The Alpha Communications®/Tektone DS100 Door Sentry™ series latching annunciator is designed for alarm indications of an opening or a closing of a dry contact, or for other emergency-call or panic type applications.

When a remote contact switch is activated, the DS100 annunciator will sound an electronic alarm (tone) and will light, indicating the location of the alarm. The tone signal can be silenced at the master station (and/or at the optional IR019B remote alarm indicator). The individual switch/light will remain lighted until the remote switch is reset, and the master switch is depressed twice, resetting the light at the master annunciator.

The DS100 master annunciator is modular and can be flush, surface or desk mounted, and is available in any size, in multiples of four (4) lights/switches. The DS100 features built-in tone signal speaker, and tone silence button and light. Model ST005D 'TEST' buttons are optional, but strongly recommended for lamp testing, on each annunciator module.

The Alpha Communications®/Tektone HC345C series Tek-Check-In™ microprocessor-based audio-visual emergency-call system provides senior citizen building occupants with unparalleled protection, while supplying management with a fully automatic mandated check-in procedure for each resident.

The HC345C addresses the needs of both resident and staff by combining ease of operation, accurate two-way voice communication, and an English language format prominently displayed on a high-resolution, compact CRT.

The HC345C system also includes masters with keys that are colored and grouped accordingly for ease of operation, and the handset is an integral part of the master station.

The heart of the system is the Central Processing Equipment (CPE). Standard features include dual system networking between two CPE's, the capacity for 256 addressable stations, and a serial port for adding a printer or management system (NC386). Electronic supervision is provided through the polling of the system four (4) times a second to verify proper system function and total system operation. An optional Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) (Model #PC-25) is offered to guard against power outages regardless of geographical location or harsh-weather environments.

The CRT master station combination provides all programming capability necessary to assign room numbering, set room status, and carry on a two-way voice communication with the residents, while prominently displaying English language system information on a high-resolution CRT. In addition to the handset, the master incorporates additional function keys which allow the operator to dispatch administrators/staff to appropriate rooms, if required. Each apartment station is attractively styled with a white faceplate to compliment any decor.

Each resident must check in each day by simply pressing a "Check-In" button prominently mounted on the (Model # IR345B) apartment Occupant Help Station (OHS). Each apartment may have a (Model #IR145B) remote OHS for emergency calling purposes only. This single "Check-In" action removes the resident's apartment designation from the CPE. If the resident does not check in, the apartment designation will remain on the system CRT at the conclusion of the check-in sequence. The supervising authority must contact the resident by using the voice-communication system or dispatch administrative personnel to verify the well-being of the resident. The check-in time sequence can be tailored to fit the needs of each facility and is password protected for security against misuse or tampering.

To maximize the installed cost-benefit of every HC345C system, we have added monitoring ability of ancillary devices such as apartment smoke detectors, door contacts, and emergency pull cords. The flexibility furnished by the HC345C programming alternatives, simple multiplexed wiring, and standard back box mounting all add up to a system that is unequalled in feature and function.
