Viking’s model
CTG-2A
is a networked clock controlled tone/message
generator designed to provide accurately timed tones and/or messages
over your existing paging system. This provides a cost effective way of
signaling school period changes, factory shifts, breaks, lunch periods,
etc. The
CTG-2A
has four programmable trigger inputs which are ideal
for triggering emergency alert tones/messages to indicate fire
evacuation, severe weather, lock down, all clear or can be used in store
caster applications for “customer service required” announcements, etc.
The
CTG-2A
can also be used as a master clock to synchronize Viking
CL Series
wireless clocks (see DOD# 466).
The
CTG-2A
comes equipped with up to 6 minutes of CD quality WAV
file audio storage for up to 14 different tone/messages. The unit is
factory loaded with common school, business and factory tones but can
be programmed with your custom tones/messages or updated from the
list of WAV files from the Viking web site.
The
CTG-2A
can be programmed with up to 14 schedules and up to
1,000 events allowing you to program an entire year or multiple years
of schedules in advance. The
CTG-2A
’s extremely accurate time base
can be manually synchronized, synchronized with 50 or 60 Hz power
or can be programmed to periodically synchronize to
network or
internet time.
• Signal the beginning and end of class periods, breaks and lunch periods for schools
• Signal the beginning and end of shifts, breaks and lunch periods for factories/businesses
• Provide trigger controlled emergency alert messages for fire, flood, severe weather, lock
down, etc.
• Provide messages at specific times for store sales, promotions, closing times, airport
loading zones, etc.
• Provide Auxiliary contact activation at specific times for specific durations for controlling
lights, cameras, unlocking doors/gates, etc.
• The
CTG-2A
can also be used as a Master Clock to synchronize
Viking CL Series
wireless clocks (
DOD# 466
)
The
CTG-2A
comes with programming software and a network port to
allow PC programming of timed events, schedules, clock
synchronization, wave file download, message volume, day light
savings time, auxiliary relay control, etc.
Installation requires the assistance of a
Network Administrator / IT Technician.
