Overview

The FDO 1000 Order-Wire brings maintenance communications into the 21st century with features and advantages that come only with microprocessor control.

DTMF Selective Signaling
The DPS FDO 1000 Order-Wire uses the on-board microprocessor to synthesize and decode DTMF signaling tones. Optional features like privacy, all call and external speaker muting are all programmable.

Compatibility
The FDO 1000 can be programmed to interface with many existing DTMF Signaling Order-Wire networks. It can also be used without signaling in a "hoot-n-holler" application by adding the accessory monitor speaker and 4-wire phone. The FDO 1000 includes a 4-Way passive bridge and level matching pads for +7 / -16 dBm channel levels. The bridge can also be bypassed for direct interface at the order-wire's active VF ports. Terminations can be strapped in for any unused ports.

Optional Data Port Expansion
An Auxiliary Card slot on the FDO 1000 Order-Wire will accept expansion cards, similar to the KDA-series Alarm Remotes. Expansion cards will be offered in the future, and could include additional Order-Wire channels, alarm expansion cards and base-band or digital interfaces. (See Order Wire Network diagram).

Download Configuration
Order-Wire options and configuration of the alarm and control points is accomplished on a personal computer running T/FDO1000 software. The configuration file is downloaded to the FDO 1000's processor via a craft port on the front on the unit.

LED Indicators
The FDO 1000 includes alarm and control status LED's on the front panel. Other LED's indicate order-wire off-hook, incoming call ringing and channel busy.

One-Rack Unit
The FDO 1000 requires only one rack unit (1-3/4") of vertical space in a 19" or 23" rack.

Order-wire components: Accessories for Order Wire include active 4w/4w bridge, 4-wire DTMF phone and speaker.

Four-Wire Phone
Voice communications and out-dialing can occur at a 4-wire telephone, mounted near the FDO 1000. A wall-mount type phone is available with the FDO 1000, but other style phones can be used, as long as they are converted to 4-wire operation.

Call Buzzer
A buzzer in the FDO 1000 announces incoming calls.
