Easy Controller 6-1

1 Review

This is Easy Controller for 6-to-1 antenna switch. You can control any antenna switch with 6 inputs. Including PTT hot switch protection. You can choose between two versions: classic and remote. Remote version allows you to control antenna switch over the web page and there are also another 8 universal On/Off outputs for your use.

Main functions

Universal controller with 6 outputs
HOT switch PTT protection
All outputs are universal +12 V or GND
IP module with 8 external relays for custom use
DC plug included
IP/web remote module as option version REMOTE
ASSEMBLED and TESTED VERSION

Parameters

Output is universal +12 V or + EXT or to GND
Output current max. 500 mA per output, 500 mA total
Output voltage the same as supply voltage or EXT max 26V DC
EXTernal voltage for relays with different voltage than 12V
TBD driver is included
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)

⚠ IMPORTANT NOTE: 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 driver is NOT included. You can buy it here.

REMOTE VERSION

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 +12 V 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 OLI IP

User Interfaces

User interfaces (UI) can be divided into three groups:
- Classic UI - looks like the RF controller front panel
- Beam Map - Azimuthal map with control buttons
- Customs, Stream Deck, NodeRed etc.

Example for remote control User Interface (UI), there for 1-3 Stack Match Easy 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 + voltage
- Output voltage could be the same as controller supply voltage or different - connected to Vext pin at connector

example with 8 Relay DIN module

HV8DC board

This is a specially designed board to protect up to 8 DC control wires. The connection between the control box and the equipment outside (on the mast) can be dangerous - due to storms a potential difference can easily occur or voltage can be induced on the control wires. This phenomenon is dangerous and it is necessary to safely discharge this voltage to a common earth potential.

The controller contains basic surge protection. However, it is not very safe to bring surges to the table in Hamshack! If the GND screw of the control box is not connected to a common ground, the surge can go through another device - DC power supply, LAN, etc. It is therefore better to place an additional surge protector between the control box and the equipment outside. For example, at the point where cables enter the building from the outside, it is a good idea to place this surge protector board to provide additional protection against surge entering the ham shack.
