DTA001-0602 Introduction The DIGI*TRAC Annunciator (DTA) is used to monitor basic security functions—such as alarm, input, and relay status. It provides a local display of critical information near or outside the protected area. The DTA is ideal for lobbies and other passages outside of the secured area where a qualified individual can confirm the protected area is secure.
