LinkSwitch
The LinkSwitch is an interface device that enables individuals to activate battery operated devices using Adaptivation's Taction Pads or any conventional adaptive switch. Simply plug a Taction Pad (or other switch) into the LinkSwitch then touch the Taction Pad to activate adapted toys, keyboard interfaces, adapted tape recorders, battery interrupters, sensory stimulus devices or virtually any battery operated device which has been adapted for switch input. The LinkSwitch is dual-channel and comes with one Taction Pad.
With the combined functions of the LinkSwitch and Taction Pads, teachers, therapists and care providers can turn nearly any surface or object into a "switch." A glass, picture board, toy, even a tape recorder could become the target object for activating a device.
Each unit can operate in four different modes: momentary, latching timing and alarm activation. In timing mode the output will always "time out" even if the input switch is continually held down. Timing varies from 1 second to 60 minutes.
The LinkSwitch is ideally suited as an interface between the Adaptivation's communication devices (VoicePal Levels, Chipper, Sequencer and Randomizer) and battery operated devices. The LinkSwitch add latching and timing capabilities to these devices' relay activation feature. The LinkSwitch was designed to withstand rigorous environments.
