• •TB8100 base stationThe Tait TB8100 base station combinesground-breaking DSP digital design and proven RFanalogue hardware technology.With flexible, modular design, practical features and valuefor money that Tait is renowned for, the TB8100 raises thebar for analogue base stations. It offers 28V technologyfor superior performance and reliability.What's more, it’s even easier to use. Flexible software withan intuitive user interface is at the heart of the TB8100,making it very integrator friendly and expandable.Its practical easy-to-use features coupled with impressiveRF performance help make the TB8100 the next generationanalogue base station.• •• •• •large heatsinks to aid cooling• •• •• •• •• •• •efficient modular design (rear view)• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •rugged passivated steel chassis

FeaturesDigital Controller DesignDesigned from the ground up, the TB8100 features astate-of-the-art RISC processor and Digital Signal Processor(DSP), providing very fast, reliable data processing throughthe latest in digital technology.28V TechnologyMore powerful than most base stations in its class,the TB8100’s 28V technology promises more efficientuse of both energy and frequency bandwidth. Taittests the TB8100 to transmit continuously at fullpower with ambient air temperatures as high as +60ºC(140ºF) at 4572m (15,000 feet).Advanced Programming CapabilitiesThe TB8100’s intuitive yet comprehensive programmingsoftware with Graphical User Interface (GUI) lets youmanage and program over 150 critical parameters, includingall monitoring, configuration management and powermanagement features.User Specific ApplicationsAdditional customised programming is made easy withthe TB8100 Task Manager - there's no need for intrusivehardware add-ons. The TB8100 can readily accommodateyour specific signalling, notification or alert needs. Programthe unit to automatically switch to a backup base stationif the self-monitor determines a problem, and choose fromthe wide range of alarm notification options to suit yourspecific solution needs.Self-Monitor CapabilityThe TB8100 manages self-monitoring parameters in itsnon-volatile memory, requiring no external costly monitorunits, saving money, time and hassles. The advancedmonitoring system will read the base station’s currentstatus, determine the appropriate required action, andperform that action while alerting central control.Robust SpecificationsBuilt to exceed standard specifications, the TB8100 isdesigned to withstand extreme temperature conditions.Engineered for maximum reliability, the TB8100 haslarge heatsinks, advanced cooling, and the intelligence tomaintain the highest possible levels of service inadverse environments.Peak RF PerformanceWith outstanding specifications for selectivity, adjacentchannel interference and fast key-up times, the TB8100base station was designed using the best RF practices. Youcan depend on the RF performance of this base stationeven in the most extreme temperature conditions.Convenient Modular DesignDesigned for ease of hook-up and adaptation in the field,the TB8100 is configured with front-loading modules thatcan be mixed and matched to meet your system needs.Whether expanding from 50 to 100 Watts, moving fromsingle to dual channel operation, or replacing the PA orsystem interface board, the TB8100 gives you the flexibilityto make changes in the field. A clean back-panel designhides the usual rear unit wiring clutter displaying only theconnections required to link to your external radio system.Additional Features• Interoperability with virtually any existing system• Compact 4U Rack Profile• Built-in CTCSS/DCS Tone Panel• Dynamic Power Control System for various Sleep Modes• Dual Audio Paths on Tx and Rx• Dial-Out Alarm Service and E-mail Status MessagesPower Management SystemThe comprehensive power management system providesthe ability to automatically switch between AC andDC power, to move to battery operation in thecase of power failure, and to provide auxiliary batterycharging and management.Complete Remote AccessibilityThe advanced intuitive interface of the TB8100 Service KitSoftware makes remote management of your system simple.The self-monitoring application has dial-out capability soyou are immediately notified of potential issues. Over 150parameters on the system can be managed remotely withthe TB8100 Service Kit Software.
