Monaco 227-623-00 is a BT-XM in-building mass notification communicator in the single-wide NEMA 1 enclosure. The BT-XM links a fire alarm control panel and a mass notification panel to the Monaco D-21 central receiving system.
It can pass live voice received from a radio, telephone or microphone to in-building mass notification panels, and it triggers prerecorded messages or tones on a connected panel through relay driver outputs. Communication is by narrowband radio with fallback to hard-wire, which the user must wire. Monaco orders the 227-623 family with a suffix that specifies the radio frequency.
