Product Description

 The BT-8 is a Store/Forward Zoning Direct Paging Interface which enables staff to make public address announcements from the comfort of their own desk telephone.

The free-standing unit acts as an interface between the analogue telephone system and the PA.

Both the BT-5 & BT-8 free standing units allow staff to dial into the Public Address (PA) system from their desk. The BT-5 & BT-8 act as a network between the telephone system and the PA and allows each individual with the opportunity to contact other members of staff or to make general announcements. This avoids contact to a busy reception/switchboard with a request to put a call out.

To Install the units, simply connect to a PA amplifier and an available telephone extension socket (BT5) or a building’s telephone exchange (BT8). A paging announcement is available by simply dialling into the unit’s extension. 

Please note: the BT8 is not approved for direct connection to the BT network. Under general approval NS/G/23/J/100003 it may be connected to a port on a telephone switch (PABX). This unit should only be used with a switchable amplifier input.

Specification Sheet

Manual

  • Operated by simply dialing the BT8 extension number
  • Supplied with an IEC mains lead
  • Can be used to broadcast live announcements

  • When connected to a telephone system with MF signalling, the BT8 enables the user to select up to eight zones via the telephone keypad
  • An internal selector determines if the recorded message is played once or twice
  • Can be wired into any two-wire analogue extension port via a designated master extension socket
  • Another option is to connect the unit to the paging port available on most modern telephone switches. However, they are not designed to operate on keyphone system extension ports

  • Signal output and zone select connections are via a 25 way D connector
  • Compatible with our BDM300 range of desk microphones (connected via the BMS25 socket box supplied with the microphone)
