Tempest CP-242 2.4GHz 4-channel, dual listen wireless BeltStation |
|
Product Code: CP242
|
The
CP-242 is a 4-channel wireless BeltStation that operates in
conjunction with the CM-244 Tempest2400 BaseStation. There are 3
modes of operation for a BeltStation - Normal, Split and Shared. By
switching to Shared or Split Mode, an unlimited number of
BeltStations can be registered to each BaseStation using shared
resources. Each BeltStation user may simultaneously Talk/Listen on
A or B and C or D or toggle between A and B or C and D in
“Single Listen” mode. Volume is set the by rotating the
CH A/B or CH C/D rotary control.
There are two Talk buttons on each BeltStation, one for each
channel. The Talk button enables the microphone signal for the
assigned intercom channels. Each Talk button has individual LED
indicators. The Talk button can be latching or momentary. The Call
button sends a 2-wire compatible call signal to any wireless
BeltStation and any hardwired intercom device on the intercom
channel.
BeltStations are provided with a rechargeable Li-Polymer battery
capable of 9+ hours of operation or can be powered by (3) Standard
AA Alkaline batteries. Each BeltStation has its own back-lit
display and menu functions which allow settings to be changed at
the BeltStation locally. |

Description |
Audio
Each full-duplex BeltStation establishes a unique audio path
(point-to-point) with the associated CM-244 BaseStation delivering
an individualized mix minus signal to other BeltStations in the
system. Therefore, each BeltStation can monitor a unique mix of
intercom channels and other audio sources.
Durability
The CP-242 BeltStations are made of a weather-resistant ABS
co-polymer blend with a high performance polyurethane
over-mold.

Seamless Roaming
Tempest2400 Seamless Roaming is the ability for one or more
Tempest2400 BeltStations to move freely from one BaseStation to
another without any intervention from the end user. This allows the
implementation of a Tempest2400 wireless intercom system which can
cover large areas with multiple zones or areas in a facility that
would not be adequately supported by a single antenna
installation.
A BeltStation can roam between as many as 16 different BaseStations
(coverage areas or zones). In addition, all Tempest operational
modes (Normal, Shared and Split) are supported for seamless
roaming.
