.............................................................................

External +12 VDC Power Fail Alert Tone

................................................ (PC or FP)

By selecting the +12 VDC Power Fail Alert Tone feature

the callbox will look for a loss of the +12 VDC power

source. The callbox will immediately transmit an Alert

Tone to notify personnel that the +12 VDC source has

been lost and is now operating on battery back-up. The

callbox will transmit an Alert Tone once every hour until

the +12 VDC power source is restored or until the back-

up batteries are exhausted. Even if this feature is NOT

selected, it will always revert to Back-up Battery power,

see page 4 for details.

RQX Reset Time ........................ (PC or FP)

Set from the factory for 10 seconds, the RQX Reset Time

can be Field Programmed to 9 different times ranging

from 5 seconds to 4 minutes, and PC programmed for 5-

255 seconds. A shorter RQX Reset Time will result in

increased battery life. In standard Automatic Turn-Off

operation a longer RQX Reset Time will allow more time

for a response before the Callbox turns off.

RQX Reset Time defines the Inactivity Time allowed

before the Callbox:

• Turns Off if Automatic Turn-Off is ENABLED.

• Enters Battery Saver mode if Battery Saver is

ENABLED.

• Resets 2-Tone Paging Decode.

• Automatically opens the Switch output.

Microphone Gain ....................... (PC or FP)

The Microphone can be placed in HIGH or NORMAL

gain mode. With the microphone in high gain mode quiet

and distant voices will be heard. This mode of operation

will increase background noise transmitted by the

Callbox.

The Microphone gain is set to NORMAL mode by default.

Leave the microphone in normal gain mode for the

majority of applications where the user is talking directly

into the Callbox. This mode of operation will decrease

background noise transmitted by the Callbox.

Listen In ................................... (PC or FP)

Listen In allows remote activation of the Callbox

transmitter for a programmed period of time when the

correct 2-Tone code is decoded.

This feature, turned OFF by default, can be Field

Programmed to 4 different transmit times ranging from 5-

30 seconds and PC programmed for 1-255 seconds.

The 2-Tone Decode Code required to activate the

feature can be Field Programmed from the 9 different 2-

Tone Decode Codes in Table 4, or PC programmed for

any 2-Tone frequency pair between 300-1500 Hz.

Busy Channel TX Inhibit............. (PC or FP)

With this feature enabled the Callbox cannot transmit

when there is a received signal. A “busy signal” will be

heard on the Callbox speaker when the PTT is pressed

and a received signal is present. Busy Channel TX

Inhibit is disabled from the factory.

Sensor/Contact Closure Input....................

The Callbox will send a warning tone when a change in

the Sensor Input is detected. The Sensor Input will

respond to an OPEN or CLOSED switch.

Transmit Beep Enable ..........................(PC)

This feature is turned on from the factory to provide a

short beep in the Callbox speaker any time the ON/PTT

button is pressed. This assures the Callbox user that the

radio has turned on and is ready to transmit their

message. With this feature disabled the Callbox will only

beep when the radio is first turned on.

RX Courtesy Beep Enable.....................(PC)

In high noise environments it is sometimes difficult to

determine when a received message has ended. With

the RX Courtesy Beep enabled the Callbox will sound a

short beep on the speaker at the end of each received

transmission.

Narrow or Wide Band Operation............(PC)

A number of table frequencies, which are Field

Programmable, offer you a choice between narrow (12.5

kHz) or wide (25 kHz) band operation. See “TABLE 1:

PROGRAMMABLE FREQUENCY CODES” on page 12. The

callbox automatically makes the narrow or wide band

adjustment depending on the frequency code selected.

The callbox can be PC programmed with Ritron RQX

software to operate either narrow or wide band on any

custom frequency within the specified band.

TX Time Out Time ...............................(PC)

Set from the factory for 60 seconds, the TX Time Out

Time can be programmed for 1-255 seconds. This sets

the length of time the Callbox can transmit continuously.

If the ON/PTT button is held down longer then the TX

Time Out Time will allow, the radio will stop transmitting

and a “Busy Signal” will be heard in the speaker until the

button is released.

DTMF or Selcall ANI ............................(PC)

The RQX can be programmed to send a 1-9 digit DTMF

or 3-7 digit Selcall ANI code at the beginning of each

transmission for radio identification.
