Universal Checkback Standalone System
UCBS
-
The Universal Checkback Standalone System (UCBS) provides periodic testing of "ON-OFF" carrier sets other than the TC-10B and the UPLC/UPLC-II (which incorporate this same checkback tester internally). The UCBS determines the functionality of the complete channel including the transmitters, receivers and associated coupling equipment. Periodic testing is required for the normally "off" channel, to provide warning of signal deterioration prior to needing it for relaying, The UCBS facilitates automatic testing of the channel at preset intervals. The UCBS is totally field programmable. All programming is done with a computer using the RS232 serial port or limited factory settings with switches on the Checkback module. Front panel LEDs indicate the factory or custom setting applied and the status of alarms.

Modular Relay Board
-
Alliance Support Partners, Inc.
An increasing number of electronics products are being assembled in panels of 8 or more to minimize production cost. These products are typically tested with in-circuit tests (ICT) followed by power-on functional tests. Normally, ICT requires isolation of power and ground while measurements are being performed. Functional tests, including in-system programming (ISP), require board power to be applied. The Modular Relay Board (MRB) is designed to switch power onto each individual board and to disconnect sensitive signals during functional test.
