The Federal Signal ECHO Central Controller is a fully digital, microprocessor-based switching center employing PCM encoded voice and data for interference-free digital duplex communications. Controllers are available to support 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 stations. Multiple controllers can be networked for larger systems.

Each ECHO Controller provides 30 channels of simultaneous speech and data communication. High-speed connections are provided for two-, three- and four-digit extension addresses. Voice quality is crisp and clear with the highest level of speech intelligibility. Clear communication is provided to stations at a range of up to 1.2 miles (2km) over a single, twisted pair of non-shielded wires.

ECHO Controllers support intercom stations with single-touch speed dialing, group call, all call, emergency all call, conference calls and four programmable privacy levels. Optional interfaces are available for public address, general alarm, PBX and two-way radio systems. All Controllers are fiber optic ready and include and RS232 port. The RS232 port provides integration with auxiliary security systems, including video display terminals.

ECHO Digital Intercom Systems can be configured via any Intercom Station with an LCD display or via a PC with the ECHO Windows-based software. Factory default settings enable a system to be working quickly upon installation. Custom program changes can be made while the system is in operation without affecting service. ECHO programming is preserved in solid-state, non-volatile memory devices which are not affected by power failures.

ECHO Controllers are protected in IP30, Type 1 wall mount enclosures with hinged doors.
