INTRODUCTION
ATTENTION INSTALLER: To assure a trouble free
installation, please read these entire instructions through
once before beginning.
The Sigtronics SAFE unit, when used with Sigtronics noise
attenuating headsets, provides personnel with the ability to
transmit and receive on two radios at the same time; talk to
each other via a voice activated (VOX) intercom, and monitor
a third radio.
Applications: The unit is designed for airport ground vehicles,
fire apparatus, marine emergency equipment, rescue and
ambulance vehicles, and mobile emergency command centers.
Dual Radio Capability allows the two command headset
positions (officers) to select which radios to transmit and
receive on independent of the other headsets. Each headset
position has dual volume controls, one for radio reception, and
one for intercom volume level. The third and fourth headset
positions (crew) are slaved to the right side of the unit and
hear whatever radio(s) that side has selected.
Auxiliary Input lets you monitor a third radio.
Voice Activated Intercom (VOX) feature allows "hands free"

communication between headsets connected to the SAFE
unit. Start speaking and the intercom turns on instantly to
relay your message clearly to the other headsets. Stop talking
and it turns off to reduce background noise.
Up to Four Headset Positions can be connected to the SAFE
unit. More headset positions can be achieved by wiring
additional jacks in parallel. Only one headset, however, can
be plugged into paralleled jacks at one time. This paralleled
jack scheme is most commonly used on pumper trucks at the
pump panel. In this case, the driver plugs his headset into the
engineers jack while driving. He then unplugs and plugs into
the pump panel when he arrives on scene.
Universal Radio Interface design to accommodate virtually
any type of communication radio.
Automatic Sidetone Generation allows everyone on the vehicle
to hear both sides of the radio conversations.
Excellent RF Immunity guarantees clean, clear, radio
communications.
Standardized for use with Sigtronics single plug headsets (ie.
SE-8, SE-48, SE-18).
