Switching Security Card (SS16)
An SS16 adds 16 audio/device ports that provide annunciated call-in with half-duplex
communications capabilities between the DA1. Security sensors, speakers, and call-in switches can
all be used with any of the 16 ports. The SS16 is designed to be a distributed component, and as
such can be wall- or ceiling- mounted. SS16’s are housed in a metal cabinet similar to a network
hub, and are easily used for retrofitted in existing installations (requires field wiring to be adapted
to RJ45 terminated CAT5 cable). Up to eight SS16’s can be added to each CH1000 system for a
total of 128 ports. Each SS16 requires only one CAT5/RJ45 termination between each SS16 and
the central cabinet for basic operation

Display Administrative Console (DA1)
Each DA1 provides a control center for all paging, intercom, security, and telephone
communications. The DA1 has a visual as well as an audible indicator for incoming calls. The
built-in memory allows for 8 speed dials and 99 stored numbers in a visual directory. The screen is
backlit and adjustable for the attendants convenience. Screen icons simplify identifying the current
status of the DA1. Six soft keys are provided for use with the dynamic menu system. The easy to
use menu system allows for distributing program sources and pages to zones or all speakers
without the need to remember long complicated number sequences. Arrow keys are provided to
allow for easy scrolling through the call queue, directory, and menus.

Basic operation provides two independent audio channels, +12VDC power, and RS-485 data transmission to each SS16 over a
single CAT5 cable.
