4-way beverage antenna system REMOTE CTRL & BI-DIR 2WIRES PL
This antenna system consists of 2x Bi-dir beverage sets, 4-way antenna switch and controller.
505.00 € (without tax)
This antenna consists of 2x Bi-dir beverage sets, 4-way switch and K9AY/4-way controller. That all allows you to have 4 directions beverage antenna system with only one coax line from field to the controller. Controller have got Bias Tee (AC/DC), HPF (kill AC noise), internal PCB with 3 BPFs, preamp and protections. There is also RX/TX RF switch for TRX which does not have input for RX antenna.

- Built-in Bias Tee AC/DC
- PREAMP with variable gain 0 to 18 dB
- Three switchable BPFs or BYPASS
- RX protections and limiters in controller
- RX source switch for TX and RX antenna
- Possible REMOTE control

Remote Control Notes
- There is NO IP/web based remote control inside the box. RJ45 connector is only for DC voltage between controller and feeder. Remote Control can be done by the DB15M connector at the rear panel. When you apply +12 to +14 V DC to direction pin at this connector, relay automatically deactivate front panel switches and you can control it over these external voltages at DB-15M Remote Control connector. All LED indicators still work. Please, read the manual.
- We offer now two IP controllers: OLI IP 12 and powerful REMOTIUS 64.

Remote Control example
We offer two web-based controllers. OLI IP 12, which is directly designed for K9AY++, 4-WAY and 7ANT RC controllers and REMOTIUS 64, bigger controller which could control more parts and offers more outputs.
There is more ways for remote control:
- Classic UI
- Beam Map
- Stream Deck, NodeRed or custom system
Option: Common-mode current choke
