EC-696
Analogue Communications Training System
The Analogue Communications training system has several types of emitters, transmission channels, receivers,
modulators and demodulators, in order to shape a transmission system easily. For instance, it permits to compare
the advantages of several transmission systems to others, including those fibre-optics based, or to analyse interference
phenomena.
Ease of use and the capability to measure the electrical signals throughout the equipment has been taken into account
by means of a series of test points. To this end, circuitry is located into a desk-like cabinet, with a transparent
fold-down cover for a complete access. The equipment is composed of one Emitter set and one Receiver set, to be linked
during training, by the selected transmission method.
EMITTER MODULE EC-696/E
The EC-696/E emitting system is provided with several inputs where
generators or microphones can be connected. A set of sequential controls
allows the equipment to be configured quickly, by selecting the input,
modulation (AM, FM, PWM) or transmission modes through five different
channels: twin cable, coaxial, fibre-optic, infrared or radio. This equipment
allows to transmit two different channels independently by means
of frequency division multiplexing (FDM).
RECEIVER MODULE EC-696/R
Signals processed by the EC-696/E can be received and demodulated by
the EC-696/R. This system is configured by four pushbuttons and a logic
control, the same way as in the emitter. The demodulated and separate
signals received can be displayed on the screen of an oscilloscope or
monitored by means of earphones.

OPTICAL OUTPUTS
The emitter kit has six cyclically selectable
photoemitters. Two photoemitters may be
activated at the same time for the WDM
application (*). The photoemitters have
a protection circuit to limit optical power.
MILLIAMMETER
The emitter kit consists of a
digital milliammeter showing
the polarisation current
flowing through the chosen
photoemitter. The channel to be
measured is selected with the
"mA METER CH1/CH2" button.
LASER FEEDBACK
The nature of the LASER means that its optical power may be
influenced by external factors such as temperature, ageing, etc.
The feedback circuit is able to maintain a stable and unalterable
optical power no matter what the external conditions are.
The system can operate with the feedback circuit ON or OFF so to
test its efficiency and the problems caused by its disconnection
and/or malfunction.
RECEIVER KIT WITH OPTICAL POWER METER
RECEIVER
The receiver kit principally consists of two independent blocks
(except for the input circuits: photodetectors and switches), one
for the signal and the other for measuring.
The signal block contains two channels, also independent, one for
receiving analogue signals and the other for digital signals.
The measuring block contains the power meter, enabling operation
in four different modes: analogue, digital, 1 kHz and DC.
OPTICAL INPUTS
The receiver has four incorporated photodetectors and an external
photodetector (optional) that connects to the "EXT. SENSOR" input
by a coaxial cable (optional).
DIGITAL CHANNEL SIGNAL BLOCK
The signal entering the digital channel follows a series of filtering
and amplification processes for subsequent comparison with a
reference level.
The amplitude of the channel output may be selected as either TTL
level or RS-232 level.
OPTICAL POWER METER
This block performs the absolute or relative measurement of the
received optical power. The optical meter possesses four measuring
modes, selected by the user.
ANALOG (monitoring mode).
DIGITAL (monitoring mode).
1 kHz (precision mode, for measuring the 1 kHz component).
DC (precision mode).
The resolution of the power meter in the monitoring modes is
0.1 dB, and 0.01 dB in the precision modes.
ANALOGUE CHANNEL SIGNAL BLOCK
The resolution of the power meter in the monitoring modes is
0.1 dB, and 0.01 dB in the precision modes.
The signal block possesses a switch to select the type of coupling,
DC or AC, applied to the first amplifier input and to the analogue
channel output section.
The audio section consists of an independently-adjustable low-pass
for regulating the level of the signal applied to the internal speaker
or headphones.

OPT-850-A
DVB-T Transmitter-Receiver System
Thanks to the possibility of DVB-T signals broadcasting
through an antenna it is possible to simulate a real broadcast
transmission. Moreover, using an additional antenna it makes
possible the analysis of the DVB-T signal including every parameter
involved, in such way that the student is able to understand
the pros and cons of the different configurations.
By means of the use of OPT-870-A option the student will
experience every concept related to DVB-T:
Number of carriers (2K or 8K).
Constellation (QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM).
Guard interval.
Code rate.
Hierarchical Transmission.
Bitrate.
Bandwidth.
Spectral inversion.
Transmitted power.
Etc.
The chance to change the parameters of the DVB-T makes
possible for the student to experiment on the results of them
on the transport stream.
The transmodulator can use an external transport stream
or generate it internally. The external transport stream will be
generated from the DVB-S input (the transmodulator will use
its built in DVB-S receiver) o directly from its serial input (ASI);
in both cases the student can adjust the transport stream bitrate
to adapt it to the input speed required.
OPT-850-A consists of:
MO-163 transmodulator.
2 high performance UHF Yagi antennas.
Coaxial cable.
Connectors.

