Inter-M Americas ARM-911 Automated Remote Messaging Interface

The Inter-M ARM-911 responds to public address requirements and Voice Alarm for small to medium installations. This unit is an ideal add on to any PA system and useful to easily initiate code blue paging or lockdown procedures. This unit is designed to be used ‘Stand-Alone’ or in conjunction with other devices such as Fire and Intruder alarm panels. Remote fault in and out status is provided in order to meet system monitoring requirements.

The ARM-911 is a DSP based audio digital signal processing audio mixer and a digital message player. Up to 4 remote paging stations can be connected to the ARM-911. The ARM-911 can accept independent inputs from a telephone paging port, a mic/line auxiliary input and a BGM input source. The output is balanced audio on a 3 position Euroblock connector. The audio output is variable and features a pad selector with level from -56dB, -10dB and +4dBm allowing for interfacing to any type of audio inputs on mixers and amplifiers.

Each input is fitted with volume controls and equalizers. All audio inputs features either contact and VOX activation (ideal when using the cordless microphone, or receiving audio from other emergency messaging devices such as fire alarm panels) Ten monitored contact closure or alarm inputs make it possible to trigger pre-programmed messages from any remote devices.

Up to 4 remote microphones can be connected to the ARM-911. The microphone can be used for live instant voice messaging. 10 buttons on the Microphone station are used to activate any messages. A 4 digit security code can be programmed preventing unauthorized use of the paging station.

A telephone paging input allows the ARM-911 to be connected to the paging port of any PBX. This allows the use of any authorized telephone to connect to the ARM-911 to make direct live voice announcements. A DTMF decoder can trigger any of the 10 messages that can be activated using the dial pad of the phone.
