3. First Aid
Thepersonnelemployedintheinstallation, useandmaintenanceof thedevice,shall
befamiliarwith theory and practice of first aid..
3.1 Treatment of electrical shocks
3.1.1 If the victim is not responsive
Follow theA-B-C's of basic life support
• Placevictimflatonhis backon a hard surface.
• Openairway:liftupneck,pushforeheadback(Fig.3-1).
• clearoutmouthifnecessaryandobservefor breathing
• if not breathing, begin artificial breathing (Figure 3-2): tilt head, pinch nostrils,
makeairtightseal,fourquickfullbreaths.Remembermouthtomouthresuscitation
must be commenced as soon as possible
Figure 3-1 Figure 3-2
• Check carotid pulse (Fig 3-3); if pulse is absent, begin artificial circulation
(Fig.3-4)depressing sternum (Fig. 3-5)
Figure 3-3 Figure 3-4 Figure 3-5
• Incaseofonlyonerescuer, 15 compressions alternated to two breaths.
• Iftherearetworescuers,therythmshallbeof one brath each 5 compressions.
• Do not interrupt the rythm of compressions when the second person is giving
breath.
• Call for medical assistance as soon as possible

4. General Information
The devices of which the SCM-TLC system consists are all made in 19" 2U rack
containers,withtheexceptionoftheTLC300,whichis19" 1U size.
Entirelyassembledwith modulesfittedonthe baseofthedevice andconnectedwith
snap-infittingconnectors,theyareeasilyremoved, substituted and added.
Onthefront panelisacleargraphicaluserinterfacewhichallowsyouto readandset
theoperatingparameters; the entire system can be controlled usingasimpleknob
(encoder).
On the front panel there is also a set of LEDs, again depending on the preset
configuration,whichshowsystem status at aglance.
Ontherearpanelareall oftheconnectorstobeusedforconnectingthedevice tothe
variousstationcomponents.
TheSCM-TLCautomaticchangeoverandtelemetrysystemandrelativemanagement
softwareweredesignedto solveallofthoseproblems arising fromthemanagement
ofradiostationslocatedinareasthatarenoteasilyreachedorwhichwouldrequire
asignificantamountoftimeforthe operator to reach.
Thesystemhas thefollowingmainfunctions:
•managementof several radio stationsbyremoteconnection with a data-phone
modem;
•telemetrizationofall operatingparametersofthedevices presentineachstation;
•storageinthememoryof events which causedfaults;
•automaticchangeoverin "1+1" or "N+1" radio transmission systems.
Thissystemallows remotemanagementoftheradiostation,allowingtheoperatorto
interveneimmediatelyinthe event ofafault.
The great flexibility of the SCM-TLC system allows an increase in the number of
devices controlled or modification of the station layout at any time, without
necessitating radical changes in the management system, but simply adding
expansioncardswhichallowanincreaseinthenumberof operatingparametersthat
canbemanaged.
The SCM-TLC system was designed to operate at its best with all R.V.R. devices,
butcanalsofunctionwithdevicesnotmadebyR.V.R.,providedthattheymakethe
