RMLT.465275.001 manufactured by Armtel LLC, and is intended to familiarize the User with the device and the procedure for its operation at the installation site. The DCN-15A module is a compact 15-channel converter of the E1 digital interface into analog low-frequency communication lines and discrete control lines, for providing communication with analog communication and signaling equipment as part of a distrib- uted operational and technological communication system and DCN public addressing.
During installation and operation of DCN-15A, observe the safety measures specified by local regulations on electrical safety. When using DCN-15A for its intended purpose, it is necessary to comply with the safety requirements determined by the "Labor Protection Rules for the Operation of Elec- trical Installations"...
Note - The manufacturer reserves the right to change the appearance of the product, which does not affect the installation dimensions and operation of the product. DCN-15A can be used in public address systems in metallurgical, chemical, oil refin- ing, nuclear (including nuclear power plants), oil and gas industries and similar ones in terms of application, as well as in transport.
