CI-BUSS Collaborative Intercom Components
CI-ODC-1
– Operator Desk Console
The Tech Works CI-ODC-1 Operator Desk Console includes a
professional cardioid, condenser, gooseneck microphone, and a
speaker. Buttons and indicators provide control to allow the operator to
just listen to the CI-Buss communication or to talk, and collaborate
hands free. A headset jack on the side of the console allows connection
of a local operator headset such as the CS-540 wireless unit.
Setup is plug and play with an integral speaker level control to adjust
the listening level. No further adjustments should be required for
standard operation. Integral VOX and ALC allow for full duplex
conversations without feedback.
Internal, installer settable, jumper options allow the functionality of the CI-ODC-1 to be Hands-
Free or Push-To-Talk. The Push-To-Talk button can be either latching (Push On, Push Off) or
momentary, meaning the microphone is active as long as the operator holds the button down.
The CI-ODC-1 is a CI-BUSS Master device designed to control other units or functional blocks in
a system. If there is a device in the sy
stem that has a “Call” input, like the CI-MSI-22, when a
contact closure on the Call input sends a Buss Call signal the CI-ODC-1 will emit a tone sequence
to let the Operator know that someone is trying to get their attention.
CI-ODC-4
– Operator Desk Console
The CI-ODC-4 allows a single operator location to communicate
selectively with up to 4 separate systems in 4 separate rooms. It includes
a professional cardioid, condenser, gooseneck microphone, and a
speaker. Buttons and indicators provide control to allow the operator to just
listen to the CI-Buss communication or to talk, and collaborate hands free.
A headset jack on the side of the console allows connection of a local
operator headset such as the CS-540 wireless unit.
Setup is plug and play with an integral speaker level control to adjust the
listening level. No further adjustments should be required for standard
operation. Integral VOX and ALC allow for full duplex conversations
without feedback.
The CI-ODC-4 can be used in a small Intercom when connected to a single CI-Buss product or
as an addition to larger systems using microphones, speakers. The CI-ODC-4 can also function
as an audio combiner to allow multiple rooms to collaborate.
Internal, installer settable, jumper options allow the functionality of the CI-ODC-4 to be Hands-
Free or Push-To-Talk. The Push-To-Talk button can be either latching (Push On, Push Off) or
momentary, meaning the microphone is active as long as the operator holds the button down.
The CI-ODC-4 is a CI-BUSS Master device designed to control other units or functional blocks in
a system. If there is a device
in the system that has a “Call” input, like the CI-MSI-22, when a
contact closure on the Call input sends a buss Call signal the CI-ODC-4 will emit a tone sequence
to let the Operator know which room is trying to get their attention.
