Remote Controlled Coaxial Relay (Model Rccr-1 X 4)

The Model RCCR-1 X 4 Remote Controlled Coaxial Relay provides locally and remotely controlled RF switching between one transmitter rated at up to 2 kW average power/6 kW peak power and four antennas operating over a DC to 32 MHz frequency range. The RCCR-1 X 4 provides four momentary pushbutton switches to locally select the antenna to be connected to the transmitter. The pushbutton switch associated with the selected antenna illuminates to indicate the connection of the antenna to the transmitter. The RCCR-1 X 4 unkeys the transmitter via the interlock circuit prior to RF switching to prevent hot RF switching. Upon completion and verification of the RF switching, the RCCR-1 X 4 closes an interlock relay to enable the transmitter to be keyed. The RCCR-1 X 4 is equipped with a RS-232 or RS-422 serial data interface to enable remotely controlled RF switching. The RCCR-1 X 4 will implement correctly formatted connect messages and will respond to status requests with a message detailing the antenna connected to the transmitter, interlock status, local/remote mode and fault status.
