Seamless Interface for Third-Party Sirens and Systems
ATI Systems’ Remote Controller (RC) is engineered to bridge ATI emergency communication systems with a diverse range of third-party sirens, alarms, and control systems. For facilities with existing sirens and alert systems, integrating an RC can significantly enhance their functionality and responsiveness. Whether upgrading older, one-way siren systems to modern two-way communication networks or adding sophisticated monitoring and control capabilities, the RC provides a pivotal enhancement to any emergency alert system.
ATI’s Remote Controller (RC) offers seamless integration with a wide range of third-party systems through multiple input and output interfaces. These capabilities allow for flexible control, monitoring, and communication with existing infrastructure.
Integration Capabilities
Equipped with up to eight relays, three current sensors and DC voltage monitoring, Siren monitoring interface can activate, control, and monitor the status of almost any existing siren, and can also be used to convert older, one-way siren systems to two-way.
The RC can interface to a fire control panel and transmit status information to the ATI control, station, which in turn can broadcast alert tones, pre-recorded and live voice messages through the fire control panel speakers.
A balanced 600 ohms / line level adjustable audio output provides an interface to existing public address and voice evacuation systems. The PA Interface allows for remote activations of alert tones, pre-recorded and live voice messages, delivered over an existing audio system.
The Push Button Board supervises and monitors up to 10 directly connected remote push buttons (expandable in groups of 10). The system is configurable to play either a systemwide alert tone and message, or area-specific alert tones and messages when a push button is pressed at a remote location. The push buttons can be color-coded to indicate different activations.
Similar to the hardwired option, the wireless push button receiver supervises and monitors up to 16 wireless push buttons using 900 MHz spread spectrum technology. The system is configurable, and the push buttons can be color-coded as described above.
The RC can monitor weather station conditions by receiving digital and/or analog signals from the station and transmitting them to the control station.
The RC can connect to a telephone system extension to deliver audio alerts via handsets or overhead paging speakers.
The Radio transfer interface allows the re-broadcast of emergency alert tones and messages on a second radio frequency. It is mainly used to broadcast the notifications to hand-held radios.
The RC can be configured to control and monitor indoor and outdoor alpha-numeric signs. The signs can be activated and changed remotely.
The strobe light interface allows the RC to control and monitor strobe lights.
The Gate Control Interface is programmed to supervise and control remote access gates. It is useful for both preventing and reporting unauthorized access to a secure area, as well as for opening and closing gates during emergencies.
Programmed to control and operate a traffic light in response to specific emergencies, the RC is best used to prevent traffic from entering a hazardous area.
The RC can be configured to support interfaces tailored to specific requirements, enabling integration with a wide range of third-party systems and equipment for enhanced functionality and interoperability. Custom interfaces can include sensors, communication protocols, or any other application-specific equipment.
