They offer alarms for power failure by relay output which are triggered when either of the redundant power sources fail.
Both product lines come in hardened aluminium cases, operate at temperatures from -34 to 74C, and comply with the stringent NEMA TS1 and TS2 environmental requirement for use in traffic control equipment.
The XPress-Pro SW 52000 series comes in 5-Port 10/100TX or 4-Port 10/100TX with a 1-Port 100BaseFXmm SC connector option.
