DEVICE DESCRIPTIONS
External Pilot Tone Configuration
connected in parallel. The DCS 423R module switches the output signal of a power amplifier that fails to operate
over to the corresponding spare amp. This configuration demands for the least amount of modules.
(with 19kHz Pilottone)
The following table shows a listing of needed modules for the configuration of different spare systems using an
externally generated pilot tone signal.
DCS 421R
SETUP
5-98
This configuration is used for the spare device switching in single program
installations, i.e. when a single LF-signal is fed to several power amps, when at the
same time the pilot tone signal is generated by an external source (e.g. DPM 4000),
consequently not employing a DCS 422R module. The power amps inputs are
