OPTIONAL ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT
Several options are available for the Ritron 6 Series OUTPOST® Callbox. These options, individually, or in
combination with one another can greatly enhance the functionality of the callbox as well as the overall communication
system. Available options include:
• Entry Keypad – RQX-156-XT-KP and RQX-456-XT-KP “keypad versions” of the 6 Series Outpost callbox are
available to allow local access with up to 500 unique codes. This version hosts a 2x6 DTMF keypad mechanically
mounted to the stainless steel faceplate.

controller and 8 AH rechargeable battery all housed in a rugged, ready-to-mount enclosure.
• R-STROBE - The R-STROBE is a powerful strobe light, giving a visual indication of a callbox in use. The R-
STROBE is available in both AC (R-STROBE) and DC versions (R-STROBE-DC).
• RCIM-1000 - The RCIM-1000 MDC-1200 encoder board allows each callbox to be assigned a unique unit ID
number.
• GGT-1 - The GGT-1 DTMF decoder/relay board allows remote control of the on-board relay (e.g. Gateguard
®
operation) with a DTMF keypad equipped radio.
