Telecor 2443 Digital Calendar Clock/Speaker Unit

The Telecor 2443 Digital Calendar Clock/Speaker/Baffle Assembly is designed for use with Telecor’s intercommunication systems or the 2400 master clock. The assembly is ideal for use in schools and institutional environments.

The 2443 is equipped with an 8” loudspeaker/transformer for music and voice reproduction. The assembly also incorporates Telecor’s Digital Calendar Clock that simultaneously displays the current time and date. The time is displayed in hours, minutes, and seconds. Hours and minutes are displayed with large 2.25” digits. Seconds are slightly smaller for easy distinction. The date is displayed in plain text by a 10-character, dot matrix display showing the day of the week, followed by the month and date.

All secondary clocks are continuously synchronized with the Master; corrections are done instantaneously and all clocks display the identical time and date. In the event of a power failure, the Telecor system maintains proper timekeeping during the outage.

Once power is restored, all clocks are immediately updated with the correct time and date. The 2443 utilizes AlGaAS “Super-Bright” LED displays which have exceptional visibility and can be viewed from up to 120 feet away.

Enhanced Clock Messaging

In addition to displaying the time, the 2443 can be directly engaged by the Telecor software to display messages in the dot matrix section of the display. These messages can be used to alert personnel of an emergency or a situation of concern. This is ideal for communicating visual messages to hearing-impaired persons during critical situations.

Messages can be activated by the Telecor II/XL Event Scheduler, allowing text to be displayed at specific times and days of the week. Messages can be displayed using a variety of visual effects including scrolling or flashing single lines of text, as well as alternating between different lines of text. The 2443 can also be used as an ancillary visual annunciator to display emergency calls placed on the Telecor II/XL Communications System. When an emergency call is placed, it is shown in the messaging area of the display until the call is cleared from the system. The dot matrix display defaults back to the date when not displaying messages.

Elapsed Timer Operation

The 2443 can be used as an elapsed digital timer, providing stopwatch functionality, indicating elapsed time on the six-digit display. Elapsed timer functions include the ability to count upwards from zero to 24 hours, as well as counting down to zero from a specified value. The elapsed timer is controlled using the Telecor 2481-TBP Timer

Button Panel, providing start, stop, and reset functionality. When not operating as an elapsed timer, the 2443 defaults back to displaying the current time.
