General Information
Product Overview
GAI-Tronics’ EZ Page Intercoms are designed
for two-way communication in non-hazardous,
industrial applications. Each model is field
configurable for one of two types of systems:
either Listen/Talk or Master/Slave. All units are
factory-configured for the Listen/Talk system.
Listen/Talk System
In a Listen/Talk system, the press-to-talk switch
must be held down as long as the operator talks.
Releasing the switch deactivates the microphone
and returns the unit to the listen mode.
Master/Slave System
In a Master/Slave system the Master unit controls
the talk/listen operation of the Slave unit. The
Slave unit is normally in the talk mode, providing
hands-free communication to the operator. The
Master/Slave system is ideal for typical gate
station applications. An internal switch is used to
designate a unit as a master or as a slave.
Balanced and Unbalanced Systems
The EZ Page system is a balanced system; however, it can be adapted for use in an unbalanced system. If
interfacing this equipment with other similar products on the market, determine if your system is balanced
or unbalanced.
