Speaker Mute
The speaker mute relay is used to mute the speaker when a sequence is being received. The relay will only activate if
precode digits are programmed. Once a valid sequence of precode digits has been received the relay will turn on until
the remainder of the sequence is received.
The relay can also be controlled by the speaker on / off button. This button is a toggle, if the speaker mute relay is off
and the button is pressed, the relay is turned on and vice versa.
Muting of sequences and use of the speaker on / off button should work together as follows: if the relay is off (muted)
because of the button and a sequence is received, nothing should happen to the relay. If the relay is on (unmuted) and a
sequence is received, the relay should turn off (mute) for the duration of the sequence.
When the relay is on, the speaker on LED should be lit. Also at power up the relay should be turned on (unmuted).
Variation:
From firmware version 1.2 onward, the mute button can be enabled or disabled. When disabled,
pressing the button has no function except to change the clock.
Serial Output
The RS232 port is designed to allow connection of the AR
i
-195e to a serial printer or a computer. The computer
connection can operate in a polled environment to support multiple channel operation when using a dispatch software
system.
Parallel Output
The parallel port is designed to connect to a printer. It requires no setup parameters. Each received sequence is sent as
one line of text as follows:
•
Sequence type; “Call:”, “autoCall:” or “Emergency:”
•
Received mobile identity (ID)
•
If status digits were received they are displayed preceded by a dash
•
Two spaces,
•
Date
•
Time
•
Each line would appear as: “Call: 12345-67 6/26/96 14:29:34”.
•
Information is always sent out the parallel port unless the printer indicates an error.
Real Time Clock
An internal clock is included to time stamp received sequences when printed. The clock is set by using the
next call,
cancel alert
and
speaker on / off
buttons as follows:
•
To increase the hours, press and hold
cancel alert
, momentarily pressing
next call
increments hours
•
To decrease the hours, press and hold
next call,
momentarily pressing
cancel alert
decreases hours
•
To increase the minutes, press and hold
cancel alert
, momentarily pressing
speaker on / off
increments
minutes
•
To decrease the minutes, press and hold speaker on / off first, then momentarily pressing cancel alert decreases
minutes
Time can also be set using programming parameters. Time is displayed when no sequences are in the queue and at
power up. It is sent to the printer as part of the received sequence string. Time is always in the 24 hour format.
