The RU-TPS4A is a four output
audio sender, signal and power distributor module compatible with RDL Format-A
twisted pair products. Three
line-level sources may be connected to the module using the +4
dBu balanced detachable terminal block. A bank of studio-quality buffer amplifiers feed the three pairs of the four rear-panel RJ45 OUTPUT jacks at the correct operating
level.
Three RDL Dual-
LED VU meters are provided on the front panel of the RU-TPS4A. One meter
monitors the
audio level on each of the three FORMAT-A
audio pairs. A
GAIN trimmer adjacent to each meter allows front-panel adjustment of each
audio input for optimum operating
level.
The RU-TPS4A is constructed in the durable MAX RACK-UP chassis which facilitates mounting three distributors in a single
rack unit. Installations requiring more than four distributed outputs are easily accommodated by mounting one or more
RU-TPDA Distributors adjacent to the RU-TPS4A. A wide variety of mounting accessories are available in the RDL RACK-UP series. A power
bus in each RU-TPS4A allows power to enter one module at either side of the
rack. The included power jumper cable provides a simple method of interconnecting the RU-TPS4A to an adjacent distributor module, so
multiple modules can be operated from a single power supply.
The RU-TPS4A is powered directly from a 24 Vdc power supply using either one of the power jacks or the detachable terminal block. Local power connected to the module is also fed to all modules connected to the OUTPUT RJ45 jacks. The power feeding each OUTPUT
jack is separately protected by an automatically resetting
fuse. A power
LED is associated with each OUTPUT
jack, facilitating identification of wiring faults. Module power is indicated by a front-panel
LED.
