Control Unit Product Specications

CCU-22 / CCU-44

Overview

The Control Unit (CU) is the foundational element of the CrewCom system and establishes the CrewNet-based infrastructure while also providing external connections to common, established intercom systems.
By design, the CU contains no radio and is frequency agnostic and can therefore control and monitor any device across CrewNet regardless of radio frequency bands being utilized.

Key Features

• Each CU supports up to 18 active Radio Packs (RPs) across all RF bands

• Easy-to-use interface with large informative backlit display and clearly laid out quick­access controls

• Simultaneously active 2-Wire and 4-Wire intercom connections

• Front panel USB ports for Radio Pack pairing, CrewCom device rmware updates, and
conguration le uploads

• Duplex LC Single Mode Fiber and traditional Cat 5e or greater CrewNet connections

• LAN port for CrewWare connectivity via computer network

• Front panel headset monitor station

• Stage announce audio output

• AUX In/Out for program input and intercom audio output

• GPO Contact closure relays (x 5)

• Sync input to receive sync from another CrewCom system
