing truck drivers to call in and identify themselves. We can then remotely grant access through a security door.
The call box is perfect for our application, but what we especially love is the ability to manage the entrance remotely using a wireless handheld unit. This feature is invaluable when we leave the office to attend to other parts of the plant."*
