PELTOR DECT-Com II
1 INTRODUCTION
Peltor DECT-Com II is a wireless intercom system for simple and efficient duplex communication with up to 9 active users talking in full duplex, plus up to 40
listeners with possibility to “break in” to the conference. Another user, who wants to talk in the conference, will take the place of one of the first users, who will
be relegated to a “listen only”.
There are basically two versions of the DECT-Com II main unit; portable units and base/portable units.
The base/portable units (DC2912 and DC2915) can be started as base or portable units, which is not possible with the portable unit (DC2911).
Peltor DECT-Com II operates on the 1.9 GHz band, which is licence free in USA and Canada. Please check with your local authorities!
Due to low output power and high frequency it is a short range communication system. The nominal line of site working range is approximately 275 yards
outdoors. Indoors, the working range may be less due to obstacles.
