Specifications

MOD 232 Architectural and Engineering Specifications

  • The infrared system shall consist of separate modulator and emitter units, with portable receivers. The modulator unit shall be a half-rack style, metal enclosure. A rack panel shall be available to mount one or two modulator units within a single EIA rack space. An adjustable floor stand and mounting bracket shall be available to mount the modulator and emitter together for portable operation.
  • The modulator shall provide two channels of selectable FM carrier signals, 2.3/2.8/3.3/3.8 MHz, so that a single modulator can be used to simultaneously transmit up to two channels, and two modulators can be ganged together to transmit up to four channels simultaneously. The carrier signals shall use 50 kHz deviation and 50 µS pre-emphasis. The carrier signals (baseband) shall be transmitted to one or more emitters by 50 ohm RG58 coaxial cable with BNC-type connectors. A BNC–type baseband input jack and baseband output jack shall be provided on the modulator. The modulator shall be powered by an external 24 VAC, 10 VA, 
  • 50-60 Hz power supply, connected via a three-pin Molex power connector.
  • It shall have a rocker-type power switch, power LED indicator, four carrier indicator LEDs and two bar graph-type LED audio indicators. The modulator shall have a modulated IR LED on the front panel for testing purposes, and a headphone jack that accommodates mono and stereo 1/4” headphones, and channel monitoring switch. The modulator shall have two rotary audio input level controls, and a screwdriver adjustable control for varying the input compression from 1:1 or 2:1. The modulator shall have two timers that automatically shut off the carriers when there is no audio signal present for 15 minutes. The modulator shall have two combination input jacks that accept 3-pin XLR plugs for balanced microphone input or 1/4” TRS plugs for balanced or unbalanced line-level inputs. The XLR inputs shall be low impedance, accept signal levels from 100 µV to 90 mV and supply 15 V simplex power per DIN45596. The TRS jacks shall accept balanced or unbalanced audio signal levels from 21 mV to 10 V. The modulator shall have CE, FCC, RoHS, and WEEE approval and carry a five-year parts and labor warranty.*
