Introduction The E-747 Encoder is an easy to use activation unit for Whelen’s family of High Power Voice and Siren System products. The E-747 output is Whelen’s standard, reliable 10 digit DTMF protocol. The E-747 is a compact, desktop unit designed for simple 4 wire connection to a base station transmitter.
General Remember, the E-747 must be ON, as indicated by the “ON/OFF” LED, before anything can happen! Operation of the E-747 is a simple 3 step procedure as shown on the heading of the unit. Step 1 is “Select Command”...
The settings are made with rotory switches, located inside of the AD-2 E-747 housing. To access the switches, remove the two Phillips head screws on the bottom of the unit. Gently remove the top of the housing, without removing any cables.
