The AR-2000 is NOT capable of being triggered into a record mode externally from contact closures or other methods of triggering. The AR-100 CAN be triggered for remote recording and phrase deletion from contact closures using Binary Playback mode. See Section 3 of the AR-100 Owner’s Manual for an explanation of Binary Playback. See the entry in the AR-100 database titled "Remote Record Capability" for instructions on how to set up the AR-100 for remote record capability.
