Communication DCS15 RE

583520

Approval: Part of the EN 54-16 approval

The Digital Call Station DCS15 is used to select loudspeaker circuits as well as for the issuing of voice announcements and of various tones and/or alarms. It is equipped with 12 freely configurable keys, 13 LEDs and a swan neck microphone. The communication unit can be connected to a free DOM (Digital Output Module) DAL bus (Digital Audio Link) via a standard CAT5 cable. All audio signals as well as all control signals are transferred digitally.

Up to four Digital Call Stations can be connected to one DOM. Each Digital Call Station can simultaneously produce and receive different voice signal through-connections and control signals within the system. One digital call station can be relocated by up to 300 m via a CAT5 cable (expansion up to 2,000 m possible using fiber optic cabling) and can be expanded with up to six DKM18 digital key modules; this increases the total number of available keys and LEDs to 120 per communication unit. The function of the microphone in the digital call station is permanently monitored acoustically. The DCS15 furthermore provides an external audio input and output which can be used to connect audio devices such as CD players or tape decks.

Note: Redundancy in EN 54-16 and more than one alarming area.
  • High reliability through redundant transfer path
  • Cost-saving CAT5 cabling
  • Elektret swan-neck microphone with cardioid characteristic
  • Permanent monitoring of microphone and the line to the connected interface module
  • Broadband loudspeaker for microphone monitoring, monitoring of announcements and for intercom operation
  • 24-Bit-AD/DA-Transformer
  • Additional audio input/output (DCS15) e.g. for audio devices such as CD players
  • Intercom function with other communication units possible via built-in loudspeaker
  • 12 freely configurable keys
  • A programmable LED, optionally yellow or red
  • Usable for redundant and not redundant applications

Additional information:

The digital communication may be embedded in the surface of a table, for which a table mounting kit per unit is required.
In order to protect from unintentional key strokes, a transparent key cap is available. In this way pressing of keys is only possible with open caps. However, through one of these caps three horizontally arranged keys can be protected.

Scope of delivery:
A 3 m long Cat5-cable for connecting the digital communication unit to a wall jack, is included in delivery.
