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.
** End of
tone closures operate in momentary mode only.
