TFT MODEL EAS 911T6 ENCODER / DECODER

MODEL EAS 911T6 ENCODER / DECODER
The EAS 911T4 is an FCC Type Certified EAS Encoder/Decoder with six balanced audio inputs, one RS-232C input, a balanced audio output, five RS-232C outputs (capable of interfacing to a character generator or cable EAS system as well as LED sign outputs and DTMF interface units), impact printer, and digital voice recorder.

The EAS 911T Encoder/Decoder can be interfaced to a radio or TV station’s automation system through the Character Generator (CG) port, COM2, of the Four Port COM Expander option. Incoming EAS messages can be delayed and forwarded under the control of the automation system with a few RS-232 ASCII commands.

When the Character Generator interface is enabled through setup menu item 18, ENABLE CHAR GEN INTERFACE, message forwarding is controlled through the CG port. A series of ASCII commands has been defined in the TFT Character Generator Protocol to accomplish message delay and forwarding. The CG port also provides a text translation of the cryptic EAS header information.
