| Ameritron's Remote Coax Switch with Lightning Protection
lets you remotely switch up to eight HF antennas -- so you can replace 8
coax feedlines with a single coax. Eliminate a tangle of troublesome
coax and have a simple and near installation -- with just a single coax
feedline!
The RCS-10L also has added lightning protection to each antenna port.
This will protect each antenna from one another and prevent damaging
voltages from traveling the feedline into the shack if a lightning
strike accrues to the antenna.
The RCS-10L consists of two units -- the weatherproof switching box
that mounts on your tower or mast and the control unit that's placed at
your operating station.
Outdoor Unit Features
- Inexpensive and simple wiring: selects up to eight antennas
using one four conductor telephone type control line
- Lightning Protection: Protection on each Antenna Port for
Maximum Lightning Protecion
- High Power Capability: The RCS-10L relay box will handle
over 5 kW into matched loads below 30 MHz
- Long Relay Life: UL/CSA/VDE approved sealed relays with 16
ampere switching current rating. Tested to withstand 1200V.
- Flexible Mounting: The RCS-10L hardware accepts mast sizes
from 1 inch to 2 1/4 inches
- Compact: Approximately 5 1/4 W x 6 7/8 D x 3 H inches and
weighs just 3 lbs.
- Reliable Connectors: Teflon UHF-style SO-239 females,
internal barrier strip for control lines
- Low Voltage: Requires 10-15 Volts at less than 300 mA.
- Wide Frequency Range: Covers DC-100 MHz with low SWR, loss,
and good isolation
- Highly Weather Resistant: Sealed relays, stainless
hardware, and U-V resistant cover
Control Box Features
- Power Requirements: The RCS-10L operates from a 120 VAC
power source or RCS-10LX for 220/240 VAC. Uses any 6 conductor
control line (not supplied)
- Easy-To-Read Antenna Indicators Eight wide-spaced LED's
indicate the selected antenna
- Wide Profile 6 1/4 W x 4 5/8 D x 3 1/4 H inches helps
prevent unwanted movement when turning selector switch
- Flexible Interface Accepts and outputs one-of-eight control
signals, and outputs three-line BCD data
