Introduction
The E-2010 Central Control Station is a full function, easy to use, activation and status display unit for
Whelen’s family of High Power Voice and Siren System products. The E-2010 uses Whelen’s standard,
reliable
10 digit DTMF communication protocol
.
The E-2010 is an attractive, desktop unit designed for simple connection to a base station transmitter.
The E-2010 has a sealed membrane keyboard and a low power liquid crystal display. The typical warning
activation sequence consists of selecting a
Call Key
or following a four step process.
There are 62
Call Keys
, which allow the user to program and execute pre-defined scenarios. Sixteen of
the Call Keys are “Hot Keys”, while 40 of the Call Keys are auxiliary or low use functions. In addition,
there are two Call Keys activated by Time-of-Day and four Call Keys Activated by Remote Activation
inputs (as described in a later section).
Individual selection and activation may be done as follows:
1. Make a
Menu Selection
2. Enter the four digit
Address
.
3. Select the
Channel
.
4. Press the
Send
button.
The user may select from different command, control, status or test functions. The E-2010 supports up to
10,000 unique addresses.
The liquid crystal display (LCD) is a 4 line by 40 character configuration. The display is backlit for easy
reading in low ambient light. When the E-2010 is not in use, a running 24 hour clock, day of the week
and a stand by message are displayed.
Internal batteries are continuously “trickle” charged, to provide long life. The E-2010 will maintain its
internal clock for up to 3 months after being unplugged. The E-2010 comes with a UL listed, plug in, AC
wall mount power supply.
Two rear panel, two-piece, screw terminal connectors are available for field wiring to two base station
transceivers. Each connector supports transformer coupled audio, a Push To Talk closure, Squelch
monitor input (active high or low), and Channel Grant input for trunking systems.
A software interface with a PC stores all communication activity to the hard drive. In addition, this
software supports advanced data base handling for printing and manipulation of data.
