NOTE: (For brig facilities, Type 1 shall be
selected for the station to station
intercommunications and Type 5 shall be selected for
the public address and monitoring function for the
project.) The various types are as follows:
1. Type 1: Direct connected, keyed system: This
type of system is applicable for relatively small
systems (maximum quantity of remote stations
approximately 30) and generally when only a small
number of master stations (usually 1 or 2) are
required. However, if there is a requirement for
annunciation at more than one location or a
requirement for multiple conversation paths the use
of this system with more than 1 or 2 master stations
or with many more than 30 remote stations may be
justified or required.
