Telemetry readings are reported with a male human voice. The basic system consists of an RFC-1/B and an RP-8 relay panel that provides eight channels of telemetry and raise/lower control. Eight relay panels can be connected for a maximum of 64 channels. The RFC-1/B can be programmed to perform automatic power/pattern changes and log readings. It also can be programmed to alert station personnel during an alarm condition. For telephone line and telemetry signal surge protection, the company suggests the SP-8 surge protector. For more information, contact Sine Systems in Nashville at (615) 2283500 or visit www.sinesystems.com. Relio From Audemat Delivers With ScriptEasy V2 The Audemat Relio is a 1U enclosure facility management unit that provides 64 digital inputs, 64 digital outputs and 24 analog inputs, four serial ports (RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485), two Ethernet ports, four USB ports and one phone-line connector. It is now delivered with new ScriptEasy V2 graphical software that includes the new MasterView viewer. MasterView is a graphic user interface that allows fast and flexible creation of multiple “views” where users can see information from and control remote equipment over a network connection. Simply drag and drop I/O data and logic functions to generate monitoring and control scripts. Also part of the package is a voice DTMF interface with an included library of some 700 words and the capability to upload user created voice files. The Relio is “IP-based.” It supports HTTP, SNMP, FTP protocols. It includes a SMTP server for alarm sending via e-mails. Also new is the capability of monitoring and controlling equipment using SNMP GET/SET commands as well as PING commands. For more information visit www.relio.us. GORMAN REDLICH DIGITAL ANTENNA MONITOR MODEL CMR — Remote Controllable Digital Antenna Monitor — 2 tower Price $3200 additonal towers $200 each The Model CMR is a state of the art instrument of unequalled accuracy and stability. With typical modulation, the CMR’s true ratio readout is a factor of 10 more stable than instruments that measure normalized amplitude. • True Ratio reading. Non-Reference and Reference amplitudes are separately measured and divided electronically to give an accurate digital reading. • Stable, accurate phase reading with automatic phase sign. • Amplitude or True Ratio may be selected for measurement with a front panel switch. • Dual Surge Protection.

COSTLY FCC TLM-1 features include: • Total monitoring of incandescent-type tower lighting systems • Individual alarm outputs for photocell, flasher, beacon and marker failures • Easy setup — one button calibration FINES FOR LIGHTING VIOLATIONS! • Easy to install — installs inside the transmitter building, even if the lighting control equipment is located at the tower • Insures total lighting compliance — alarms for single bulb failure (marker and beacon), beacon flash rate or on/off ratio outside of FAA specifications and photocell failure • Failsafe alarms — alarm outputs are normally closed with no alarm condition. Power failure causes alarm open-circuit condition • Compensates for antenna tuning unit bulb on the same circuit • Simple design using off-the-shelf components; all ICs are socketed • General alarm output for any failure type • Status outputs for lights on/off and beacon on/off • LED indicators for each alarm and status output • Opto-isolated outputs to protect external site monitoring equipment For more information go to towermonitor.com.
