TAC-5 Telephone Remote Broadcast Coupler with DTMF Control
The TAC-5 combines a telephone autocoupler with a password protected, DTMF, remote
control for handling remote broadcasts or general dial-up control from anywhere.
It automatically answers the phone on a user set number of rings and waits for you
to enter your password (from none to 8 digits). After entering your password, you
have complete control of the TAC-5's relays. Audio is passed to and from the telephone
line, making the TAC-5 ideal for unattended remote broadcasting. While the
telephone interface lets you get your audio on the air, you can use the TAC-5's
relays to control your automation system or even put yourself direclty on the air,
bypassing everything else in your air chain. The direct to air mode is not
only useful for remotes, it is also great for emergency broadcasts when weather
strikes, etc.
Relays can be individually programmed for momentary,
latching or interlocked operation. Each relay can be programmed to decode any of
the 16 DTMF tones. Any relay can be tied to any other for modes such as latching
and interlocked. Relays can return a beep acknowledge tone that tells you when you've
activated an output. The TAC-5 includes a two-tone sequence mode that prevents accidental
contact closures when you're using it for remote broadcasts.
The TAC-5 has a logic level input that can cause the
TAC-5 to call you or your pager or phone number (up to 24 digits long).

The TAC-5 features an audio
hybrid that allows you to control the unit while monitoring an external audio source.
That makes the TAC-5 a great choice for EAS monitoring, remote controlled audio
switcher, etc. Of course, an active, balanced telephone audio feed, with send and
receive gain controls, is brought out so that you can put the telephone audio on
the air or into a recorder. A second, user set password is available that allows
the TAC-5 to be used as a listening device only. When the secondary password is
entered, the TAC-5 passes send audio to the caller and will stay on-line, but the
caller has no control over the unit's relays. Additional ground sink outputs occur
when the TAC-5 seizes the phone line and when it hangs up. Programming is easily
done from any DTMF telephone. The TAC-5 is compatible with both the CP-1 Call Progress
Decoder option. For a complete list of TAC-5 features and controls, please
download the current TAC-5 manual from our main site. Other
manuals are also available there as well.
** End of tone closures operate
in momentary mode only.
