DESCRIPTIONST-32 DC Line Termination Panel

The Selectone ST-32 Line Termination Panel is a small circuit board designed to interface most DC remote control consoles to the base station radio. When used as part of a DC remote control system, the ST-32 provides an economical way to optimize the location of radio transmitters or to provide low cost radio extensions within an office building or plant site.

Measuring only 2.6" L x 1.9" W x 1.0" H, the ST-32 is small enough to be mounted inside many radio base stations. The ST-32 is shipped with a modular RJ11 phone jack, a 7’ line cord, and a 42A wall mount terminal block. The ST-32 also comes with double-sided pressure sensitive tape for mounting and 18" color-coded flying leads for radio connections. Controls are provided for transmit and receive line levels. Form "C" relay contacts are provided for PTT, F1/F2 select, and Monitor.

FEATURES 

OPERATION

The ST-32 interfaces the base station radio to a single pair of metallic wires. It is then possible to transmit (two frequencies), receive (one frequency), and disable the tone protection (Monitor) by passing known DC currents to the ST-32 via the control wires. The same pair of wires is also used to pass transmit and receive audio between the radio equipment and the remote control equipment. Current detection is provided by optical isolators, while outputs are Form "C" relay contacts.
