This switching system was designed
to be used with the 3-Element Triangular array from
Hi-Z Antennas
(tm).
Array power is supplied to the rear connector of this switching system. This
allows the entire array power to be switched with the front panel toggle switch.
The rotary switch selects one at a time of the 6 directions. The yellow LED
lights indicate which direction is selected. The directions then will rotate
around the LED square as the rotary switch is turned. If
element 1 of the Triangular array is connected as the N element, the LED
at the 12:00 o'clock position will
indicate North. The front panel array and switching was laid out to be
just like the compass as N, NE, SE, S, SW, and NW. Rotating the direction
control knob will allow all 6 compass directions to be selected.
The 4 terminals of the barrier strip
provide the connection to the Triangular array controller. The barrier strip
terminals are CTRL1, CTRL2, CTRL3, and CTRL4 which match the controller inputs.
There are two screw terminals for connection of the Ground and +13.8VDC. The ground connection may
not always be connected directly to the controller as the coax cable shield may
be used to carry the power supply return. The external power supply connection is a standard
2.1mm power plug with center pin positive. The enclosure is 6" x 3.5" x 2" high.
