station. (EAS-1/CG Special Features)
- Alert messages can be originated from a remote location with a telephone DTMF keypad.
- 5 bi-directional RS232 inputs/outputs for computer modem, remote sign board, character
generator and auxiliary panel
- 6 Audio inputs on standard models. All audio inputs and outputs are transformer
isolated from encoder-decoder board.
- Manual or automatic mode keypad selectable.
- Automatic interruption of stereo program lines when pre-selected header code is received
while in automatic operation for insertion of alert message on transmitter.
- 2 minutes of digital audio storage (5 khz)
- 5 programmable relays to supply contact closures to handshake with automation equipment
or signal other equipment.
- 25 pin parallel printer port for external printer to keep E.A.S. log.
- An auxiliary balanced 600 ohm output through a co-axial BNC fitting to either go
directly into the FM exciter or modulate a second transmitter.
- Alert is displayed on a 4 line 40 character backlighted LCD display for rapid
interpretation of alert message. Alert message can also be scrolled on a remote sign
board, a computer screen or with a character generator on a video monitor.
