Model 251 DC Remote Base Station Adapter
Zetron’s Model 251 adapts most E&M/Local control devices, such as consoles or desktop remotes, to convert them to 2 or 4-wire DC Remote Control to control a DC remote fixed radio station. When used with the Zetron Model 250 Tone Remote Adapter, the combination may be used to convert tone remote control devices to DC remote control. The Model 251 supports up to 15 binary I/O or serial controlled DC currents in the range of +/- 0 to 15 mA.
