General Description
Introduction to the Informer TAR
The Informer Tone Alert Receiver (TAR) is an emergency alerting device available
in VHF and UHF bands from 150-170 MHz and 450-470 MHz. It is also capable of
decoding multiple formats (such as, single-tone, two-tone, DTMF and optionally
EAS or Federal Digital) at the same time. These features enable the Informer to be
easily integrated into virtually any new or existing warning system.
The Informer TAR is a robust radio receiver with a loud speaker output designed
specifically for warning applications. You can wall mount the unit or have it sit on a
desktop. The Informer TAR comes with an attached antenna that you can remove to
connect to an outside antenna. The Informer TAR has a built-in battery and charger to
provide reliable operation even in the event of an AC power failure.
You can pre-program the Informer TAR with up to four separate warning tones plus a
channel monitor function for live PA announcements. Two programmable relay
outputs and a 600 Ohm audio output are available. You can use these outputs to
control other equipment such as to tie into external PA systems.
You can program up to four separate RF channels into the Informer TAR. The
channels are easily selected from the built in membrane keypad. Each of the RF
frequencies must be within the allowable frequency spread for the RF band being
used. Refer to the “Specifications” section on page 7.
The Informer is completely programmable through a built-in RS232 serial port from
an easy to use Windows
®
-based software program. All data is stored in non-volatile
memory. Updates to the application software and user specific configuration data is
through the serial port.
The Informer series receivers meet all requirements defined by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the CSEPP programs.
