Сontroller LBC8ARD

Quick start guide LBC8ARD V1a (PDF 1.5M)

Flexible, 8-position controllers used to control any remote antenna switches or any receive (or transmit) array controllers.

Its unique design features is not only 1-of-8 and BCD control, but plenty of other logics, for different type of arrays, including 4SQUARES, 8Circles, 3and 5 element vertical systems etc.

Most unique (but not the only) features:

• you can program its 8 control lines by yourself;
• you can use it to control two different SINK and SOURCE switches at the same time;

Designed to control equipment of: 

• LowBandSystems (any of the Beverage switch Systems, 4SQUARE RX, 8 Circle RX, K-98, distriution systems 8A2R, 8A4R, 4A4R, 4A2R etc.)
• Hi-Z Antennas (HiZ-2, HiZ-4, HiZ-8, HiZ4-8Pro, TriAngular systems)
• DX Engineering (Four Square, Eight Circle, Beverage Antenna Systems, Transmit 4SQUARE system)
• YCCC 9 element, 8 circle Vertical Receive antenna
• RemoteQTH antenna systems and controllers
• PI4CC`s 8 circle RX antenna

Preprogrammed, 7 different control truth tables (programs) with different logics, for almost all know receive switches, combiners and other devices on a HAM market.

USER programmable truth table, sink or source or both, 8 control lines for any other devices with almost any control system! 

REPLACES:

• DX Engineering: EC-8, EC-4BCD, CC-8A Control Consoles;
• Hi-Z Antennas: HIZ-SS4ELEMENT, CTRL-421, CTRL-821, SW-421, SW-422, SW-821, SW-822, and all the Controllers for 2-3-4-8 element systems; 
• COMTEK ACB-4A Series Four-Square Control Consoles COM-ACB4A
• DX Engineering EC-DVA Directional Control Consoles DXE-EC-DVA
• YCCC Vertical Array Directional Switch Console kit

8 programable control lines, relay outputs for direction control:

• Sink or Cource for all 8 lines;
• Polyfused power lines, short circuits protected;
• 13-30VDC; 0,5A
• Can control 3 lines for BCD switches  and at the same time 5 more lines for other systems with different logic;
• Can control Source for 3 and Sink for 5 lines at the same time;
• Can use second, high voltage power supply for long runs of control cables to distant remote switches; 

 Additional features include:

• 2 band manual selector for Receive BandPassFilters with Bypass option;
• Reject filter ON selector;
• RX chains (Remote Relay switch, BPFs, RX amps) is PROTECTED by switching OFF while transmit using TX_GND signal from transceiver;
• TX_GND output to Power Amplifier, delayed 8 msec., for safety reasons;
• Custom AZ map (or any other B/W image) of your QTH on demand at small extra;
