Telenetics MIU9.6FPD manual Product Overview

2.PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The MIU9.6FPD is an industrial grade Digital Fast Poll modem designed for multidropping applications over unconditioned metallic lines (eg; pilot wires). Available as single channel device (MIU9.6FPD), 2-channel device (MIU9.6FPD/D) or repeater (MIU9.6FPD/R)

The MIU9.6FPD can be powered from a wide range of AC and DC power supplies, it is internally surge protected on both the power and analog lines, and it will operate in temperatures from -40 to +85 deg C.

Internally, the MIU9.6FPD consists of a baseboard and a communication module. The baseboard includes the power supply regulation and surge protection. The communication module is a Telenetics™ Pony Express™ PE9.6FPD Modem Module.

The MIU9.6FPD is packaged specifically for the harsh environments found in utility substations and industrial facilities. Though functionally similar to commercial modems, the MIU9.6FPD includes special features that make it particularly well suited for utility and industrial applications:

Environment: The MIU9.6FPD has been designed specifically for use in harsh environments. In addition to an extended temperature range (-40 to +85º C), the MIU9.6FPD includes surge, shock, vibration, and safety features superior to those of conventional commercial modems.

Power Supply: The MIU9.6FPD can be powered from a broad range of AC and DC power supplies, such as an auxiliary supply (eg; 12VDC) from another piece of equipment, 125VDC from a station battery or a standard 120VAC.

Industrial: The MIU9.6FPD is packaged in a rugged, compact, non-metallic (ABS) enclosure. Designed for unmanned locations, the MIUs do not include the array of pushbuttons and LEDs normally associated with consumer-type modems. Configuration is by dip switches. Standard industrial connectors for data, analog and power interfaces allow reliable interconnection to other industrial components.
