qtm9322b.pm5 ABOUT THE QUICK TALKTM WIRELESS VOICE ALARM REPORTER GENERAL INFORMATION require AC line power. The Quick Talk is a wireless radio transmitter that reports changes in the status of switches by transmitting user-recorded voice messages to two-way mobile, portable or base station radios. Quick Talk transmits your voice message when the switch change occurs, and at intervals you select.
qtm9322b.pm5 IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS 1 ANTENNA CONNECTOR The antenna radiates radio signals. Before using Quick Talk, make sure the antenna is fastened securely to this connector. See page 21. 2 TELEPHONE JACK The modular telephone jack provides temporary connection to a standard pulse or rotary mode telephone unit, which is used by the owner to program Quick Assist voice messages and other settings.
qtm9322b.pm5 PROGRAMMING YOUR QUICK TALK FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT QUICK TALK: Do I have to program my Quick Talk? You may not need to program your Quick Talk at all. If you purchased a Quick Talk that is factory-programmed to your radio system frequency (check the Color Dots on your radios and the Quick Talk), and you do not use a form of Quiet Call coded squelch, you can connect your switch to the terminals marked "Switch #1", install the batteries and start using Quick Talk.
qtm9322b.pm5 PROGRAMMING YOUR QUICK TALK TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY What is my Radio System Frequency? Ritron pioneered the Color Dot system to simplify the identification of radio system frequencies for Ritron Jobcom radios. Color Dots are placed on the bottoms of and inside the enclosures of all Jobcom radios. Other manufacturers have also adopted this idea. To identify your assigned frequency if your radios do not have a color dot, locate a label identifying the receiver frequency in megahertz (MHz).
qtm9322b.pm5 PROGRAMMING THE QUIET CALL SUB-AUDIBLE CODED SQUELCH INTERFERENCE ELIMINATOR What is Quiet Call Sub Audible Coded Squelch? The Quick Talk radio transmitter is compatible with two standard communications industry sub-audible signaling formats: QC® (Quiet Call Interference Eliminator), and DQCTM (Digital Quiet Call Interference Eliminator).
qtm9322b.pm5 PROGRAMMING DIGITAL QUIET CALL SUB-AUDIBLE CODED SQUELCH INTERFERENCE ELIMINATOR What is Digital Quiet Call? Digital Quiet Call (DQC) is a digital sub-audible coded squelch system. Do I need to program my Quick Talk with a Digital Quiet Call code? If your radio system does not use Digital Quiet Call, or any other tradename equivalent, skip this section and go to the next programming feature. TO PROGRAM A DIGITAL QUIET CALL CODE: a.
qtm9322b.pm5 SETTING NARROW OR WIDE-BAND CHANNELS Determine the frequency of your radios. This can be done by checking with your radio dealer, or if you are using Color Dot radios, match the color dot to the frequency table on Page 2. As a general rule, if your frequency has three or less numbers past the decimal point, your radio is set for wideband. Example 154.570 MHZ, 462.625 MHz. If your frequency has more than three numbers past the decimal point, it is probably set for narrowband. Example: 467.
qtm9322b.pm5 J103 JUMPER SETTINGS FOR BATTERY TYPE NOTE: When programming, use either fresh Alkaline batteries (or an external power supply), to power the Quick Talk. When programming is finished, you may either insert Ni-Cd batteries or leave Alkaline batteries in place. WARNING: DO NOT attempt to charge Alkaline batteries from an external +12 VDC power supply. When powering Quick Talk with ALKALINE BATTERIES, set J103 as follows to disconnect the charging current paths: a.
qtm9322b.pm5 TEST YOUR SWITCH'S OPEN AND CLOSED CONDITIONS What is the purpose of testing my switch? In Quick Talk's basic operating mode, you may record two (2) voice messages for the Quick Talk to transmit. One message is transmitted when the switch is Opened and the other is transmitted when the switch is Closed. Each message must be eight (8) seconds or less in length.
qtm9322b.pm5 RECORDING VOICE PHRASES FOR YOUR SWITCH CONDITIONS What is the purpose of Recording Voice Phrases? Recording customized voice phrases gives Quick Talk messages unmistakable meaning and significance. The standard factory prerecorded messages of "Switch Open" and "Switch Closed" require the listener to know how the switch works and what it does. However, when a user hears a custom message such as "Water pump three running hot", the meaning is clear.
