1.3 4033A Overview
The TSC 4033A is a one input, fifteen output 5 Volt pulse distribution amplifier housed in a 1U high 19 inch rack
mount chassis. It provides fifteen outputs from a single input. An Ethernet port on the rear panel provides the
capability to remotely monitor the status of the input and all output signals. Any input or output failure in the unit
will immediately provide an alarm to this port. The front panel provides green LED status for the input and
green/red for all output signals, as well as indicating an input of 1 PPS, DC IRIG, or Other. A green LED on the
front panel also provides power status.
