Efficient power supply solutions.

Some radio devices require up to five different voltages. A power supply simplifies the testing process by providing multiple voltages and parallel outputs when needed. If more than 100 or 150 watts are required for a particular radio, the power supply's virtual channel function is used to connect up to three devices in parallel, which are then controlled as if they were a single output.

The relay disconnect and current measurement functions of the power supply are valuable tools for testing the radios. Before applying the power supply to the radio, a relay cut-off enables a safe switch-on test without the need for operator intervention. The current measurement function enables simple and effective monitoring of the radio's current consumption without the need for measuring resistors in the cabling.

Based on the results of these tests, technicians can determine whether a radio is operational or whether it needs to be sent to the depot for repair. Find suitable products in the following overview.
