Station Transponder Unit Functions
The Station Transponder Unit keeps the PA open after it plays the alert tones and signals
the IP FSA Server that the PA is available for a voice announcement.
The current status of units is indicated on the front panel of Station Transponder Units
with a column of LEDs for each unit. Two buttons at the bottom of each column enable
station personnel to update unit status manually.
Each Station Transponder Unit has a serial printer port that can be used to generate hard
copy of text messages sent to the station during an alert.
A handset option is available for Model 6203 units to provide station personnel with a
means to communicate by voice with dispatchers. This is a half-duplex, talk-back feature.
It is intended to support administrative conversations. The handset may also be used for
local access to the fire station PA system.
Panel Description
The front panel of a Model 6203 consists of eight push buttons and 30 LEDs. All eight of
the buttons and 28 of the 30 LEDs are arranged into four columns. The columns consist of
two buttons and seven LEDs each. Each column of buttons and LEDs is associated with
either the station itself or a unit assigned to the station.
The first column on the left can be associated with either the whole station or one of the
station's units (vehicles). The remaining three columns represent individual station units.
A Model 6204 can be used for representing four additional units.
Two additional LEDs on the front panel of the Model 6203/6204 (labeled XMIT and PA)
are associated with the operation of the Model 6203/6204 itself.
Buttons
The Model 6203 receives commands from the FSA Server and sends status back. The
buttons on the front panel of the Model 6203 are for changing the status of the station or
units. Pressing one of these buttons changes the status of the entity it represents. When a
button being pressed at the Model 6203 results in a status change, that causes an
immediate data transmission to the FSA Server, updating the displays of all the FSA
Console clients in the system.
LEDs
The LEDs on the front panel of the Model 6203 are used to show current status. This
status is transmitted back to the FSA Server, which sends it to the FSA Console clients to
be displayed.
There are another two LEDs at the bottom of the panel. These two LEDs are not
associated with station or unit status. The XMIT LED on the left is lit whenever the Model
6203 is transmitting to the FSA Server. The PA LED is lit when the Model 6203 has
turned on its relays to steer audio it is receiving to the PA system at the fire station.
