The Model CB193-xxx and Model CB195-xxx include a push-to-talk (PTT) button, an LED status
indicator lamp, an integral speaker and a microphone. The Model CB194-xxx includes a handset with
noise-canceling microphone and an integral PTT pressbar and features a magnetic proximity hookswitch
for handset sensing.
The status lamp indicates the transmit/receive (talk/listen) status of the call box and provides indication
when the channel is busy (wait - flashing red), or if a low battery power condition exists (flashing amber
every 8 seconds).
All RF Call Box models can be programmed for call box-to-radio, call box-to-call box, or call box-to-
telephone line operation via the CARD Suite Software application. All modes of operation require a
receiving radio to complete the system (handheld, mobile, or base station). For call box-to-telephone line
operation, a GAI-Tronics PL1877A (MRTI 2000) Telephone Interconnect is additionally required to
interface the receiving radio’s signal to the telephone line via a host radio. The call box-to-call box mode
of operation can provide a common communication link (all units commonly broadcast received audio
transmission) between call boxes. In this configuration, all RF Call Boxes must be programmed for
“Standby Forever” operation and will require a constant external power source.
These units are programmed using the CARD Suite Software application, which is included on the
XAC4000A Programming Bundle CD. Each unit can be bench-programmed prior to installation, thus
limiting field installation time. The Model 19101-024 Programming Kit is additionally required for
programming the frequency and PL code into the integral radio transceiver (-001 and -002 models only).
The optional Model SPK100 Solar Panel Kit, Model GTRFP7784-108/SPK200 Solar Panel Array and
Interface Kit, and the 190-002PS Power Supply Kit are available for use with all models. See the “Field
Installed Optional Accessories” section on page 19 and Model 190-002PS installation instructions on
page 20 for additional information.
All Models CB19x-001 and CB19x-002 are provided with a factory-installed, integral RF transceiver.
These units are ready for programming and system activation without the need for additional circuitry.
The Model CB19x-003 is provided without RF circuitry. These units will require the installation of a
customer-provided Kenwood TK-3170 Series Portable Radio and Model 190-3170K Adapter Kit prior to
system activation.
