TAC-5
Telephone Remote Broadcast Coupler with DTMF Control
The TAC-5 combines a telephone
autocoupler with a password protected,
DTMF, remote control for handling
remote broadcasts or general dial-up
control from anywhere. It
automatically answers the phone on a
user set number of rings and waits for
you to enter your password (from none
to 8 digits). After entering your
password, you have complete control of
the TAC-5's relays. Audio is passed to
and from the telephone line, making
the TAC-5 ideal for unattended remote
broadcasting. While the
telephone interface lets you get your
audio on the air, you can use the
TAC-5's relays to control your
automation system or even put yourself
direclty on the air, bypassing
everything else in your air
chain. The direct to air mode is
not only useful for remotes, it is
also great for emergency broadcasts
when weather strikes, etc.
Relays
can be individually programmed for
momentary, latching or interlocked
operation. Each relay can be
programmed to decode any of the 16
DTMF tones. Any relay can be tied to
any other for modes such as latching
and interlocked. Relays can return a
beep acknowledge tone that tells you
when you've activated an output. The
TAC-5 includes a two-tone sequence
mode that prevents accidental contact
closures when you're using it for
remote broadcasts.
The
TAC-5 has a logic level input that can
cause the TAC-5 to call you or your
pager or phone number (up to 24 digits
long).

The TAC-5 features an audio hybrid
that allows you to control the unit while
monitoring an external audio source. That makes
the TAC-5 a great choice for EAS monitoring,
remote controlled audio switcher, etc. Of
course, an active, balanced telephone audio
feed, with send and receive gain controls, is
brought out so that you can put the telephone
audio on the air or into a recorder. A second,
user set password is available that allows the
TAC-5 to be used as a listening device only.
When the secondary password is entered, the
TAC-5 passes send audio to the caller and will
stay on-line, but the caller has no control over
the unit's relays. Additional ground sink
outputs occur when the TAC-5 seizes the phone
line and when it hangs up. Programming is easily
done from any DTMF telephone. The TAC-5 is
compatible with both the CP-1 Call Progress
Decoder option. For a complete list of TAC-5
features and controls, please
download the current TAC-5 manual from our
main site. Other
manuals are also available there as well.
