EkoTek Call Point Repeater

$885.50

*Includes GST at 10%

The EkoTek Call Point Repeater plays a crucial role in the EkoTek system, enabling the initiation of alarms and assist calls through a red button on the front of the unit or an external closing contact input. A call point can be used to connect to equipment that has a closing contact (a simple switch such as a ceiling-mounted pull cord) to signal an alarm.

The assist message is configurable separately for the red button and external contact input. The call point has an internal sounder (configurable on/off) to indicate call state.

The red button can be configured as either:

1. Disabled.

2. Single press raises alarm.

3. Double press raises alarm.

A long press of the red button always clears an alarm raised by the red button or the external alarm contact. The mains powered call point is functionally similar but provides terminals for wiring to an external low voltage DC supply and contains an internal rechargeable battery pack for battery backup in case of supply failure.

The call point can also be used as a repeater while still retaining call point functionality.

For mounting positions where the unit is at body height this is not recommended, as the quality of link that the call point can offer will degrade when someone stands near or in front of the unit. This may cause devices communicating through the call point repeater to lose contact with the network. For high positions such as operating in conjunction with a ceiling pull cord this should not be a problem.
