TIME CODE
ISOLATION & DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIERS
Since the early ’80s, ESE’s Audio and Video Distribution Amplifiers have been recognized for their quality
and durability. Using very similar technology, ESE presents a line of Distribution Amplifiers (DAs) capable of
isolating and distributing most any type of Time Code. The basic idea for each model is the same... provide
the ability to distribute time code and compensate for lengthy cable runs while isolating each unit in the
Master Clock System.
Described below are units capable of handling any of the IRIG time codes, ESE Time Code or ASCII time
code. If you’re in need of a DA not mentioned here refer to our DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIERS Brochure available
on our website or contact the ESE Factory.
ES-243
Quad 1x6 ESE DA (or IRIG-’TTL’)
The ES-243 is designed to accept
any ESE time code signal or any
IRIG time code in its “TTL” form
and output up to 24 identical
copies. The unit has four separate
and isolated channels, each with
six available outputs. Inputs and
outputs are via rear mounted BNC
connectors and each output is
capable of driving up to 4000’ of
cable.

ES-249
1x8 RS-232C/ASCII DA
The ES-249 is designed to accept
RS-232C/ASCII and output up to
eight identical copies. The unit has
a single input and eight outputs
that a r e ac c e s s ible on rear
mounted 9-pin D-subconnectors.
Due to the nature of RS-232C, if long
cable runs are required, it may be
necessary to utilize other time code
that is later translated into RS-232C.
The unit is rack mounted.
ES-242
Quad 1x6 IRIG(AM) DA
The ES-242 is a quad, 6-output
IRIG Time Code DA. Each amplifier
provides a loop-thru input & six 600
ohm outputs. The inputs/outputs are
connected via rear mounted BNC
connectors. The unit distributes IRIG
A, B, E, NASA36, XR3, 2137 & CS3 time
codes it has a transformerless design
that takes a single unbalanced input
and provides six unbalanced single
ended outputs.
ES-210
Quad 1x6 1/5/10 MHz DA
The ES-210 provides four independent
1x6 Frequency DAs in a single
rack-mount enclosure. Each DA
has loop-thru inputs and six isolated
outputs, all accessible via BNC
connectors. Screwdriver-adjustable
Gain controls are provided on the
front of the case. The Gain control
provides an overall signal level
adjustment of -1.6 to +3.4 db. Unused
outputs need not be terminated.
ES-250
1 x 24 RS-232/ASCII DA
The ES-250 is an RS-232C Isolation
and Distribution Amplifier. Three 1 x
8 amplifier circuits allow the incoming
signal to be distributed via the 24
outputs. The unit receives RS-232C
and buffers the signal so that each
of the 24 outputs can drive a single
“user” at a distance of up to 50 feet
(per output). All inputs and outputs
are via rear mounted terminal
block connectors.
ES-251
1 x 24 RS-232/ASCII DA
The ES-251 is an RS-232C Isolation
and Distribution Amplifier. Three 1 x
8 amplifier circuits allow the incoming
signal to be distributed via the 24
outputs. The unit receives RS-232C
and buffers the signal so that each
of the 24 outputs can drive a single
“user” at a distance of up to 50 feet
(per output). All inputs and outputs
are via rear mounted terminal DB-9
connectors.
