WorldCast Systems offers a standard three-year warranty on parts and workmanship from the date the transmitter is received; this warranty can be extended to five years. WorldCast Systems also offers on 5 and 10 kW transmitters of the range a ten-year warranty.
FM transmission. With all the key advantages of the core ECRESO range, the ECRESO FM 5kW and 10kW add a whole new dimension of reliability, redundancy and overall efficiency. The power amplifiers, power supplies and even the fan modules are fully hot swappable and redundant and a completely passive 6-way coupler ensures that, should one of the amplifiers suffer a fault, the transmitter can stay on-air with minimum power loss indefinitely until the fault is rectified.

The protector principle is to capture the surge and divert it to the ground so as to protect the transmitter and its power supplies. The surge protector used by WorldCast Systems includes multi-MOV technology and a gas discharge tube (GDT) giving a very high protection and very low parasitic capacitance and leakage currents.
