ASSEMBLED and TESTED VERSION

Parameters

DC supply voltage 13.8 V DC - DC plug included
DC current supply max. 1.5 A
DC EXTernal supply max. 26 V (pin Vext + only for relay output)
DC EXTernal current max. 1 A (pin Vext + only for relay output)
Output is universal +13.8 V or + EXT or to GND (depends on drivers and jumpers)
Outputs 2x6 or BCD - image
BCD output is DC supply voltage or Vext one (could be TTL 5 V)
BCD output TTL when Vext = 5 V, jumper to Vext
Output current max. 500mA per output, 500mA total/bank
TBD driver is included
Voltage drop for TBD driver typ. 0.2V for + 13.8 V input and 0.7 V including fuse
Voltage drop for ULN driver typ. 0.8V for + 13.8 V input
RFI filtered USB port, compatible with OTRSP protocol
WiFi 2.4 GHz CLIENT with external antenna (SMA at rear panel)
WiFi 2.4 GHz b/g/n compatible
Web-based remote control - image
WiFi SSID and password configuration by the WEB page - image
PTT hot switch protection PTT (TX = GND)
TRX A-B lock (first win) can not set the same antenna
USED LED and PTT IN/OUT protection while NO ANT or locked one - manual

⚠ 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.

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.
