8143 Signal Selector/Distribution Amplifier
Signal Selector/Distribution Amplifier - Model 8143

- Oscillator Failure Detection Automates Switchover to Backup Frequency Source
- Distribution Outputs Control Up to 12 Transmitter Channels
- 5-Year Limited Warranty
Product Overview
The Model 8143 Signal Selector/ Distribution Amplifier detects failure of either input signal and provides manual or automatic switchover between two frequency sources. The selected input is distributed via twelve buffered output line drivers.
In the automatic mode, Channel A is selected when it is present. Switchover occurs when Channel A is removed, when an alarm is sensed, or when a manual selection is made. In manual mode, switchover is operator-controlled.
