    Overview This chapter describes: • the main features of the 8570 and 8571 remote control system (2-1) • the various ways of setting up the remote control system (2-5). The remote control system is used to control a selected range of Codan high frequency (HF) transceivers.

  • Page 16: The Console

    Overview The console For information on the buttons and knobs that control the console, refer to the 8570 and 8571 Remote control operators handbook, Chapter 2, Overview, The console. Power The console is powered from the AC mains— 100/120/220/240 V. An optional stand-by battery is available.

  • Page 17: The Interface

    2-wire land lines or 4-wire radio links can be accommodated. Mounting options The interface is mechanically similar in size to the Codan range of transceivers and power supply units. You can stack it with the transceiver and power supply (as shown in Figure 2.1) or mount it in an optional sub-rack frame.

  • Page 18: Selective Calling

    9360, Selcall is fitted as standard. It is optional if the transceiver is a 8525 or 8528. You can control all aspects of selective calling from the 8570 remote control console, including programming scan channels and accessing the transceiver’s call memory.
