It provides excellent sensitivity and voice reproduction, and comes with a built-in strobe controller board to activate the strobe (optional) upon call-in to a master station. The station is ideal for security applications in parking lots, campus walkways, entry doors, gates, wherever fast call initiation is required. The 96257-9 operates with the 9200, 9400 and 9600 systems.
