Get those walking shoes out because the NAB Show approaches and lots of great new equipment will be on display, including Dielectric’s new OptiLoad transmission load protection system.
A release explains, “OptiLoad breaks new ground by using programmable logic controls (PLCs) to sense rising RF power and temperature levels, awakening the system to take action. OptiLoad’s PLCs also monitor the health of the demand-driven circulator pumps and fans that are activated to address RF flow and temperature rises.”
It offers more specificity: “The OptiLoad design includes a water column load that Dielectric has offered for two decades, with more than 5,000 units shipped worldwide. Using the water column load as a building block, Dielectric has added a built-in heat exchanger responsive to PLC activation. The water column load can run without coolant flow or fans activated with powers up to 5 kW. This ensures plenty of headroom when RF is detected and the coolant and fans start to operate prior to the load seeing 5 kW.”
OptiLoad itself is in a wheeled aluminum container for mobility.
Dielectric President Keith Pelletier said “For our customers, it addresses the all-too-frequent failures in the RF chains and a peace of mind that they have a solution that they do not need to worry about. The OptiLoad was customer-driven and we listened to their concerns about reliability and required features.”
Visit Dielectric at Booth W3333 at the NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 13–17.
