General Description
Introduction
The Informer-IP Wall Mount is an intercom, a warning device, and an alarm initiation
point that connects to an Ethernet network. An internal speaker is used to provide clear
two-way voice communications between control and monitoring points and distributed
locations. At the Informer-IP, you can trigger two different alerts using the contact closure
input and the ALERT push button. Model I-IPW Series B of the Informer series added a
microSD card for storage of pre-recorded voice or tone messages.
The Informer-IP has an audio output for connecting to existing PA systems and two
relay outputs to control strobes or other devices. A RS232 port is available for driving an
optional scrolling message display. The Informer-IP provides seven standard alert tones
and over 17 hours of Voice/Tone recordings can be stored on the Informer-IP.
You can wall mount or recess the unit. You can power it through Power over Ethernet
(PoE) from a network, or through local AC power (use of strobe requires AC powering or
external powering of strobe). Using existing network infrastructure significantly lowers
installation costs and simplifies wide-scale deployments.
The Informer-IP provides an unmatched value for two-way indoor alert and notification
for schools, hospitals, police and fire stations, government facilities and industrial plants.
