Radio transmit and receive can be added to the pantherCCS with the analog interface unit. The interface option provides full radio communications with either a Firecom "in-cab" intercom or with direct input from a two-way radio. The pantherCCS base stations keep personnel fully informed by monitoring radio traffic. In addition, all positions on the pantherCCS have radio transmit capability by using the PTT button on the Firecom headset.
The power switch is optional and controls station power. It will not affect other stations. Headset Jacks Firecom headsets may be used in the headset jacks for hands-free, full-duplex communications or private broadcast. Additional radio or in-cab communications are available. See “Options and Accessories” section in this manual.
Radio Communications Radio broadcast and reception are available with the addition of a Firecom interface unit (see “Options and Accessories” section). Once an interface unit is installed on a network, radio communication is possible at every unit on the network. Incoming radio traffic will be heard on base station speakers and headsets at remote and base stations, but not heard on remote station speakers.
INSTALLATION The pantherCCS can be mounted on a flat surface using (4) bolts or studs. Bolt holes are provided in the pantherCCS housing that allow the unit to be secured to the selected mounting location using bolts or mounting studs. Mounting and Overall Dimensions 6.50 FLAT PLATE...
Two terminators are provided to complete a network circuit. The terminators are located at both ends of a network. For optimal performance, install terminators as close to the unit as possible and no further than 6 feet in wire length away. 51Ohm terminators are available from Firecom (see “Options and Accessories” section).
• Check the terminators on the network. Make sure they are connected and have the proper resistance. If a problem persists in a headset or intercom unit, contact Firecom for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Return the headset or intercom for replacement or repair.
108-0510-00 This unit allows the addition of a Firecom 30xx intercom and an optional radio to the pantherCCS 2-wire network. With the integration of this unit anyone on the 2-wire network will be able to send and receive radio communications as well as talk to anyone on a Firecom 30xx intercom.
Firecom’s pantherCCS intercom speaker is loud enough to cause hearing damage. Use the volume control provided on the intercom to reduce the speaker volume to a safe level for the environment in which the intercom is being used or use Firecom headsets to reduce noise.
