Ecreso Switch Controller – Simplify & Secure Your Antenna Maintenance
Overview
The new Ecreso Switch Controller (ESC) is a single, centralized unit designed to control and monitor RF switches at transmitter sites for analogue or digital Radio or TV. Reliable, robust, and easy-to-use, it facilitates and secures maintenance and antenna switching operations while maintaining high uptime and staff safety.
Key Features:
- Centralized Control: Single unit to control up to 5 RF switches.
- Continuous Monitoring: Provides constant system control and monitoring, both locally and remotely.
- High Reliability: Ensures robust performance and safety in high RF fields.
- Configurable Setup: Adaptable to the number of transmitters, antennas, patches, or switches installed on-site.
- Safety Focused: Enhances safety for technical staff in complex, high-risk environments.
Product Benefits
- Single, Centralized Unit: Automatically controls up to 5 RF switches as commanded by the user.
- Continuous System Control: Local and remote monitoring to maintain constant system oversight.
- Secures Operations: Operates securely in high RF fields, ensuring staff safety.
- Robust and Reliable: Provides consistent monitoring and testing for fault and lock conditions.
- Configurable Presets: Easily adaptable to different setups and requirements.
Technical Functions
- Full Control & Monitoring:
- Controls and monitors up to 5 antenna switches.
- Local and remote control available based on user access levels through web pages, SNMP, GPIO, or the front panel.
