In case the user is about to step out of range or the communication has already been cut off, the headset produces a continuing beep as warning tone

With the new IFB-REVARIO system, Imtradex, the specialist for hear-/ talk accessories provides an innovative communication solution for control centres. The wireless send button PTT-13WL and the IFB receiver enriches a standard wireless phone headset by "push to talk" (PTT)-function. The IFB-REVARIO has just recently been improved significantly. The new version is getting along without Keeloq encryption. Instead, PTT-function is now run by the digital exchange of individual serial numbers. This allows parallel operation of several systems without interferences, which reduces operating costs significantly.

“Furthermore, once used NiMH batteries are replaced by much lighter and rechargeable Li-Ion batteries. This on the one hand reduces the weight of the wireless PTT and furthermore increases the operation time" explains Mathias Iser, technical director of Imtradex Ho?r-/Sprechsysteme GmbH (www.imtradex.com) another advantage of the latest IFB-REVARIO-generation. For recharging the wireless send button PTT-13WL the company now also supplies a charging station. This should provide the opportunity to get a tidy impression and use as less space as possible.

Another important novelty is the range control function: In case the user is about to step out of range or the communication has already been cut off, the headset produces a continuing beep as warning tone, till the user steps back into range. Though this safety function can be switched off upon request, it should attract the dispatcher’s awareness, to avoid that he will step out of range. Furthermore, the new version of the PTT-13WL send button will now be provided in black ABS plastic. "Experiences showed that the once used silver colour sometimes wears off by hand perspiration. This is why we alternatively decided for a solid-coloured black version in order to re-gain and increase the handling comfort." says Mathias Iser. The latest generation of IFB- REVARIO, the Imtradex communications solution for control rooms, is available from now on.
