Easy Controller 4-1

This is universal manual and remote (web, IP, cluster) controller for antenna switch or another device with 4 positions. There is universal output driver - you can use +12 V OUT or switching to the Ground. IP remote module (IMPERO32) is optional. It offers you another 8 external outputs for another relays - you can switch ON PA, light, TRX etc. Output is again universal (+12V or GND). Controller has also PTT hot switch protection.

Main functions:

• Universal controller with 4 outputs
• HOT switch PTT protection
• All outputs are universal +12V or GND
• IP/web remote module as option version REMOTE
• IP module with 8 external relays for custom use

Parameters:

• Output is universal +12V or + EXT or to GND
• Output current max. 500mA per output, 500mA total
• Output voltage the same as supply voltage or EXT max. 26V DC
• EXTernal voltage for relays with different voltage than 12V
• Voltage drop for TBD driver typ. 0,2V for +12V input and 0,7V including fuse
• Voltage drop for ULN driver typ. 0,8V for +12V input
• PTT hot switch protection active to GND (5V logic compatible) picture

Default output setting is with TBD driver. Output control is +12V. If you need to control external devices by switching to ground, you must replace the driver with ULN and change the Jumper settings. ULN is not included. Can be ordered here.

Version with REMOTE control:

Remote module:

• Control your Antenna switch and external 8 outputs with your browser/http
• Web based application with automated updates
• No configuration or firmware upload needed
• Custom button labels by parameter
• Customize your UI or use our control view
• Can be controlled by stream deck and touchportal
• System is part of our station automation infrastructure by DM5XX's RemoteSwitch.de system
• Remote Control disables front panel switch
• Additional external 8 OUTPUTS - ON/OFF for switching other devices or antennas
• External switching: Universal output driver output +12V or GND
• LAN connection with unique RFI filtering + HV protection
• We recommend a VPN while using remote access from outside your network in general

Parameters for Remote Module / Daughter board OLI IP:

• LAN 10/100 Mbit auto
• ONLY DHCP IP address - not static
• LAN High Voltage double protection
• LAN Common-mode filter = lower RFI emission from LAN cable
• Output is universal +12V or + EXT or to GND
• Output current max. 500mA per output, 500mA total
• Output voltage the same as supply voltage or EXT max 26V DC
• EXTernal voltage for relays with different voltage than 12V
• Voltage drop for TBD driver typ. 0,2V for +12V input and 0,7V including fuse
• Voltage drop for ULN driver typ. 0,8V for +12V input and 1,3V including fuse
• EXTERNAL 8 outputs for custom use

Example for remote control User Interface (UI), there for Stack Match 1-3 controller

Example for External Relays:

You can use another 8 external relays. You can control another 8 things you like. It is simply 8 x ON/OFF

Outputs can be configured as: switching to ground or + voltage.

Output voltage could be the same as controller supply voltage or different - connected to Vext pin at connector.

Optional 8 Relay DIN module:

External 8 relay module which could switch external devices. More here:
