Control Station (CS)

Control Station (CS)

OVERVIEW

The Control Station (CS) provides a centralized location for activating, controlling and monitoring all system equipment. The CS also has the ability to broadcast live public address, pre-recorded messages and siren tones. Each CS consists of a PC with the ATI Systems’ Windows-based software and the REACT 4000 Communication Control Unit (CCU). The software provides an extremely user-friendly, graphics-based interface to display a detailed map of the county, facility, base or campus with color-coded icons to visually indicate the location and status of the sirens and remote units
