| The Penta 4052 PC3
Audio Station Controller provides an economical and compact alternative to
controlling existing or new base stations.
The PC3 provides many
flexible alternatives in a base station controller application. Each
alternative is either an integral function, or a simple add-on option of the
PC3 |

Mechanically, the unit is
suitable for rack or shelf mounting occupying from 1¾" to 3 ½” (depending on
the modules installed) of vertical rack space. The electronics module
consists of a double sided printed circuit board utilizing 2 ounce copper
with plated-through holes, solder mask for moisture resistance, and silk
screened component designation for ease of installation and maintenance.
Field connections are made on rear mounted plug-in terminal strip
connectors. These connectors permit field terminations of varying wire
sizes from 30 to 14 gauge. The 2 piece connector configuration
facilitates rapid replacement without disturbing field wiring. LEDs, switches, test
points, and potentiometers are provided behind a fold down front panel for
easy access. The entire electronic assembly slides in and out of its formed
metal enclosure by removing two shipping/retaining screws. |
| Because of the flexible design of the
PC3, it is suitable for a wide range of applications. The PC3 is used for
base station control, as a remote station controller for PA/VMS control
applications, as an RF repeater controller, and as an UHF/VHF link
controller. The PC3 baseboard is equipped with four module slots allowing
custom or semi-custom modules to perform functions not provided on the base
unit |
The PC3 will operate in
temperatures from -40 to +185 degrees F (-40 to +85 degrees C) and 95%
humidity, non-condensing. The PC3 may be stored in temperatures from
-40 to +185 degrees F (-40 to +85 C). |
