Overview

Converters from FCS100 series are packaged in a compact standard 1RU enclosure. In the Dual on Tray configuration, it offers both compact assembly and easy servicability. The straightforward front panel operation, and RS232 terminal mode enables quick on-site setup Offered remote management interfaces ensure complete flexibility of integration into existing or new installations. The user-friendly front panel or the RS485 remote interface will provide full set-up and fault monitoring facilities Ethernet option will allow the operator to pilot system operation either through SNMP or Web based interface. Delivered spectral purity, low phase noise and stability exceed the requirements of all major international satellite network operators. The system reference guaranteeing conversion function’s accuracy can optionally be provided externally, internally as a highly stable temperature compensated oscillator, or with auto-detection capacity that will use internal reference only in the absence of an externally provided one.

Application

The FCS range of converters is particularly suited for use in VSAT, SCPC Networks, SNG, DVB-RCS and Hub systems were compact redundancy is required. This makes them an ideal choice for large earth stations requiring cost effective solutions for frequency conversion. The lightweight, rugged and compact design also ensures that the HP converter provides the ideal solution for mobile truck or flyaway DSNG systems. With fully welded aluminum chassis and robust modular internal construction the converter can even meet the demands of military installations. The HP range of converters provides an industry leading MTBF of over 120,000 hours.
