Quantec Hi-Output Addressable Sounder
£57.57 (inc VAT: £69.08)
Summary
The C-TEC QT688/2 Hi-Output Addressable Sounder is a programmable high-performance audio indication device designed specifically for large Quantec nurse call installations. Operating at sound pressure levels up to 85dB(A), this addressable sounder significantly increases call indication levels where standard devices may be insufficient, ensuring critical alerts are heard throughout extensive healthcare facilities.
This intelligent sounder offers exceptional flexibility through its programmable architecture, allowing configuration to respond to specific groups of call points and supporting 16 different tone options, including four HTM2015 compliant tones for healthcare applications. Using a QT423 configurator, installers can assign different tones for each of Quantec’s call states, whilst default operation utilises Quantec’s standard tones for immediate deployment.
Practical features include adjustable day and night volume controls for appropriate sound levels around the clock, and connections for an optional overdoor light to provide visual indication alongside audio alerts. The compact unit mounts on a standard UK 25mm single gang flush or surface back box, ensuring straightforward installation and retrofit applications.
