Description
Managing class schedules, shift changes, emergency tones, and daily announcements across a campus or facility shouldn't require constant manual intervention — the Viking CTG-2A is a network-synchronized clock tone and message generator that automates all of it with CD-quality audio and flexible programming.
With up to 14 schedules, 1,000 events, and 6 minutes of WAV-quality record time, the CTG-2A handles everything from simple bell schedules to complex multi-zone event sequences. Automatic Daylight Saving Time and leap year correction mean the schedule never drifts without manual adjustment. NTP clock synchronization keeps the unit in lockstep with your network time server. Four programmable trigger inputs allow emergency tones or override messages to fire from external devices — door contacts, panic buttons, or fire alarm panels. PC programming software and RS485 clock SYNC terminals for remote master clock control round out the integration options.
Our Expert Take: The CTG-2A is the go-to for K-12 schools, universities, manufacturing plants, and healthcare facilities that need reliable automated tone and message delivery without a full PA system upgrade. The NTP synchronization and 1,000-event capacity mean it scales cleanly from a single-building bell schedule to a complex multi-zone paging environment.
