The CDR-3 provides five LED status indicators. The module is su-
pervised for loss of RS-232 communications from the host panel. • Trouble output for coder failure

50 active codes. The coded output is available as both 1KHz au-
dio tones and a normally open or normally closed (jumper selecta-
ble) dry relay contact, which follow the code. The form C duration
relay activates whenever PSNI code is being sent. This relay can
be used to transfer the coder output while the coder is operating.
At the end of the PSNI code sequence, the coder can be config-
ured to output a continuous temporal or march time output.

MTM-1, March Time

The MTM-1 coder is used in applications requiring a March Time
Code for chimes, bells, horns or flashing lights. The MTM-1 is
activated by applying power to the module. Upon the application
of power the code begins according to the jumper settings for the
selected code. The output coder relay is used to interrupt power
to the NAC riser.
