Graphic User Interface software and work station with Windows 2000/XP.

CompuLert CSC-960 TM

The CSC-960TM encoder combines maximum flexibility with convenience of operation for new or existing “Outdoor Warning Siren Systems” as well as interfacing to interior Mass Notification Systems used for emergency warning. Use it as a stand-alone unit, or in multiple-controller arrangements of a 1-way or 2-way control system. Compatible with both DTMF or digital FSK data-tone protocols, it may be used to upgrade your existing equipment, or as a controller for your new warning system. For enhanced operation, connect the CSC-960TM to a new or existing PC using a Windows operating system. Designed with mounting in mind, the CSC-960TM is easily installed on a desktop, in a 19” rack-mount configuration, or integrated into an existing dispatch console to conserve space. The CompuLertTM CSC-960TM configuration is determined by the feature set you need as well as the number of RTUs required for sirens and building system interface. For 2-way systems with up to 15 sirens, the CSC-960TM and printer will provide critical status information relating to the operational status of the warning siren equipment. Beyond 15 sirens, the PC Windows adjunct is generally more suitable. For large systems, or where communities require the benefit of enhanced control system(s) features, an operator work station can be provided to include the powerfulCompuLertTM software for “automatic event” report generation, and other convenient features. Now the CSC-960TM will also upload and download (all) command sequences from the PC or operate independently of the PC, when simple, fast, push button activation only is required. Installation and operation is easy! Just plug it in to any 110 VAC, 60 Hz service outlet, connect it to your radio transmitter, turn on the power, and push the tone-signal/siren(s) button(s) to activate the equipment. The CSC-960TM comes standard with battery back-up and should AC power fail, it will remain operational for a minimum of eight hours. The CSC-960TM also provides continuous operation despite operator workstation failure.

For example, from a “dropdown” programmable menu, you can easily energize any combination of over 3,000 individually addressable digital universal controllers for sirens, interfaces to interior systems, tone-alert radios, and weather stations. When specific area notification is required, choose from 1 to 99 programmable groups, or an individual siren. User programmable pre-scheduled testing and polling are easily accomplished from the programming menu. Just select the date, time(s) of day, and number of times per month you wish to run tests. Select from up to nine interactive maps, ranging from county-wide to individual community map views - perfect for county systems where dispatchers activate sirens for their community. Multiple tone signals, live P.A., and pre-recorded messages are easily activated from CompuLert’sTM control equipment, enhancing the performance of any electromechanical or electronic siren system.
