K9AY++, 4-WAY beverage system and 7ANT - Remote Control

We offer classic and remote versions of our K9AY++, 4-WAY beverage system and 7ANT RF controllers. Classic version has got front panel knobs for control, remote version offers also remote control. There is rear panel D-SUB 15 male connector - when you apply +12 V voltage to any direction pin - controller disables front panel knobs and all is done by the voltages at remote control connector.

LED indicators works in all cases. If you want to use the manual control again, the remote one must be switched off (no voltage at direction pins).

Remote controllers

1. Your own controller/existing system
2. Our IP controllers

Your own controller

• You can use your own remote system. You are able to integrate our equipment into your existing system. For example, you have your own IP relays that control an existing part of your hamshack. Our controllers need a positive voltage (12 ~ 14 V, preferably 13.8 V) to activate the remote control and switch the different functions, see picture (you can find more in manuals):

Our IP controllers

• We do have our own controllers, which are directly assigned for our RF hardware. You just need one connecting cable (D-SUB 15 female). Controllers offer web-based classic User Interface (UI) which looks like the controller front panel and also Beam Map UI - map with control buttons and right direction. Also custom solution is possible - Stream Deck console, NodeRed system etc.

⚠ There is no need to upload new firmware to the device - all new modifications and features are automatically added to the web environment without your intervention.

Advantages:

- Web-based application with automated updates
- No configuration or firmware upload needed
- Custom button labels by parameter
- Customise 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
- We recommend a VPN while using remote access from outside your network in general
- Easy configuration with EASY ASSISTANT

OLI IP 12

Simply controller for one device. This small box is directly designed for our K9Y++, 4-WAY beverage system and 7ANT. Simple connection with one D-SUB 15 female cable and a well protected 10/100 Mbit LAN.

This controller allows you to connect one K9AY++, 4-WAY beverage system or 7ANT.

REMOTIUS 64

It is a multi-purpose IP controller. It allows you to connect more of our products directly, also your products or external relays to control different devices. Up to three K9AY++, 4-WAY systems or 7ANT can be directly connected to banks 1 to 3 - also in various combinations. Bank 4 has 16 universal outputs. The controller also allows multiple temperature sensors to be connected and gated on a web page.

Remote control UI examples

Blog post will come soon

Three basic ways to go:

- Classic UI - looks like the RF controller front panel
- Beam Map - Azimuthal map with control buttons
- Custom - Stream Deck, NodeRed etc.

Mike DM5XX has prepared Entry Point and Easy Assistant pages. This is the best way to go, see all possibilities of our UIs.

Connection between controllers

You need to connect RF controller to the IP one by the 15 pin D-SUB cable
D-SUB connectors are included but you have to solder wires to connectors
Or you can use another solution:

- Ready to use 1m cable
- D-SUB connectors with screw terminal - PCB or enclosure version
