HelixNet
®
Industrial KB
Station (IKB-12P)
.
The
HelixNet Industrial KB Station
is an easy-to-use intercom station that connects to a single partyline and enables users to send and receive audio. A HelixNet Main Station (HMS-
4X) connect to and controls up to 64 Industrial KB Stations, and each station is individually configured and controlled using a menu driven display and a browser-based software configuration tool. The unit can be wall mounted or placed in a dedicated desk top unit.
The user station is easily expanded to include up to 40 call buttons. Each call button is assigned a profile which determines the button’s functionality.

(manufacturers, distributors and/or retailers) to take-back electronic products at the end of their useful life. The WEEE Directive covers most Clear-Com products being sold into the EU as of August 13, 2005. Manufacturers, distributors and retailers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging which indicates that this product was put on the market after August 13, 2005 and must not be disposed of with other waste.
