Lattainer Equipment Shelter Reticulation
We
have reticulated our Lattainer for the DMC system. In order to change
to a SRLA system, we either change the transmission rack or use adapter
plates on the existing installation. Our radios and rack configurations
are 2/2/2/ @ 40 amps. This can be upgraded to 3/3/3 @ 68 amps etc. Also
2 Omni @ 24 amps. We use between one and six radios but usually use two.
On the 2/2/2 setup we use 4 modules one being standby. Our batteries are
100 amp/hour but do go up to 150 amp/hour.
Because of our Lattainer size they are versatile enough to accommodate
most networks. They are used for Omni and dual band Transmission sites.
Although the above description is an example of possible layouts, the
Lattainer Shelter can be reticulated for most requirements. Our unique
feature is that we install the AMF (Automatic Mains Failure) Board, AC
Board and automatic change over switch. We use a PLC as the main controller
in the AMF. This means that the AMF is generic. It can be programmed to
talk to most generator sets.
