Gentex Electro-Acoustics Gentex Electro-Acoustics designs, develops and manufactures military and high-end commercial voice-communication products. Our R&D team pursues technological advances to create breakthroughproducts. We work interactively with our customers to meet the most demanding requirements.We possess ISO 9001:2000 certification, and a well trained, dedicated staff with extensive experience in quality electro-acoustic product manufacture.LIGHT VEHICLE INTERCOM SYSTEM (LVIS®)Light Vehicle Intercom System (LVIS), is a simplified, compact, and rugged system which provides reliable intercommunications and radio interface for crews of light strike and reconnaissance vehicle and vessels. Our basic system accommodates up to four crewmembers and connects up to three radios. Gentex offers various headwear to compliment LVIS, including ballistic helmets and noise-attenuating headsets. LVIS V5The LVIS v5 is a compact intercom system for tactical vehicle crew intercommunications and radio access. LVIS is lightweight, rugged and highly reliable.LVIS provides crisp, clear, full duplex intercommunications among up to five crewmembers with a 28dB range of listening volume. DC power through the crew member connection ports enables the use of Active Noise Reduction (ANR) equipped headgear.Radio access can also be configured separately for each crewmember during installation to enable or disable transmit and receive capabilities over a connected radio system. When more than one crewmember has radio-transmit enabled, LVIS provides commander radio-transmit priority.INTERCOM CONTROL BOXConnection ports for commander and four crewmembersRadio port interfaces to radio switchbox for connection to radio systemInternal settings establish which users have TX and RX radio function access11VDC to 32VDC power inputRADIO SWITCH BOXConnection port for intercom control boxThree radio connection ports Radio select switch determines which radio is selected for TXRX from all radios is summedCREW CONNECTION POINTThe crew connection point remotes a crew connection and avoids a long cable safety-hazard.DUAL PTT ADAPTERThe dual PTT adapter enables dismounted use of headwear traditionally used on mounted-only applications: simply pop the lower retractile cord and go.It has a dual intercom mode selector compatible with LVIS, VIC-1, VIC-2, and VIC-3 (VIS) intercom systems, and allows personnel to dismount from the vehicle and still maintain communications through a portable radio.
