Voting DIGIVOTE^® VD30 parliamentary

The wireless voting unit VD30 interactive is the successor of the proven VD20 handheld and is based on 30 years of experience at BRÄHLER ICS in the field of voting technology. 10 digit keys plus decimal and minus key allow any numeric data input, not only to choose from given options. A CLEAR button works as backspace or clears the entire input. Depending on the voting mode each input is transmitted automatically or after confirming with the ENTER key. The successful transmission can be visualized on the LC display if desired (Acknowledge voting). A backlit graphical LCD allows display of both numerical and alphanumerical characters, readable in the dimmed conference environment and in direct sunlight.

Proven radio technology
Radio transmission is done on proven 433 MHz ISM band. Five different radio channels can be used. This enables the parallel operation of multiple voting systems in directly adjacent rooms without any interference.

Additionally, the DIGIVOTE system is largely immune to radio frequency interference from WLAN, Bluetooth, mobile phones, etc., in our days omnipresent in modern conference environment. A sealed membrane keyboard protects the upside of the keypad against spilled conference drinks. During a conference event, the voting units are permanently in ready-to-receive mode. So that the correct function, the charge of battery and reception status can be signaled to the PC application at any time, as well as messages can be sent to an individual voting unit or to all of them. Because of their particular operating characteristics and differentiated battery-saving modes a long standby time is guaranteed. An expansion port connector allows the unit to be open to further applications like independent storage of voting data.

The storage and charging case TK50-DVIII carries 50 VD30 voting units and recharges all of them. Even there the units can respond to radio communication, can be checked for rechargeable battery status and e.g be set all at once to a different radio channel for the next event, which is much more convinient rather than doing this individually one by one.
