Product Overview
Used Telewave PM5C1S Automatic Alarm Panel – Centralized RF System Monitoring
The Telewave PM5C1S Automatic Alarm Panel provides centralized status and fault indication for RF power systems. Designed to monitor multiple transmitters, combiners, or antenna feeds, it alerts operators to abnormal conditions such as power loss, reflected power imbalance, or system faults through front-panel indicators and alarm relays.
Telewave has long been trusted by broadcasters and RF system integrators for precision monitoring and rugged reliability. The PM5C1S extends that reputation—offering engineers a dependable method to supervise complex transmitter networks from a single, unified interface.
Product Condition
Used, in good cosmetic condition with scuffs and scratches from normal use and storage. The unit has not been tested and is sold as-is based on visual inspection only.
Product Overview
This PM5C1S alarm panel functions as a centralized hub for fault detection and alarm management in RF transmission systems.
