Section 5 – TX Normal / ECS Select

The Tx Normal / ECS Select section has a similar Toggle function as the
Main/Standby function.

/Tx Toggle 3 (from Console 3)


There are four logic outputs:

Section 6 – TSAM Force Select Output

When one of the Toggle sections (typically the TX Main/Standby) is used to
control the TX Select (TXS1 & TXS2) inputs on the TSAM Transmitter Steering
Unit, the TSAM requires an additional Force Select input. Section 6 provides a
square wave output with a period of about 1 Hz. This ensures that the TSAM's
outputs will switch within 1 second of the output change in the CCU.

The Force Select output is not fed back to the MCNRCD network, since it would
only add a lot of unnecessary channel traffic.
