Davicom - MAC208 & MAC216

Thanks to their modular design MAC units can be configured for small and large sites.

Multiple Input/Output configurations allow you to choose the appropriate size of MAC unit. Expansion can be achieved by networking up to 4 MAC units through Ethernet connections.

VIRTUAL INPUTS/OUTPUTS AND TIMERS:

Virtual Logic Gates 128 Program conditional actions and complex logic functions, to control relays, set qualifiers, view flags or other events. In addition, MAC units have qualifier and inverter functions on all inputs.
Virtual Relays 128 Use the latch and pulse functionalities to qualify conditional actions without using physical relays.
Timers 128 Set date/time events & windows. For example, AM antenna pattern changes with specific time windows for each month.

FEATURES:

INPUTS / OUTPUTS

  • MAC units use industry-standard 50-pin Champ connectors for all its Input/Output points.

REMOTE CONTROL, MONITORING AND INTERROGATION

  • Ethernet jack #1 allows fully integrated IP capability, including the ability to send alarm messages through e-mail;
  • Telephone jack allows remote control/monitoring/interrogation through landline. Monitor audio inputs live over the phone and send commands using DTMF tones;
  • Serial ports IOIOI #1 and #2 allow remote control/monitoring/interrogation through GSM, satellite or landline external Hayes-compatible modems;
  • Line-in audio jack allows remote monitoring in stereo of external audio sources.

LOCAL CONTROL, MONITORING AND INTERROGATION

  • USB port to connect to a laptop (from the MAC's front panel);
  • Serial port to connect to a laptop or PDA2 (from the MAC's front panel);
  • Stereo headphone jack to locally monitor audio inputs (from the MAC's front panel).

SITE MAINTENANCE

  • Local and pause push buttons (on the MAC's front panel) allow on-site technicians to work safely.

ON-SITE ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT

  • Ethernet jack #2 can ping up to 32 on-site ancillary equipment (or connect a master MAC unit to a slave MAC unit);
  • Serial ports #1 to #8 can control on-site ancillary equipment in pass-through mode;

ON-SITE PERIPHERALS

  • USB port to connect, for example: external memory for data logging, an external modem, etc.;
  • Microphone jack to connect surveillance microphones, for example;

FAILURES

  • Line-out audio jack allows audio streaming from studio to site in case of STL failure, for example;
  • Plug for an AC/DC converter to monitor power fail on mains;

1 No voice interface and no DTMF control when external modems are used.
2 Serial port adapter for PDA not included.
