DESCRIPTION
The Clear-Com PS-702 is a single-rack-space, one- or two-channel intercom
power supply which can provide 1.2 ampere (2 amperes peak during call
signals and other temporary events) per channel to operate Clear-Com
beltpacks and remote stations. This power is supplied to either or both
channels, and will support up to 40 beltpacks or 10 speaker stations.
Clear-Com’s advanced fail-safe design can sense the difference between a
short or an overload to optimally protect itself. Power is restored in as little as
0.5 seconds, depending upon whether there was a single or multiple short or
overload. The other channel continues to operate normally. The PS-702’s
advanced fail-safe circuit will bring the power back up even under full load
conditions. LED indicators signal a fault on either channel. A line-level
program input offers a master input level. Individual program selects, each
with its own send level, are provided for each channel. Use of a switching
power supply allows the PS-702 to operate with any AC line voltage from 100
to 240 volts AC at 50 or 60 Hz. The sturdy metal chassis and extra-thick front
panel with integral rack ears maintains legendary Clear-Com ruggedness.
