Installation & Operation continued A. EL0304 Terminal Block Board (TBB) EL0305 TBB/Amplifier EL0305 is used for remote high frequency electronic registers accepting quadrature signal, when the cable distance is in 200-600’ (60-180 m) range. For greater distances external amplifier (2xPIA-300) is required.

Installation & Operation continued C. EL0300 Scaler/Calibrator/Linearizer (SCL) SCL is not yet approved While the SCL can have multiple functions, in many for use in the cases it is included strictly as a signal conditioner (= ‘Jitter filter’). In those cases, only the calibrator function is active.
