SEI Announces New Paging Encoder, the SEI Advisor

SEI announces the SEI ADVISOR, a small, two-tone Paging Encoder/Decoder designed for Emergency Services use in Fire Stations, Mobile Command Units and Backup Dispatch Units.  The encoder accepts any tones, is easy to program and easy to use.  All programming is entered directly from the keypad with no leading zeros.  The encoder has 250 slots that can be programmed for two-tone (you can optionally add gaps and alert tones), DTMF sequences (both Standard and Knox F1) and up to 40 stacks of up to 20 pages each.  The Decode function allows for up to 16 tone pairs to be decoded.  A relay closure is used to activate lighting, to start a recorder for logging the call or for anything else that needs to be activated when the department is toned.  A Mobile Mounting Kit is available.