qtm9322b.pm5 PROGRAMMING HOW MANY TIMES YOUR RECORDED VOICE PHRASES ARE REPEATED IN EACH TRANSMISSION What is the purpose of setting the number of times the Voice Phrase is repeated in each Transmission? Your previously recorded voice phrase can be programmed to repeat from one time to nine times in each Quick Talk radio transmission, depending on how you program this feature. More urgent messages may have more phrase repeats.
qtm9322b.pm5 PROGRAMMING A LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF SCHEDULED TRANSMISSIONS What is the purpose of limiting the number of times a scheduled voice message is transmitted? In the previous section, you have programmed the Quick Talk to transmit a switch status message at regular intervals. In this section, you can set a limit to the number of times the message will be transmitted at the scheduled intervals.
qtm9322b.pm5 RECORDING A UNIQUE LOW BATTERY MESSAGE TO IDENTIFY A QUICK TALK What is the purpose of recording a unique Voice Phrase for the Low Battery Message? When it senses the installed batteries are nearly run down, Quick Talk will transmit one time each hour the factory-programmed message: "Low Battery". If you maintain several Quick Talk transmitters within radio range of each other, you may customize this feature to easily determine which unit needs new batteries.
QUICK TALK ADVANCED FEATURES 1. PROGRAMMING NON-TABLE TRANSMITTER FREQUENCIES TO PROGRAM A FREQUENCY THAT IS NOT LISTED IN TABLE 1 ON PAGE 4. 1. Review the basic information in the manual. 2. Connect the telephone as shown. 3. Install six (6) new AA alkaline batteries as shown 4. Lift the telephone receiver and listen for the acknowledgement beep. 5. Dial 12 followed by the first six (6) digits of the desired frequency. DO NOT dial the seventh (7th) digit of a narrow bandwith (12.5 kHz) frequency.
QUICK TALK ADVANCED FEATURES 4. SETTING DEBOUNCE OPTIONS There are two modes of contact debounce; 1. Normal Debounce, and 2. Holdoff Debounce: 1. NORMAL DEBOUNCE is an option specifying that the switch must remain in its changed condition for a userspecified time period ("debounce"), before generating a message for the changed condition. EXAMPLE: A sensor is used to detect a car in a "No Parking" zone.
QUICK TALK ADVANCED FEATURES 5. MONITORING 4 - 20 mA SENSOR CURRENT LOOPS W/ ANALOG MODES TO USE QUICK TALK TO MONITOR 4-20 mA SENSOR CURRENT LOOPS WITH ANALOG INPUT MODES Quick Talk can act as a current sink after a resistor is connected between the Switch 1 positive and negative terminals. The resistance value is selected to scale the current to the permitted 0 - 5 Voltage range for the Switch 1 input to Quick Talk. See the following formula, and Fig8. 5 Volts (max.
QUICK TALK ADVANCED FEATURES SETTING ANALOG MODES (continued from page 17) 1. ANALOG INPUT MODE: Voltages above High Threshold Setpoint cause Switch 1 OPEN message to transmit. Voltages below Low Threshold Setpoint cause Switch 1 CLOSED message to transmit. The dead zonean area of hysteresis provided by the difference between High and Low Threshold Setpointsprevents unwanted messages, caused by noise or minor signal changes. See Fig9.
QUICK TALK ADVANCED FEATURES 8. RECORDING UNIQUE POWER FAILURE MESSAGES What is the purpose of recording a unique Voice Phrase for the Power Failure Message? When it senses power failure, Quick Talk transmits a factory-programmed "Power Failure" message no more often than once an hour. If you have several units grouped within radio range of one another, we recommend you customize messages to easily identify the specific unit.
QUICK TALK INSTALLATION WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED PROGRAMMING: 1. Hang up and disconnect the telephone from the internal jack on the Quick Talk. 2. Test the operation of the Quick Talk before putting it into service by activating the switch and listening to the message(s) received on your radio. 3. Replace the cover and (4) cover screws; snug down, but do not overtighten the screws. Excessive force can break the plastic enclosure material. NOTE: Refer to FIG-7 on the next page. 4.
