The  ICA-202D  is  the  most  versatile  Audio  Intercom 
available;  yet  it  is  also  the  easiest  to  integrate  into 
your design. With 20 watts of clean audio power at 25-
Volts  it  can  do  both  the  Intercom  and  the  Paging 
functions  in  most  facilities.  The  audio  quality  of  the 
ICA-202D is superb. Noise and distortion are very low. 
Selectable 

equalization 

optimizes 

voice 

communications. 

There  are  separate  controls  for  Audio  Level,  and 
Reach.  Once  set,  Automatic  Level  Control  (ALC) 
assures  the  speaker  level  remains  constant  over  a 
wide  dynamic  input  range.  The  Remote  user  may 
wander  throughout  the  room  and  still  be  heard  at  a 
nearly 

constant 

level 

without 

any 

operator 

adjustments. 

A  Privacy  Tone,  to  alert  the  remote  party  that 
someone  is  listening,  is  a  control  option.  If  selected 
the  privacy  tone  will  sound  every  20  seconds  unless 
the PTT is pressed. 

The logic interface is PLC compatible. Control options 
include  Remote  Operator  Listen  Level  control  from 
push  buttons  or  Touch  Screen,  Privacy  Tone,  Page, 
PTT, Mute, Activate, Shut Off, and Call Tone, which is 
automatically  routed  to  the  operator  speaker.  A  Line 
level output for recording is included. A separate Page 
line level output provides audio to paging amplifiers if 
required. A Page Pre-Announce Tone (jumper option) 
is available. 

All configuration settings are factory presets; only the 
speaker  levels  are  set  in  the  field.  The  microphone 
sensitivity  (Reach)  is  set  with  16  position  (3dB/Step) 
switches;  the  Speaker  Levels  are  adjusted  with  Back 
Panel Controls.
