Clear-Com’s fail-safe design automatically shuts down the power to a channel when a short circuit or electronic overload is sensed on that channel. The other channel will continue to operate normally. Once the fault condition is removed, the MS-702’s fail-safe circuit will restore power, even under full load conditions. -
