This switching system was designed
to be used with the 4-Square 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 4 directions. The yellow LED
lights indicate which direction is selected. The upper left LED will be lit in
the fully CCW direction of the switch. This also corresponds with the 0,0 signal
sent out the direction1 and direction 2 outputs. The directions then will rotate
around the LED square as the rotary switch is turned. The front panel array and
switching was laid out to be just like the compass as NW, NE, SE, and SW. If
element 1 of the 4-square array is connected as the NW element, the LEDs will
indicate the actual compass direction that the array is switched to.
The 4 terminals of the barrier strip
provide the connection to the 4-square array controller. Ground, +13.8 VDC,
CTRL1, and CTRL2 which match the controller inputs. 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 power connection is a standard
2.1mm power plug with center pin positive. The enclosure is 6" x 3.5" x 2" high.
