The CT-4SM monitors Digital Audio signal quality on up to 4 digital audio streams (8 channels) simultaneously. The CT-4SM checks for signal integrity, type, and parity. The unit tolerates a single parity error typical of switching from one source to another, but will not tolerate multiple parity errors typical of a faulty or noisy data line.

The CT-4SM provides verification of signal quality back to the signal source. The CT-4SM also aids in finding the root of a problem without unnecessary false alarms.

Status LEDS indicate which channel faulted and caused an alarm. The LEDS indicate the faulted channel and if the fault still exists. The CT-4SM effectively traps and indicates intermittent conditions.

Each of the four streams may be asynchronous (different clock reference/phase) with respect to the other streams.

Active channels are either GREEN (Good) or RED (Fault). CT-4SM auto-detects unused channels and turns unused channel LEDS off.

Channel Talker Specifications:

4 Stream inputs: Each channel is high impedance for signal pass-through. AES/EBU 48KHz compatible, 75 ohm BNC connector. For Pass-through, an external "F", "T", or equivalent connector is required (not supplied).

Alarm Output: Dry contact relay rated 125VAC @ 1 amp or 24DC @ 1 amp (non-inductive). Normally open and closed contacts. Relay is in alarm condition with power OFF. Front Panel reset of alarm.

LED Indicators: LEDs tell the whole story:
- Green solid ON = healthy active AES signal (No Alarm);
- Green blinking = signal had faulted ,but is good now (Alarm ON);
- Red blinking = signal has faulted, and is still bad (Alarm ON);
- RED solid ON = Signal has faulted, is still bad, and alarm has been canceled;
- OFF = no signal on channel, or channel unused.

Input Voltage: 7VDC to 14VDC (12VDC nominal) or 6VAC to 12VAC 50/60Hz. Connector 2.1mm X 5.5mm X 11mm (inside x outside x Length). Unit is compatible with automobile battery voltage (13.2VDC).

Input Current: 75ma Maximum.

Input Power Supply: Two 120-240VAC to 9VDC @ 200ma converters.

Temperature: 0 C to 50 C (32 F to 125 F) non-condensing.
