Partyline: Can the MS-702 PL panel power one channel while the other is shorted?
Question: Can I continue to use the MS-702 party-line mains panel if one channel reads a shorted line? Is the second PL channel still capable of working properly?
Answer: The MS-702 provides DC power to operate Clear-Com beltpacks and remote stations. The power is distributed between the two channels and will support up to 40 RS-601 beltpacks or 10 speaker stations or 12 headset stations.
Clear-Com’s PSU (power supply unit) design automatically shuts down the power to a channel when a short circuit or electronic overload is sensed on that channel. The other channel will continue to operate normally. Once the fault condition is removed, the MS-702’s power supplys circuit will restore power, even under full load conditions. LED indicators signal a short or overload on either channel.
The DC power output details are:
• 1.2A continuous output
• 2A peak output (not exceeding the 1.2A rating for more than 2 seconds per 1 minute period)
The MS-702 will operate from any AC line voltage between 100 and 240 volts AC at 50 or 60 Hz.