ET-836
Telephony Training System
The Telephony Trainer ET-836 is an educational integral system destined to the learning of the theory and the practise
of PABX stations, the indoor telephony networks and the telephony systems, as well as to the development of the skills
of installation and assembly.
It works as a standalone training system, with no need of any telephone line for the trainee sessions. The system
is capable of carry out internal calls and also to simulate, transparently to the user, incoming or outgoing calls
from outside the system.
The training system is fully configurable, based on a
white slate support with removable universal panels
of fast fixation, composed by the following elements:
Last generation of PABX station, with 2 external
analogue lines, 4 indoor analogue lines and 4 ISDN
lines (basic access So: B+B+D).
Urban Central module (which incorporates
tarification circuits controlable by the user) that
provides 2 external lines, simulating an urban
analogue central telephone office, and allows the
generation of failures.
Canalisation Module that allows the generation
of failures on the internal telephone lines and the
variation of its parameters.
Telephone distributor, for the interconnection and
allocation of lines.
Also are included telephone bases for the connexion
of the analogue terminals and RDSI are included,
cables, connectors and tools to implement any typology
of telephony network.
The fast fixation universal panels have their surface
grooved, of such form that the disposition of the drills combined with the positioning
of the nuts allows the fixation of all the provided elements, with the exception of
the telephone terminals.
Each one of the ET-836 modules has an active block diagram,
with telephone connectors and test points, that allow the connexion
of telephone lines and the terminals. In the test points the telephone
signals can be observed, to analyse their different states
and to measure their parameters. Also they allow the study
of the typical errors of wiring.
PABX station can be connected to a PC, via modem or directly, through
Software of Programming and Configuration.
From his PC, the student can control, analyze and configure the
management of the PABX system. Software also can run off-line
so that they can be made practices of programming in any PC
with no need of the trainer..
The Urban analogue telephone station module, simulates the external
analogue lines of a public telephone station, so that they can be
generated external calls or to receive outer calls independently, with
no need to require of the hiring of real telephone lines.

EA-815
Television Antenna Training System
This training system is fully configurable, based on a whiteboard
structure. Each board is made up of 2 detachable plates.
The student can configure, adjust, install, modify and analyze any
kind of actual installations of MATC, SMATV and CATV.
The universal plates are easily removable from the boards,
in such a way that the system will be divided into different
subsystems in order to be operated by different student groups
and making possible to do it simultaneously. Once every part is
assembled, each universal plate should be fixed to the board
brackets. Afterwards every connection should be made and
eventually the system is ready to be programmed.
The white blackboard panels are erasable, what enables
the teacher to draw the receiver configuration, amplifier,
and distribution to be implemented by the students. It’s also
possible to make notes.
The universal plates are quickly detachable or fixed. They have
a surface with grooves, in such a way that every component can
be easily mounted and fixed using the provided fastening nuts.
Once every teaching practice is finished, the different parts that
form the installation are very easy to dismantle to make it ready
for the next exercise.
The training system is supplied with an already mounted and
configured antenna installation. Thus the system is ready to be
operated and used from the first day.
Its flexibility enables the student to test and practice with the various
solutions for the installation suggested by the teacher, and then
to compare the pros and cons of every possibility. Moreover,
failures and breakdowns can be simulated by the teacher and
then asked to be solved.
Jointly is provided a Digital Television receiver (DVB-T) and
one digital satellite receiver (DVB-S), just like that one IF simulator
and accessories for propping up the antenna.
In order to implement any other typology or to modify the
installation already mounted, several materials are supplied:

TM-530
Application Programming and Development Trainer
with Programmable Logic Devices
The TM-530 trainer is an innovative educational tool specifically
created for easily learning the design, programming and
development of applications using programmable logic devices
(PLD). It may also be used professionally as an agile testing
instrument for designing logic circuits without the need of creating
connections or welding, or wasting time building circuits.
The instrument consists of:
- Wiring configuration and programming software
- PLD application design, compilation and simulation software
- Hardware module + ISP devices (in system programmable)
- Documentation (CD-ROM)
The configuration software enables PLD connections to be
graphically assigned to the various components that make up the
hardware module, without the need of the student to physically
having to create the connections. The same software loads the
application files (previously generated by the design software) onto
the hardware module ISP device, "in system programmable".
Using the PLD application design, compilation and simulation
software, the student enters the logic circuit design with diagrams
or ABEL-HDL to generate the JEDEC file, which is then recorded in
the PLD.
Operation of the design may be functionally simulated before recording.
The hardware module is then used by the student to test the real
operation of the application. The hardware module includes two
Lattice devices (ispGAL22V10 and ispLSI1024), null insertion
socket for GAL devices and a wide range of inputs/outputs
(micro-switches, buttons, clocks, LEDs, displays and A/D
and D/A converters, etc.) assigned by the configuration software.

Didactic panels for electrical installations
The installation panels are practical elements, specially designed to create an environment as versatile as possible
to the most appropriate installation which the students can found in the daily life after completing their training.
These panels are particularly designed for workshops, colleges and general training centers, where the structure
is easily adapted to the technology such as electronics, electricity, home automation, alternative energy, etc.
EASY INSTALLATION
The panels are ready for instant assembly without tools and without
any kind of accessory modules. The different components are placed
in the proper position for easy onward connections.
On each panel 60 modules of 70 x 70 mm can be assembled, or the
equivalent surface can be filled with larger modules.
The panels include a protective device (electronic fuse), which can avoid
short-circuits and over-currents. This protection is similar to the one offered by
the electromechanical devices such as ICP or as the solid state relays.
The main difference between the built-in protective device and a conventional
one is the high cutting speed. This speed allows focusing the short circuit
in a single place, and therefore it does not affect the rest of the installation.
It also reduces significantly, and almost cancels, the blast produced by
direct short circuit, and avoids the creation of the arc during the delay time
of the trigger, protecting the contacts associated of the solid state relay.
This feature extends the life of the electromagnetic component.
It also counts with electrically isolated remote control via optical couplers,
which can detect the trigger of DISAPCE and rearm it from distance. It counts
with audible acoustic alarm, which can be reactivated by button or key. This allows
the teacher to control the assembly of the circuits.
