DR-10

Run the whole remote from a telephone.

Call it from the remote site. It answers on the ring you choose, beeps twice, takes your password, beeps once, and from then on every key you press can switch your audio, cue your automation or call the operator.

A live break, one key.

Straight from the DR-10 manual: relays 9 and 10 latch on the same key, another relay pulses the automation, and a second key puts everything back.

You call the DR-10 from the remote. It answers with two beeps.
You key your password. One beep: you're in, with the IFB feed in your ear.
You press 1 and three things happen at once: the IFB drops off the line, your audio goes to the console, and a pulse tells the automation you're live.
You press 2 when the break is done. A stop pulse fires and you're back on IFB.

The translator site calls you.

Another example from the manual: a temperature sensor on one of the DR-10's four alarm inputs, and a spare fan on a latching relay.

Translator site temperature

2:14 a.m.The temperature passes the sensor's trip point. The DR-10 picks up the line and dials your pager, and keeps dialing every six seconds until the paging company hangs up.
2:17 a.m.No call back within three minutes, so it pages you again.
2:21 a.m.You call in and key the unlock password. That clears the alarm.
2:21 a.m.You key #1. Two beeps: the input is still tripped. You latch the relay wired to the spare fan.
2:35 a.m.You call back and key #1 again. One beep: it's cooled off. Back to bed.

The RPU dies mid-remote. Now what?

Borrow a phone line where you are, dial the DR-10, key the password and hit the attention light. The operator answers on the mix-minus IFB and puts your DR-10 audio on the air. With the Silencer option fitted, your touch-tones stay off the air.

More about the DR-10

Put it to work on unattended remote broadcasts with your automation, cutting into programming for emergency warnings or quick announcements, EAS monitoring, and remote-controlled audio switching.

The DR-10 takes the Silencer option, which keeps touch-tones off its audio output, and the CP-1 call progress decoder for phone systems that don't signal the end of a call.
