RP-3000 Voice/Digital Portable Repeater
The RP-3000 is a small, portable, simplex repeater designed for use with the EIDS series of processor/transmitters. The RP-3000 extends the operational range of an intrusion detection system by relaying the signal from the transmitters to either a portable or fixed base site. Using one or more repeaters provides unlimited flexibility when deploying the EIDS system in rough, hilly terrain where line-of-sight is not possible, or when strategic operations require monitoring at a location far removed from the sensored area.
The RP-3000 can function as a digital message format repeater AND as an audio repeater. The repeaters are microprocessor-controlled and allow users to select a variety of parameters via a PDA handheld programmer in the field or a laptop/desktop computer with Windows® XP, Vista, or 7 operating system.
The compact, waterproof, machined aluminum housing is designed for above ground or direct burial deployment. The RP-3000 is powered by 12 volt DC power source (sold separately).
A Tamper mechanism sends an alert if an intruder attempts to disable the system, or if the external power supply is interrupted (disconnected). The RP-3000 also has a programmable trigger for activating a camera system or other device. A Serial interface allows users to export digital messages to a network or other device.
Telonics can sell this product only to law enforcement, military, and government agencies; these products are for use only within such agencies.
