The Company sells complete systems as well as components for existing sys- It also provides installation services for customers. Components of a typical system sold by the might include one or more receivers/processors, radio call boxes, interfaces, evacuation devices, antennas, battery chargers and rechargeable batteries. leading edge communications systems are based upon radio transmission technology. Radio- systems tend to be more economical than traditional hard-wired systems. In addition, radio alarm facilitates rapid transmission of signals, saving critical seconds during emergency situations. radio systems can also be easily expanded due to the absence of hard-wired connections. The receiv- station has an AM (or FM-FSK) receiver which is specially designed for radio call box applications. signals from up to 25 miles (line of site) away can be received and decoded by the receiver and without the need of a repeater. King-Fisher Company manufacturers a complete line of Repeaters, can extend the range to any required distance, or may be used in severe terrain locations. the event of an emergency, signals are sent either manually by a remote hand-held unit, or automatically. box push buttons (designated for Fire, Security, etc.) may be pushed manually. Central control detection which monitor heat, smoke, other approved detectors or special functions (i.e. Medical, Security, will automatically transmit signals to the receiving base station. Received signals are then decoded and with an audio signal and visual display, along with a written message which is printed and dis- by the base station. RADIO RECEIVING STATIONS KFRA-C Base Radio Receiving Station is one of the latest state-of-the-art emergency radio and signal processors on the market. The unit detects and processes radio transmissions from FCC- emergency radio call box transmitters. The KFRA-C is designed to interface with numerous detec- and alerting devices as well as many computer-aided dispatch management systems. Units are powered 12 volt DC, 50 ampere-per-hour batteries for 24 hours of standby power (48, 60 and 90 hours also Memory units in the KFRA-C enable the station to store up to 500 address identity numbers zones) of radio call box transmitters used with the system. The unit audio and visually displays emer- messages, and produces a permanent record of received signals is printed by a digital impact printer. unit is available in a variety of configurations.
