General Description

The Telex RadioCom™ BTR-1 UHF wireless intercom sys- tems is the ultimate in reliable, high performance, encrypted full duplex communications.

The BTR-1 system includes the BTR-1 frequency agile base station and a TR-1 frequency agile beltpack. The BTR-1 system provides full duplex, encrypted digital communication.

The base station provides the beltpack with access to a six in- tercom port matrix of 2-wire systems or communication to a 4-wire intercom system. The system can interface with Audiocom® (Telex), RTS® TW, Clear-Com® 2-wire inter- com systems as well as 4 wire communication systems.

In addition to the 2 and 4-wire intercom systems the base sta- tion provides connections for auxiliary balanced audio input and output, as well as relay closure and the ability for using one of the six intercom lines as a wireless only communication intercom. The system is also perfectly suited for stand-alone operation.

The BTR-1 has been designed for reliable, efficient operation. Operating in the 482 to 746 MHz range. The unit has ex- pansion ability to add dozens of base stations to create a sys- tem. The high-efficiency beltpack provides up to 9 hours of uninterrupted operation using standard alkaline batteries.
