SM018 Speech Synthesiser Board
The SM018 Speech Module has been specifically designed to plug into the Dewhurst CH024 or CH034 Serial Encoder Board. Through dedicated inputs on the encoder it provides facilities for floor identification, door opening, door closing, direction of travel as well as warning and information announcements. There is a large vocabulary of English phrases that will cover the majority of requirements. However, custom phrases can be accommodated. The SM018 announcements provide clear information to lift users and are of particular importance to blind and partially sighted people for applications requiring compliance to Lift and Building Regulations.
- Plugs into CH024/CH034 serial encoder boards to add speech option
- Audio output 2.5W
- Speaker and line tranformers supplied
- Adjustable volume for normal & hush mode
- Provides facilities for floor ID, door opening, door closing, direction of travel as well as warning & info. announcements
- Excellent sound quality as far as 300m from the encoder module
