TC-18 Scalable Based Controller
ELTEC has been a leading provider of programmable time clocks used primarily in the traffic industry to control flashing beacons in school zones. Like the NTC-17E that precedes it, the TC-18 has 1 or 2 separately programmable relay outputs. It also includes an integral DC flasher. Complete programming from a keypad with easy to follow ‘common sense wording’ on the LCD screen allows on site testing and programming updates/changes.
The scalable TC-18 is easily upgraded to a TC-3000 IP addressable network time clock. The printed circuit board includes a socket to facilitate the addition of a 900 MHz spread spectrum radio. Upgrading is literally a snap! With the addition of the plug-in radio and an antenna, the TC-18 is capable of receiving programming from a computer through a gateway via spread spectrum radio.
The TC-18 provides a cost-effective solution wit minimal initial investment when updating existing clocks or new installations. Positioning for the future is now a reality. The TC-18 operates on either 120VAC or 12 VDC (solar).
The optional Windows based DLPRO 18 software was developed for intuitive navigation. Each window uses virtual graphics with drop-down calendars and rime tools with easy to understand programming screens.
