MCN Comparator Display System Planner Page 39
This system allows parallel status and control of three comparators from three operator locations. If an
operator at one location force votes a receiver, the other two operator stations will show that receiver as
voted. Or, if an operator disables a receiver, all other operator stations will also show that receiver as
disabled. If one of the comparators signals that a receiver is voted, all three stations will show the
receiver being voted.

There is one limitation of a system which uses both HIBs and IIBs together to control the same
comparator. The console Disable LED can get out of sync if the PC re-enables a receiver. See the
Appendix E System Limitations when using HIB and IIB Modules Together section for details.
