Pyronix PSTN Voice Communicator for Euro or Enforcer
What it Does:
The Pyronix PSTN Voice Communicator allows a Euro or Enforcer alarm control panel to communicate with a central monitoring station or a user’s phone via the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). This device enables the transmission of voice messages or alarm signals over a traditional telephone line, providing an alternative to IP or cellular-based communication methods.
How it Works:
Integration with Alarm Panel:
The PSTN Voice Communicator connects to the Euro or Enforcer control panel via the system's communication bus.
It utilizes the existing telephone line to send alarm signals, system status reports, and voice messages.
Voice Message Transmission:
In the event of an alarm, the communicator can dial a pre-programmed phone number and deliver a recorded voice message, alerting the user or monitoring station about the event.
It can also be used for remote access, allowing users to call in and listen to the system status or arm/disarm the alarm.
Dual-Functionality:
Typically, the communicator works alongside other communication modules (e.g., GPRS, IP), serving as a backup in case of network failure.
Alarm Reporting:
The communicator can also report alarms to a central monitoring station, where operators can listen to the voice message and take necessary action.
Where it is Installed:
Near the Control Panel:
The PSTN Voice Communicator is installed close to the Euro or Enforcer control panel, connected directly via a communication cable.
Requires a nearby telephone line for proper functionality.
Premises with Landline Service:
Suitable for installations in areas where a landline telephone connection is available and reliable.
Key Benefits:
Voice Alerts: Provides immediate voice notifications to users or monitoring stations, ensuring timely responses.
Backup Communication: Acts as a secondary or backup communication method when using other modules like IP or GPRS.
Ease of Setup: Utilizes existing telephone lines, making it easy to install in areas with a traditional PSTN connection.
Remote Access: Allows users to remotely manage their system by dialing into the alarm.
Additional Notes:
Compatibility: Designed for Euro and Enforcer alarm systems, ensuring seamless integration.
Backup Communication: It’s often used in conjunction with other modules (e.g., IP, GPRS) for reliable communication redundancy.
Limitations: Requires an active telephone line, which may not be available in some modern installations that rely on VoIP or mobile phones.
