INTRODUCTION

ATTENTION INSTALLER: To assure a trouble free installation, 
please read these entire instructions through once before 
beginning.

The Sigtronics UltraSound Tactical Intercom System, when used with 
Sigtronics noise attenuating headsets provides the tactical transport 
crew with clear, hands free, voice activated (VOX) intercom. The 
system also allows full radio monitoring at all headset positions as 
well as radio transmit capability from selected headsets via Push-
To-Talk (PTT) switches.

Applications: The unit is designed for tactical, rescue and mobile 
command center vehicles.

Voice Activated Intercom (VOX) feature allows “hands free” com-
munication between headsets connected to the UltraSound unit. 
Start speaking and the intercom turns on instantly to relay your 
message clearly to the other headsets. Stop talking and it turns off 
to reduce background noise.

Up to Four Headset Positions can be connected to the UltraSound 
unit models UT-4S and UT-4D. Up to six for models UT-6S and UT-6D. 
More headset positions can be achieved by wiring additional jacks in 
parallel. Only one headset, however, can be plugged into paralleled 
jacks at one time. In the case of the Driver, he plugs his headset into 
his jack while driving. He then unplugs and plugs into the Driver’s 
Auxiliary jack when he arrives on scene.
