The EURODESK system features 19“ plug-in modules. All control and monitoring is laid out cen-trally in the operator‘s field of vision. The interface for TRANSCABLE 3000 software, based on the multi-language Windows® version, is user-friend-ly and can be accessed in diffe-rent languages. In side cabinets there is provision for 19“ rack units, drawers or a hinged desk top. The system is most often fitted into commercial vehicles, such as the Mercedes Benz Sprinter with an overall weight of 3.5 t. Cable test vans are by design divided into control and high voltage areas separated by a partition wall.
