Switch Input Operation
The RIB-600Analog will play a a pre-recorded voice message when a change in the Switch Input is detected. The White and Brown
wires on the
9-Conductor Interface Cable
are used to connect the Switch Input to a door switch, or any other device where switch
closure detection is desired. The cable assembly also provides connection to the Relay Switch closure output.
Using the Switch Input to Test your System
The Ritron model RPB-1AG pushbutton is available for use with Switch
Input Operation.
When programmed for “Switch On Only” operation,
simply press the pushbutton to play the pre-recorded Switch On message
over your PA system to test for PA activation, volume, or any other
programmed attribute. A separate test should also be performed using a
radio to transmit to the RIB-600Analog receiver.
Switch Message Operation
• The Switch On Message is played when the Switch Input is pulled low.
• The Switch Off Message is played when the Switch Input is released from ground.
• Switch Input messages will not be played if the radio channel is busy, but instead will wait for the channel to clear before playing.
• Switch Input messages are played after the Pre-announce tone if the radio is programmed for this features.
• If the RIB-600Analog is programmed for Delay Message Playback or Recorded Message Repeat the Switch Input message will be
delayed and repeated the same as an incoming message.
• Switch Input messages can be up to 6 seconds long.
