Headphone Output:
The UltraSound system is designed to easily drive twelve or more 300
to 1000 ohm headsets. Noise attenuating, full cushion headsets, such
as the Sigtronics ST-8, or ST-48 are recommended for best results. The
UltraSound system incorporates an automatic headphone limiting
circuit to eliminate the possibility of painful spurious radio or noise
spikes from getting to the headsets and into your ears.
Universal Radio Interface is designed to accommodate virtually
any type of communication radio. Adjustments for radio receive level
and transmit microphone level are provided to perfectly match the
UltraSound system to your particular radio.
Automatic Sidetone Generation allows everyone on the vehicle
to hear both sides of the radio conversations.
Excellent RF Immunity guarantees clean, clear, radio communi-
cations.
Standardized for use with Sigtronics single plug headsets (ie. ST-8,
ST-48, ST-18).
Model Differences:
The UT-12S is used in applications requiring up to twelve persons
at one time on intercom. Four of the twelve have radio transmit
capability. The UT-12S is designed for use with a single vehicle radio.
The UT-12D is identical to the UT-12S but can accommodate two
separate vehicle radios.

Installation of the Sigtronics UltraSound System is a four step process:
I. Mount the intercom unit.
(INTERCOM CHASSIS INSTALLATION)
II. Install the headset jacks and PTT switches.
(HEADSET JACK AND PTT SWITCH INSTALLATION)
III. Wire the jacks and PTT switches.
(HEADSET JACK AND PTT SWITCH WIRING)
IV. Wire the radio(s).
(RADIO HOOK UP)
I. INTERCOM CHASSIS INSTALLATION
Intercom Placement:
There are a few factors to consider when selecting a mounting
location for the UltraSound Intercom chassis:
1. The unit should be placed in such a way that the controls on the
front of the unit can be easily seen and operated. Most commonly,
this will be near the vehicle’s communication radio controls.
2. The Intercom unit is primarily designed to be dash mounted. It
can be mounted on top of the dash or hang below the dash or
vehicle ceiling. The mounting bracket is adjustable to allow for
various mounting angles.
