  • Accepts SMPTE / EBU or IRIG-B (modulated and unmodulated TC), automatically determines TC type and switches to the alternate source if TC is lost or if a problem is detected in the primary TC source.
  • Decodes both sources of incoming TC, compares availabity and quality of both sources to a third internal standard maintained within the changeover unit, and makes logical decisions concerning TC status for the purpose of automatic switchover.
  • Front panel switches allow manual selection of source A or B or automatic mode.
  • "Good" / "Fail" indication and selection status of each TC source and the changeover unit is shown with front panel LEDs.
  • An auxiliary A/B source can be switched along with the TC. This auxiliary switching is a relay contact and can be used to switch any low level control or signal source.
  • Internal alarms sound (can be disabled with jumpers) upon loss or failure of a source of TC or switcher unit. A relay contact closure is provided for an external alarm. Alarm can be reset from front panel.
  • Status and other system information is provided via a simplex (one way) RS-232, 9600 BAUD
  • Operates from 120/240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz, with external wall-mounted UL/CSA approved power supply (supplied) or external 12 - 28 VDC source (not included).
