INTRODUCTION
Overview
The ACT (Always Clear Talking) intercom system from FRC has updated noise
cancellation circuitry that essentially eliminates acoustical background noise. The
compact control module is separate from the speaker box to provide installation
flexibility. Multiple mounting options that only require a two-wire connection between
stations, and hands-free remote operation make this intercom especially useful for
aerial applications. A high level output signal ensures high quality sound even when
the wires are routed through the aerial turntable.
The intercom system is designed to meet rescue and fire service requirements for
a voice communications system. It is weather-resistant and specifically designed for
outside use on fire service apparatus.
The PTT (Push-To-Talk) station is always in receive mode. The PTT button must
be pressed to transmit.
The hands free station is always in transmit mode. To talk on the intercom the
operator speaks and the intercom transmits. It will be in receive mode when another
station is transmitting.
Since March 2012 all ACT intercom control modules have included a program that
allows for setting the volume level at power-up. Two modes are available:
Power-up at the last used volume setting;
Power-up at a pre-set volume.
