Ascom 9DLD2-AB Locator

The Ascom 9DLD Locator, Version C (Art. No. 9dLD2-AB), sometimes listed as 9DLD2-AB/2A, is a DECT-based location device designed for use with Ascom's IP-DECT system to determine the position of handsets by monitoring radio signals. It supports up to four antennas (internal or external) and can be configured via RS232 for parameter settings and software updates, enabling flexible deployment in complex layouts. Operating on 12–24 V DC with a typical power draw of 0.7 W, the unit transmits location information alongside alarms to convey a handset's position in real time within the network. Manufactured by Ascom (Sweden) AB, the 9DLD Locator complies with applicable regulatory standards, including FCC Part 15 and EU RoHS, ensuring safe integration into enterprise deployments. In typical deployments, it integrates with the Ascom IP-DECT architecture to provide location context for alarms, enabling staff to respond rapidly by pinpointing the handset's approximate location within the premises.
