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.
