The switch output is a simple 1-Amp relay contact closure that
can be used to OPEN and CLOSE a gate, switch on a light,
sound an alarm or any other application where remote control
of an ON/OFF switch is required. The OUTPOST
®
Callbox can
be programmed to OPEN and CLOSE the Switch Output when
one of the following programmed conditions is met.
The Callbox can be programmed to alternately OPEN and
CLOSE the switch using a single 2-tone code, or can be PC
programmed for separate OPEN and CLOSE 2-tone codes.
Field programming offers nine 2-tone codes that correspond to
field programmable 2-tone codes available in select RITRON
portable and base radios.
No Switch .......................................... (PC or FP)
Select this option for no switch operation.
Switch On When Called ....................... (PC or FP)
With this option selected the switch will CLOSE when the
Callbox first receives a call. The switch will remain CLOSED
until the ON/PTT button is pressed or the RQX Reset Time
expires. This option is not applicable if the Callbox is
programmed for Automatic Turn-Off.
Switch On When Callbox in Use........... (PC or FP)
This option will CLOSE the switch when the Callbox first sends
or receives a call. The switch will remain closed until the RQX
Reset Time expires, which also turns the radio off if it is
programmed for Automatic Turn-Off.
Switch On When Active with Turn-Off Code ............ (PC)
This option operates the same as Switch On When Callbox in
Use with the added ability to OPEN the switch when a unique
2-Tone Turn-Off Code is received. Unlike the Switch On When
Callbox in Use feature, the switch will not OPEN when the RQX
Reset Time expires unless the Callbox is programmed for
Automatic Turn-Off. See “2-T
ONE DECODE (RECEIVE) SETTINGS”
on page 21 for details on programming a 2-Tone Turn-Off code.

CLOSED for the programmed period of time, programmable for
1-255 seconds. See “2-TONE DECODE (RECEIVE) SETTINGS” on
page 21 for details on programming a 2-Tone Decode Code.

if the switch has been OPENED and a DOUBLE BEEP if the
switch has been CLOSED. The switch will open when the
Callbox turns off if it is programmed for Automatic Turn-Off.
See “2-T
ONE DECODE (RECEIVE) SETTINGS” on page 21 for
details on programming a 2-Tone Decode Code.

Callbox turns off if it is programmed for Automatic Turn-Off.
See “2-T
ONE DECODE (RECEIVE) SETTINGS” on page 21 for
details on programming a 2-Tone Decode Code and a 2-Tone
