IEL PRODUCTS AND VALUE ADDED
In this section, you will discover why purchasing Siel products is a wise decision. Siel’s extensive experience in
broadcasting devices is in itself value added, and the company is unequalled in terms of safety, regulatory conformity,
technical support, and a high level of return on your investment. These are not empty words, as you will see below.
3.1
Full conformity to EC regulations
As is well known, broadcast devices must conform to strict regulations in terms of quality, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.
The latter aspect is of particular importance, as it ensures that the transmitter does not interfere with other devices and that it is not
interfered with. In ensuring electromagnetic compatibility, a number of extremely precise measurements are taken that are often
performed by people using inappropriate or uncertified devices; therefore, any results obtained under such conditions are unreliable.
For example, if a user is not equipped with an extremely expensive, large anechoic room duly certified by a competent body,
measurements may be rendered entirely useless.
Siel is particularly careful about guaranteeing its clients conformity to regulations. To this end, after having taken measurements
during the research phase, Siel uses a certified laboratory and an international certification body (Rasek) to certify the full conformity
of its products based on measurements taken according to regulations.
3.2
Quality in series manufacturing
A famous ad running since the 1980’s guarantees “reliable quality over time”. In order to ensure that each device produced in series
conforms to testing and validation regulations, Siel is ISO 9000 certified.
3.3
Overdesigning for performance
Siel understands that, in order to guarantee extended performance times without servicing, the parts most subject to stress must be
overdesigned. To this end, we have paid particular attention to creating the stages of RF power and the device’s power supplies,
designing them so they can provide and manage power levels much higher than the nominal values indicated in the specifications.
People with experience in this field will gain a full appreciation of this aspect after having read through the entire manual.
3.4
Savings on all fronts
Choosing a product merely because it costs less than another one doesn’t make sense if its performance costs are high. For this
reason, Siel has undertaken to ensure that its products provide maximum return on the investment made in purchasing them. In
particular, the EXC-GT series transmitters are distinguished by the following features:
Savings in electrical consumption
– the high yield allows for significant savings in terms of electrical energy consumed. In
terms of the RF power supplied, a smaller electrical bill “reimburses” the user a portion of the purchase cost – month after
month. This may seem insignificant, but if you compare our 4 KW transmitter to the average comparable product available on
the market, the savings in electricity consumption cover the full cost of the device within just over three years.
Economy of space
– the exceptional compactness of EXC-GT transmitters significantly reduces bulk, and therefore the rental
on locations in which the transmitters are installed.
Lower transportation costs
– the light weight of EXC-GT transmitters also results in lower transportation costs – an aspect
that considerably lowers the total “keys in hand” cost.
Less maintenance
– the high energy yield also means less heat dissipation and less wear on components, minimizing service
calls and their associated expenses.
