General Description
The Telex BTR-24 System is a full duplex (simultaneous talk and
listen), multi-channel, wireless intercom system. The system
offers a complete solution for up to 10, full duplex users per base
station, many more if in push-to-transmit mode. With fast and easy
set-up, durable beltpacks, 64 bit audio encryption, and
professional grade headsets.
The main components of this system consists of the TR-24
beltpack and the BTR-24 base station.
The TR-24 beltpack offers the user three audio channels; Audio
Channel 1, Audio Channel 2, and both audio's combined. The user
can talk and listen on these channels or just turn off the talk button
and listen only.
The beltpacks have the ability to communicate with each other in
wireless, wired or master wireless modes. In wireless mode,
beltpack communicate to each other using the base station as a
relay. In wired mode, beltpacks turn off their wireless ability and
communicate via an ethernet cable or a buildings ethernet
backbone. Finally in master wireless mode, a beltpack can become
base station and serve as the wireless relay for coverage over an
area.
The beltpack uses an internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery that will
provide up to 8 hours of uninterrupted operation.
The BTR-24 base station can support up to ten TR-24 beltpacks in
full duplex mode and more if in push-to-transmit mode. The base
station provides a central relay location which handles the audio
traffic between beltpacks. The built-in base station intelligence
called ClearScan
™
automatically selects the best RF (Radio
Frequency) channel for communications on start-up. The base
station also uses an internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery that will
provide up to 10 hours of uninterrupted operation.
