External Speaker and Microphone
The IsatDock DRIVE cradle comes with an external
speaker and microphone for hands-free operation.
1. Mount the speaker in the appropriate
location and ensure the lead is sucient to
reach the cradle.
NOTE
The speaker outputs are a Class D amplier, which
must not be connected to chassis/ground.
2. Mount the microphone about 30cm away
from where you normally speak and ensure
the lead is sucient to reach the cradle. By
default, the audio is always on the hands-
free speaker and microphone unless a
privacy handset audio device is enabled.
External Alert Button (optional)
IsatDock DRIVE provides an additional cable pair
from the rear cable loom, known as the standard
Beam alarm loop. This provides a Normally
CLOSED wire loop, which can be used to connect
to any passive type of button, or relay, or reed
switch in which the action breaks the loop (OPEN)
to activate the alarm state.
Connect the BROWN and GREEN wires either
directly to the button, or it can be extended for
longer runs (up to 45 meters). This alarm loop can
support multiple alarm buttons / switches – wired
in SERIES, whereby any one of these buttons will
OPEN (activate) the loop when pressed.
To properly activate the alarm state, the loop
needs to be OPEN for at least 2 seconds –
(ie. holding down the button for 2 seconds
activates the alarm).
