Our technical staff is always available for consultation, training, or service. Overview DETOUR is a is a 12G capable point of use distribution amplifier with relay bypass. The bypass relay allows the unit to be used as a failsafe device to provide guaranteed on-air service in the case of a power failure. -
Page 10: Operation
Operation DETOUR has built in hysteresis mitigating bypass relay ‘chattering’ as a result of bypass error conditions coming and going. DETOUR offers two modes for the bypass relay logic: Fast Recovery and Standard Failover. Fast Recovery Mode The bypass relay acts immediately on the first two bypass error condition state changes (e.g. error, error cleared), then applies a user-configurable timer to prevent multiple state change triggers. -

- Page 18 The Relay Bypass on Lock Error feature has an adjustable time out hysteresis to prevent a bypass on every lock error. The hysteresis may be varied in sensitivity to prevent bypass relay “chattering” on a signal that contains noise that makes it difficult for the reclocker to lock to. Set the slider to 1 for very sensitive, or to 100 for less sensitive.
