1. OVERVIEW
The AC-16 device is a small remote alarm system for analog extension of PBX (with DTMF dial
tones) that doesn’t require an external power supply since it is self-powered from the telephone
line. It can be used to signal states of emergency in hospital rooms, hotel rooms, or service centers
with people who can get help by pressing a button available to them. AC-16 can also be used in
alarm/signalling systems in industrial/corporate environments. The device, which must be
connected in series to the internal telephone extension, is responsible to inform the staff that
identifies the source of the call from the internal phone number of origin (even in the case of
multiple devices installed in the same department). The cyclical report of the alarm status can be
done with a simple tone or with a standard voice message that can be customizable in factory to
customer specifications. The maximum length of the message is 16 seconds. During
customization, it is possible to split the message into two sections of a maximum of 8 seconds
each, playable separately or linked together. This feature is useful for example to play a message
in two different languages choosing during device programming the voice message in the desired
language.
