The Veetronix Tone Alert Receiver is designed to receive 2-Tone encoded
emergency messages much like the USAlert WatchDog and WatchDog LT pagers. Primarily a desktop
device, the Tone Alert Receiver can also be used in mobile operations and comes with its own
mounting hardware. A front panel Monitor/Tone switch allows the user to monitor all network
traffic in Monitor mode or only messages intended for the receiver in Tone mode. The receiver
will alert in either position when programmed tones are received. A Remote Switching
Output (RSO) allows the Tone Alert Receiver to be connected to devices like sirens, alarms, speaker
systems and many more. An in-line backup battery pack that uses 8 standard “AA” alkaline batteries
is included for power fail protection.
The Veetronix is a single channel synthesized receiver, operating in the
Lowband (29 -54 MHz), VHF (136 – 174), or UHF (406 - 512) frequency bands. The front panel
has an On/Off/Volume control, a Squelch control, a Tone/Monitor switch, a Reset switch, and
a Power/Alert LED. The back panel has connections for the optional RSO Relay contacts, a BNC
antenna jack, an external speaker jack, and the power jack. If an external speaker is
connected, the internal speaker will disconnect. The unit measures 5.5” (w) x 6.9” (d) x 2.2” (h) and
weighs approximately 1 lb.
An optional programming kit is available for the Model 2TR9B Tone Alert Receiver and allows you to
set channel frequency, tones, tone timing, RSO Relay time and more. The programming kit includes
software, cable and keypad. DTMF and CTCSS decoders are also optional. The backup battery pack and
the Remote Switching Output are optional features from the manufacturer, but OSI is including both
as standard features of the receiver. The RSO option has two relay outputs, both
rated 5A @120VAC. Each output can be programmed to activate on separate tones or together on
the same tone. They can also be programmed for a momentary output or an output up to 20 minutes
in 5 second increments.
