MODEL 5052RD-K-H — ALERT2 HDR Receiver/Decoder
General Description
The Model 5052RD-K-H Receiver/Decoder receives ALERT2 HDR radio data transmissions from remote sites and provides serial and TCP/IP data output for the base station computer. The Receiver and Decoder are combined in a single desktop enclosure; rack mount brackets are included.
The enclosure should be located near the antenna tower to reduce RF transmission line loss. A lightning arrestor with ground lug (optional) is recommended between the receiver back-panel BNC connector and the antenna. Two front-panel LEDs show when radio signals are received (BIT SYNC) and decoded (FRAME SYNC).
ALERT2 decoder data output is through the back-panel RJ45 network or serial connector, supporting multiple server and client TCP/IP connections in ALERT2 Decoder ASCII and Binary formats. Power is a fused 12 Vdc input from a 5030-PS supply (optional) or 5081-18 battery with 5030-8 charger (optional); a UPS is recommended to prevent data loss during outages. ALERT2 technology licensed from Blue Water Design LLC.
