The Station Alert 400 Series (SA400) Firehouse Alert Controller is a cost effective all in one Station Alert Controller. The SA400 incorporates everything you need for Two-Tone or DTMF Paging/Alerting in one wall mountable enclosure. The SA400 has a Commercial Radio Receiver, State of the Art Tone Decoder Board, 8 channel user adjustable relay module, 8 Channel audio / MP3 Playback module and easy to connect wiring module. The SA400 can be configured to the users needs and are built to order. All units are capable of alerting for up to 12 sets of tones (in 4 banks of 3 sets of tones each). The SA400 makes adding notification devices such as LEDs, Bells and Strobes a breeze and works with other 12vdc accessories as well. The Audio Playback Module allows specific audio files to be played over the stations existing PA Speaker system based on the tone bank that is activated. This allows different audio messages for up to four groups of tones. The Alert System can also provide activation or automation of other 3rd party items with the included Normally Open Relay and Common I/O ports for each tone bank set. The SA400 provides a BNC Jack for hooking the included VHF/UHF Antenna to the top of the controller and the ability to connect an external antenna up to the alert system (Recommended). The bottom of the enclosure provides a 12vdc Power input and 10amp Fuse on one side and on the other side a grommeted hole to run all external devices and audio connection cables thru.

 

Radio Receiver: Is a commercial grade communications receiver that is capable of receiving 142-174Mhz or 440-490mhz and is integrated into the SA400 Controller Enclosure. The Radio does provide a BNC or Optional N-Connector on the top of the Alert Controller for Rubber Ducky Antenna or to connect a external antenna.

Contact us for more details. 

 

8 Channel Relay Module: This user configurable relay module allows the end user to adjust activation times in the field once they understand its functions and abilities. We will program the board in the shop prior to shipping to your specific needs. Defaults for 12vdc Activations are 2 Minutes designed for LED/Strobe and 5 Seconds for momentary activations of 3rd party or high voltage devices.

 

Input / Outputs: The included power / signal distribution terminal allows for easy hookup of external accessories or 3rd party peripherals. The removable terminal screw jacks make it a breeze to connect you cables to and even easier to quickly disconnect or swap cable locations when test or trouble shooting.

 

Accessories and Notification Devices: The SA400 unit works with all 911 Systems LLC accessories plus other 12vdc accessories the end user sees fit. Each Relay is rated for 10 Amps and each open collector can support 10 amps but the 12vdc system is limited to 10 Amps total as this is the Max power we recommend for safe operation.
