User Function Switches
Eight user function switches are provided to control equipment at your repeater site.
These switches can be controlled manually by DTMF commands, or by the scheduler during
automatic operation. They can be made to turn OFF, ON or Momentarily change state, any
time you choose.
Digital Voice Recorder
An optional DVR, controlled by the CAT-1000B can be added to your repeater. Control
of the DVR is fully integrated into the CAT-1000B control and command structure. The
CAT-1000B will permit you to substitute any of the sixteen DVR tracks in place of the
messages normally generated by the voice synthesizer. In fact: you can even intermix
DVR tracks with voice synthesizer messages. A signal report test is also included.
Enter a DTMF command to record a seven second test message. Un-key and the test
message will playback. You instantly know how your signal sounds through the
repeater.
DTMF Regenerator
The CAT-1000B will mimic your DTMF input. In sophisticated repeater systems it is
often necessary to pass DTMF commands to distant repeaters within the linking system.
The CAT-1000B will swallow your DTMF tones and regenerate the tones distortion and
noise free as they were received. This will insure reliable control of your linking
network.
DTMF Command Generator
Forty DTMF commands can be stored in the CAT-1000B memory. These commands can be sent
manually by entering a prefix code or automatically by programming the scheduler.
Hardware Inputs
Eight hardware inputs activated by a positive voltage from other equipment at the
repeater site, causes the CAT-1000B to execute any repeater command. External
control, or information about the repeater site will be instantly available.
Repeater Control Prefix
A total of twenty-five prefix numbers control repeater operation. Each prefix is
programmable from one to seven digits depending on the security you require.
Repeater Timers
A total of nineteen timers control repeater operation. Each timer is user
programmable to afford maximum flexibility to suite your special requirements.
DTMF Keypad Test
A DTMF keypad test will read back the numbers decoded in a synthesized voice.
Macro
By entering a single macro number, the CAT-1000B will execute up to ten commands in a
string. Memory space is provided for the storage of forty macro strings. One Macro
can be used to call a second Macro. This feature permits the repeater owner to
customize the control functions to suit his or her particular needs.
