Transient Suppressor
Part #: TS-1
The TS-1 Transient Suppressor provides transient voltage surge suppression for equipment connected to a dial telephone line with standard RJ-13 or RJ-11 connectors. The high quality die cast aluminum enclosure houses a passive, three-stage protection device designed to conduct destructive energy safely to ground.
Both RJ connections are protected, while allowing the normal ring voltage and voice or data to pass unimpeded. Studio or transmitter audio equipment connected to a two-pair dedicated stereo telco circuit may be protected with the TS-1.
Data Access Arrangement for RSI
Part #: DAA2
Replacement Data Access Arrangement for the RSI used in ARC Plus Touch and ARC Solo
Precision RF Sensor
Part #: PRF-1
The Precision RF Sensor produces scalable DC samples from any directional coupler, providing reliable forward and reflected power indications, permitting accurate VSWR calculation. The sensor connects to the directional coupler through a type “N” Connector. Bring the sample into any remote control system, or use with the Plus-X VSWR for monitoring of antenna sites with Arcturus or ARC Plus. Each transmission line typically requires two RF sensors, one for forward power and one for reflected power.
Wide frequency response from 50 to 1000 MHz enables accurate measurement of individual transmitter outputs or multi-channel RF signals such as those found in combined antenna systems. The Precision RF Sensor accommodates signals with high or low peak to average ratios, making it suitable for both analog and digital power measurement.
The unit can be installed on any directional coupler equipped with a Type N connector, without the need for additional mounting hardware.
Tower Light Monitor
Part #: TLM
The TLM is a universal lamp alarm relay designed to sense the failure of flashing or steady incandescent beacon lamps or steady side lights. The toroidal current sensor provides islolation and allows monitoring of more than one line at a time. The TLM energizes when one or more lamps fail. It will monitor the operation of up to four side lights or four beacon lamps.
Tower Light Monitor - LED
Part #: TLM-LED
The TLM-LED is a universal lamp alarm relay designed to sense the failure of flashing or steady LED beacon lamps or obstruction lamps. The TLM-LED energizes when one or more lamps fail. It will monitor the operation of one to eight beacon or obstruction lamps. All monitored lamps must be the same wattage and voltage. When properly integrated with ARC Plus or ARC Solo systems, it provides the remote lamp monitoring protection required by the FAA-AC No: 150/5345-43E.
When a lamp fails, the TLM-LED senses a decrease in current flow. After a 10s trip delay, the onboard LED glows and the two alarm outputs energize. The outputs and the LED are reset when the failed lamps are replaced and the unit is recalibrated. Removing the input voltage de-energizes the output and the LED‘s.
Line Voltage Sensor
Part #: LVS
Monitor AC Power Circuits
Each LVS monitors a single phase AC power circuit and provides a low-voltage DC output sample that tracks linearly with the AC input voltage. Additional LVS units can be added to monitor multi-phase AC power systems.
AC Current Sensor
Part #: 910-093-001
Combined Transformer and Signal Conditioner
The AC Current Sensor combines a transformer and a signal conditioner into one package. The AC Current Sensor has a selectable input range and an industry standard 0-5VDC output. The AC Current Sensor is designed for application on "linear" or sinusoidal AC loads and is housed in a solid-core case.
STM-4D ARC Solo Temperature Module
Part #: STM-4D
The STM-4D enables the ARC Solo rear-panel sensor input for up to four metering channels for use with all Burk Technology digital temperature sensors. The STM-4D comes with a free TEMP-OUTDOOR digital temperature sensor.
TEMP-STACK Sensor
Part #: TEMP-STACK
The TEMP-STACK Sensor is a digital stack temperature sensor designed for sensing heat within the air ducting of your equipment. Temperature accuracy: ±0.5° C from -10° C to 85° C. The TEMP-STACK Sensor is attached to 25’ of cable with an RJ-12 connector. The sensor is mounted in the tip of a 3/8” diameter chrome tube. The supplied mounting hardware consists of a base and a compression fitting to allow the sensor to be secured at variable depths. This allows the installer to locate the sensor up to 9 1/2” from the equipment wall, well within the airflow being monitored.
For use with Climate Guard and Plus-X EM Environmental Monitors, ARC Plus systems equipped with a Plus-X EM unit, and ARC Solo systems equipped with the STM-4D Temperature Module option.
