TAC-5 Telephone Remote
Broadcast Coupler with DTMF Control
The TAC-5 combines a telephone autocoupler
with a password protected, DTMF, remote control
for handling remote broadcasts or general
dial-up control from anywhere. It automatically
answers the phone on a user set number of
rings and waits for you to enter your password
(from none to 8 digits). After entering your
password, you have complete control of the
TAC-5's relays. Audio is passed to and from
the telephone line, making the TAC-5 ideal
for unattended remote broadcasting.
While the telephone interface lets you get
your audio on the air, you can use the TAC-5's
relays to control your automation system
or even put yourself direclty on the air,
bypassing everything else in your air chain.
The direct to air mode is not only useful
for remotes, it is also great for emergency
broadcasts when weather strikes, etc.
Relays can be individually programmed for
momentary,
latching or interlocked operation. Each relay
can be programmed
to
decode any of the 16 DTMF tones. Any relay
can be tied to any
other for
modes such as latching and interlocked. Relays
can return a beep
acknowledge tone that tells you when you've
activated an output.
The
TAC-5 includes a two-tone sequence mode that
prevents accidental
contact closures when you're using it for
remote broadcasts. The TAC-5 has a logic level input that can
cause the TAC-5
to call you or your pager or phone number
(up to 24 digits
long).

else, you might be amazed at the TAC-5's list price of only $319.00.

The TAC-5 features an
audio hybrid that allows you to control the unit while monitoring an
external audio source. That makes the TAC-5 a great choice for EAS
monitoring, remote controlled audio switcher, etc. Of course, an
active, balanced telephone audio feed, with send and receive gain
controls, is brought out so that you can put the telephone audio on the
air or into a recorder. A second, user set password is available that
allows the TAC-5 to be used as a listening device only. When the
secondary password is entered, the TAC-5 passes send audio to the
caller and will stay on-line, but the caller has no control over the
unit's relays. Additional ground sink outputs occur when the TAC-5
seizes the phone line and when it hangs up. Programming is easily done
from any DTMF telephone. The TAC-5 is compatible with both the CP-1
Call Progress Decoder option. For a complete list of TAC-5 features and
controls, please download the
current TAC-5 manual from our main site. Other manuals are also
available there as well.
** End of tone closures operate in momentary mode only.
