The Viking Electronics VK-CTG-2A is a network-controlled tone generator designed for business and IT environments requiring automated audio alerts and scheduled messaging. This device addresses the need for precise, synchronized audio events across a facility, suitable for applications such as school bell systems, factory shift changes, or emergency notification. It supports up to 14 schedules and 1,000 events, with 6 minutes of CD-quality WAV file record time for custom tones or messages. Key features include programmable NTP clock synchronization, automatic Daylight Savings Time and leap year correction, and non-volatile memory with a 4-day clock backup. The unit offers four programmable trigger inputs for emergency tones, remote programming via TCP/IP, and includes PC programming software. It provides both line-level and amplified audio outputs, along with programmable auxiliary relay contacts and page trigger outputs, making it a flexible solution for integrating scheduled audio into existing paging or communication systems.
The VK-CTG-2A includes one mono line level pre-amp audio output, a built-in 1-watt mono audio amplifier, and one isolated audio output specifically for PABX/dial access paging systems. It also features page trigger outputs (12VDC and DPDT relay).
Programming is done via included PC software, and the device can be programmed remotely over a TCP/IP network. For time synchronization, it supports programmable NTP Clock synchronization and includes automatic Daylight Savings Time and leap year correction.
The VK-CTG-2A can manage up to 14 distinct schedules and supports up to 1,000 individual events. It also allows for up to 14 different tones or messages to be stored and played.
Yes, the device features non-volatile memory, ensuring that all programmed settings are retained. It also includes a 4-day clock backup to maintain accurate timekeeping during power interruptions.
