2.6 PTT and 24V DC Switched Output
24V DC is available as a switched output to control external devices like remote volume controls with bypass relays for
emergency paging or evacuation strobes (when powered from an external 24V supply). Please note: The 24V DC switched
output has a maximum current draw of 1 amp and is internally thermal fuse protected.
Fig 2.6 demonstrates the connection of a strobe to the 24V DC output. As the current draw of the strobe may be more
than 1amp a relay board is used to switch an external power supply. The Altronics S 4444 24V Relay Board as shown is an
inexpensive and easily installed option designed for this purpose.
To enable the switched output, switch 1 on DIP5 must be set to the “ON” position.
The 24V DC ouput is activated when the PTT terminals shown on the rear of the unit (see Fig 2.6) are shorted together or
when any priority/VOX is activated. The PTT is normally done with the switch of a push to talk microphone as shown in
Fig 2.6.

Priority or VOX muting is only
functional on inputs 1-3. When
VOX is enabled on input 1 it will
override all other inputs includ-
ing the Alert/Evac Module. VOX
enabled on input 2 will override
inputs 3-6. VOX enabled on input
3 will override inputs 4-6.
If the Alert/Evac module is fitted
it will override inputs 2-6.
