General Description

The Telex BTR-24 System is a full duplex (simultaneous talk and listen), multi-channel, wireless intercom system. The system offers a complete solution for up to 10, full duplex users per base station, many more if in push-to-transmit mode. With fast and easy set-up, durable beltpacks, 64 bit audio encryption, and professional grade headsets.

The main components of this system consists of the TR-24 beltpack and the BTR-24 base station.

The TR-24 beltpack offers the user three audio channels; Audio Channel 1, Audio Channel 2, and both audio's combined. The user can talk and listen on these channels or just turn off the talk button and listen only.

The beltpacks have the ability to communicate with each other in wireless, wired or master wireless modes. In wireless mode, beltpack communicate to each other using the base station as a relay. In wired mode, beltpacks turn off their wireless ability and communicate via an ethernet cable or a buildings ethernet backbone. Finally in master wireless mode, a beltpack can become base station and serve as the wireless relay for coverage over an area.

The beltpack uses an internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery that will provide up to 8 hours of uninterrupted operation.

The BTR-24 base station can support up to ten TR-24 beltpacks in full duplex mode and more if in push-to-transmit mode. The base station provides a central relay location which handles the audio traffic between beltpacks. The built-in base station intelligence called ClearScan™ automatically selects the best RF (Radio Frequency) channel for communications on start-up. The base station also uses an internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery that will provide up to 10 hours of uninterrupted operation.
