When enabled to alert on low battery conditions, the relay will energize when any Beltpac reports a
low battery condition. It will remain energized until all Beltpacs report good battery voltage. Thus,
even if the battery runs down completely and the Beltpac stops operating, the alert condition will still
exist until the battery is replaced and that Beltpac resumes operation.
If a general purpose Beltpac triggered output is desired, the BP Button condition should be enabled.
In this case, the relay will energize whenever a user presses their alert button. The relay remains
energized until the user releases the button. As confirmation, the Beltpac user will hear the alert tone
(if enabled) in the headset while pressing the button.
NOTE: Beltpac firmware prior to version A.2.00 requires that the unit be in talk mode prior to
pressing the Alert button. Newer models do not have this requirement.
The relay can also be enabled to signal fault conditions in the base. Faults of this type are
catastrophic and require cycling power or repair.

heard in the Beltpac’s headset
