Talkie Tooter Canada Ltd.

Incorporated in 1973, Talkie Tooter Canada Ltd. is the largest
designer, developer and manufacturer of radio communications
systems for the timber harvesting industry in Canada. Our plant
occupies 10,000 square feet encompassing design, manufacturing,
sales and service. We presently have distributors/dealers in New
Zealand, Australia, Chile and the USA.

Our Portable Radios are designed specifically for heavy industrial applications. These portable radios provide clear and reliable two-way radio communications. Our in-house, thermo-forming machine produces the rugged waterproof 'Kydex' enclosures and the speaker/microphones are assembled in a durable polyurethane housing. All design, assembly and testing is done at our facility giving us the ability to adapt quickly to market demands.

The Talkie Tooter Radiowhistle System has become the industry
standard for safe, efficient signalling for logging, cable, yarding or tower operations. Our Patented 'Safety-Tone' TM system prevents accidental cross-signalling. Solid state electronics and rechargeable NIMH batteries are housed in an aluminum extrusion covered by a rubber boot. The Talkie Tooter 2D receiver is housed in a waterproof rugged metal enclosure and plug-in circuit boards are shock mounted to provide many years of reliable service.

We welcome your inquiries for more information about our products
and services.

Intercommunication Systems

Telecommunications Equipment
Talkie Tooter Canada is the largest designer, developer and manufacturer of radio communications systems for the timber harvesting industry in Canada. Systems include: Radiowhistle systems for cable yarding; Grapple Radio systems for grapple yarding; Carriage Radio Systems for skyline logging; Two-way Portable Radio systems for logging and Industrial applications and the Radio Remote Firing Device for the detonation of explosives.

Radiowhistle System
The Talkie Tooter Radiowhistle System has become industry standard for safe, efficient signaling for logging, cable yarding or tower operations. Our Patented 'Safety-Tone' (TM) system prevents accidental cross signaling. The Talkie Tooter 3BC transmitter is activated with two switches for safety: (1) mercury switch controlled by tipping the transmitter and (2) magnetic switch controlled by squeezing the spring attached under the antenna. Solid state electronics and rechargeable NIMH batteries are housed in an aluminum extrusion covered by a rubber boot. The Talkie Tooter 2D receiver is housed in a waterproof rugged metal enclosure. The plug in circuit boards are shock mounted to provide many years of reliable service. A built in voltage converter allows the base to be connected to either 12 or 24 volt yarding machines. The Radiowhistle System can also be used for remote control applications requiring single function control. The portable transmitter will operate up to one kilometer under most industrial conditions.

Industrial Portable Radios
The Talkie Tooter Industrial Portable Radios are designed specifically for heavy industrial applications. These portable radios provide clear and reliable two-way radio communications. Housed in rugged waterproof Kydex enclosures they will provide many years of trouble free operation under the worst of conditions. The speaker/microphones are made of durable polyurethane. Internal nicad batteries provide enough power for a 10 hour shift. The transceivers are programmable to ensure fast turn around when frequencies must be changed. They are available in six channel models in either VHF or UHF with power levels from .5 watt to 5 watt. The portables are equipped with two push-button switches. One is used to turn the tone squelch off for channel monitoring and the other can be used as an alternate push to talk switch. These portable radios meet all required FCC, Industry Canada and New Zealand standards and are the ultimate for industrial applications.

Grapple Radio System
The UHF7 Grapple Radio System is designed specifically for grapple yarding operations. This system provides clear and reliable two-way radio communication as well as whistle control for the yarder horn. The base and portable transceivers meet all WCB and IC standards for grapple yarding operations.

Radio Controlled Carriage System
The Talkie Tooter carriage control system can increase productivity with safety, of employees who move logs with a motorized carriage. The Talkie Tooter carriage radio remotely controls the functions of the skycar. Functions commonly utilized by carriages include combination of the following: up and down at various speeds, stop, start, kill engine, set and release brake, set and release clamp. The carriage receiver may be operated by any member of the crew who may be equipped with belt-mounted Talkie Tooter transmitter, and possibly by the yarder operator via a transmitter mounted in the cab. There are certain functions which cannot be activated until other safeguards are met, i.e. set clamp then release brake, preventing accidents. All functions are initiated with 2 pushbuttons on the transmitter.

Remote Firing Device
The 1664 Synthesized Remote Firing Device is an intelligent and discrete 2-way VHF or UHF radio controlled detonation system. The radio signal is digitally encoded (addressed). The receiver is encoded with the same address. The latest microprocessor and message encoding/validation technology has been combined to provide a SAFE, RELIABLE, ACCURATE AND COMPACT Remote Firing Device. The 1664 Synthesized Remote Firing Device has the capability to initiate non-electric shock tube as well as up to 10 standard blasting caps wired in series. The system can be used repeatedly throughout an operation and will give 'answer back' or confirming status of the receiver at a distance up to 1 mile. At distances of more than 1 mile and less than 5 miles, the command will be executed; assuming the receiver is within range. The receiver can be held in the standby mode for 7+ hours and still maintain the energy to initiate shock tube or blasting caps. The 1664 Synthesized Remote Firing Device includes redundant internal safety circuitry and a timed automatic disarming feature. If the receiver does not receive a properly addressed firing signal within 2 minutes of being armed, the system automatically returns to the disarmed state. The transmitter and receiver are packaged in separate heavy duty, waterproof cases. For handling and transporting to the work site, the receiver is nested in the transmitter case. The receiver includes a handy accessory pouch mounted in the lid. The cases provide shock and environmental protection to the system while being used. Tests included multiple drops of over 10 feet onto concrete and water submersion.
