The Elenos ETG20 FM transmitter isperfect for LPFM. Save on your electric bill with our energy saving transmitter lowest powered transmitter. 150 watts of pure reliable power. Comes with built-in stereo exciter.
EFFICIENCY AND ENERGY SAVINGS AT ALL POWER LEVELS
The Indium series of transmitters boast a certifiable efficiency rate of 74%. That means
savings in electrical, operating and cooling costs. Thanks to the lower operating temperature, the life of the transmitter is extended.
ULTRA COMPACT SIZE: CONCENTRATED POWER
The Indium series of transmitters is two rack units high, and less than 33 pounds: That's a fraction of the weight of similar devices, giving you savings in space and even shipping costs.
PLANAR TECHNOLOGY
The Indium Series uses the planar technology for the entire RF section (RF modules, combiners, splitters and low-pass filter). This minimizes internal connections and soldering. That means increased stability, simplified maintenance and an overall increase in reliability. The chances of failure are severely reduced, and maintenance is simplified.
ECOSAVING
Thanks to our efficient design, the internal temperatures of the transmitters remain outstandingly low. Energy savings, long product life and even environmental protection are guaranteed. Want to see how much? Calculate your savings with this tool!
EASY SURFING"": SIMPLE AND IMMEDIATE MONITORING
Controlling Indium is easy. It's possible to configure all the parameters of the transmitter by simply navigating through the software menus using a front panel control knob. Easy Access buttons take you directly to the main functions of the transmitter, so you can operate them quickly. Operating parameters such as voltage, temperature, power, among others, are shown in an O-LED display. Indium transmitters also include LEDs that provide a quick snapshot of the status of the equipment. Complete monitoring capabilities of all parameters on transmitter are easily accessible.
NO CORROSION
To combat high humidity conditions, all of our circuit boards are protected with a spray coating to prevent corrosion or shorting. An aluminum chassis is used to further avoid corrosion. To combat humidity we pay particular attention to the air flow inside the transmitter. These are some of the things that make Elenos transmitters so reliable. We use multiple fans for cooling, however all of the fans can stop running and the transmitter will stay on the air - albeit at reduced power. To prove our point, watch this video. (video link) By doing these things, we ensure that the transmitter can work in the most extreme environmental conditions.
CONNECTIVITY
All Indium transmitters feature TC/TS for integration with remote control systems. Plus, remote control can be carried out directly from an iPhone or Android phone, using our app and e-Box.(link to e-Box) The transmitter can store up to 6 different profiles of operation. All working parameters are configurable. (Such as frequency, power, audio modes and levels) Our Echo6 N+1 interface allows the transmitter to be used as a reserve in any N+1 system, with any manufacturer's transmitter. Indium Series Transmitters are supplied with Ethernet port for connecting to a network with TCP/IP or SNMP. The transmitter also has an integrated web server for control over the internet. The transmitter can be equipped with an internal GSM modem for management over SMS. This features a full range of quick and remote diagnostics. HostLink standard protocol makes it simple to handle large amounts of data to diagnose remotely.
