• Although primarily an indoor
unit the UNI-ISU is available in a
stainless-steel cabinet for outdoor
use where solar power can be a
convenient option.
• Remote LOC (Local Operator Con-
sole) interface. The LOC provides a
small LCD screen and membrane
switch panel for local control.
Flexible Control Options
The UNI-ISU can be controlled and
monitored entirely from the re-
mote CCU where local control is not
desired.
However, the unit can also be
equipped with one or more LOCs.
The Local Operator Console allows
local control and activation even if
communication to the CCU is inter-
rupted and usually includes a micro-
phone for local live PA.
Multiple LOCs may be connected to
one UNI-ISU depending on power
and distance restrictions.
A large building may have multiple
units.
An LOC attached to one UNI-ISU can
trigger all the units in that building
without going thru remote CCU,
again improving system resiliency.
Multiple communication options
can connect the UNI-ISU to the Con-
trol Station including IP links (Ether-
net, optic fiber, cell modem and sat-
ellite modem) ) as well as UHF/VHF
radio.
While requiring a licensed frequen-
cy and having limited bandwidth,
25-watt UHF/VHF radios allow sys-
tem control over a fairly large area
independent of 3rd party infrastruc-
ture such as wired network, cell tow-
ers or WiFi access points.
ATI also supports having multiple
communication paths (for example
Ethernet LAN and UHF/VHF radio)
operating simultaneously in paral-
lel for the very highest system reli-
ability.
