EFFICIENCY AND ENERGY SAVINGS AT ALL POWER LEVELS

The Indium series of transmitters have gone beyond the limits of technology and devices of today. Its levels make a big difference in operation costs, and the heat reduction increases the useful life of the transmitter.

ULTRA COMPACT SIZE: CONCENTRATED POWER

This new series of transmitters consists of no more than two rack units and less than 33 pounds: half the weight of similar devices, with great advantages in terms of Shipping and handling.

PLANAR TECHNOLOGY

The Indium Series widely uses the planar technology for the entire RF section (RF modules, combiners, splitters and low-pass filter), to minimize internal connections and soldering. With all this, stability increases, chances of failure are severely reduced, and maintenance is simplified.

ECOSAVING

Due to the high electrical efficiency, the internal temperatures of the transmitters remain outstandingly low. Energy saving, environmental protection and long product life are guaranteed. Calculate your savings with the tool on the left side of this page!

"EASY SURFING": SIMPLE AND IMMEDIATE MONITORING

Indium has also given special attention to ergonomics. It's now possible to configure all the parameters of the transmitter by simply navigating through the software menus by using a control knob. The transmitter features some easy access buttons as well which take you directly to main functions of it, so you can operate it immediately. All operating parameters such as voltage, temperature, power, among others, are shown in an O-LED display. Transmitter also includes a series of LEDs that provide a quick snapshot of the main state of the equipment. Complete monitoring capabilities of all the parameters featured on the transmitter usually allow maintenance to be performed without special instruments.

NO CORROSION

In ELENOS, we pay particular attention to the flow of air inside the transmitter, so we make sure that the direct flow of cooling air doesn't come in touch with the equipment's electronic boards by inducing a process of tropicalization, so all these boards are protected from moisture. The transmitter's parts are all-aluminum in order to avoid any kind of corrosion. By doing all this, we ensure that the transmitter can work in extreme environmental conditions.

CONNECTIVITY

Features TC/TS for integration with exchange systems and the interface at each remote monitoring system, carried out directly by the device's software. The transmitter can store up to 6 different profiles of operation where you can configure all its working parameters (frequency, power, audio modes, levels, and more). Six relay outputs with indication of the profile in use. The interface allows the transmitter to be used as a reserve in any N+1 system. Transmitters from the Indium Series can be supplied with Ethernet port for connecting to a network with TCP/IP – SNMP. The transmitter also has an integrated web server for control over the internet. (This option will be available soon). The device can be equipped with an internal GSM modem for management over SMS. (This option will be available soon). Features a full range of fast and remote diagnostics. HostLink standard protocol makes it simple to handle large amounts of data to diagnose remotely.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE OLD SERIES (ETG3U) AND NEW INDIUM SERIES (ETG2U)

Electrical Efficiency
The old series had an efficiency between 55 and 65%, while the new series efficiency is between 72 and 78%

Reliability
The old series was founded in 1998, and uses an old technology. The new series came out with the latest techniques and components, RF circuits are designed in planar technology which provides greater repeatability of performance, greater circuit simplicity, a smaller number of components. The high electrical efficiency considerably reduces the temperature increasing the reliability.

Weight and dimensions
The new series, thanks to the new planar technology, and to the increased electrical efficiency, could benefit of size reduction (two units instead of three). The higher electrical efficiency has contributed to reduce size and weight: the improvement is that was possible reducing the heat exchange system (sinks)

Total Control
The old series 3U ETG has limited remote control functions. The new series 2U ETG can remotely analyze a huge amount of technical data relating to the operation of the equipment. Advanced telemetry and remote control utilities have been implemented, plus all the full functionality for using it as a reserve in N +1 systems.

High power
The old series ETG 3U could reach a capacity slightly more than 1000W, the new 2 units series easily reaches a power of 2000 W

User Interface
In the new ETG2U series is used a stylish OLED display with high-resolution, high contrast that allows easy analysis of data in any light condition. It also has a digital encoder for navigating menus, and buttons for quick access to basic functions.
