  • Page 2 RF systems typically used in a Single Operator - 2 Radio (SO2R) environment. The DXE-RR2X8 allows the user to switch inputs from either Master or Slave radio to two of the eight output ports using 1 of 8 logic inputs. The logic high required for switching is +12 Vdc at 100 mA.
  • Page 3 General Information The DXE-RR2X8 uses a dual star arrangement of 24 relays to select one or more of eight output ports when voltage is applied from two 8-wire control lines. The 24 relays provide greatly improved power handling, port-to-port isolation and SWR over conventional switches and allows connection between any of the eight antenna output ports from either the master or slave input ports.
  • Page 4 3. Wire the two plugs making a note of wire colors at each pin. Write them in the Connector Wire Reference Table below. Either "G" is ground. The green connectors are in two parts and the tops part can be removed by pulling it straight off.
  • Page 5 Control The DXE-RR2X8 allows the user to switch inputs from either Master or Slave to the eight output ports using 1 of 8 logic inputs. The logic high required for switching is +12 Vdc. When selecting the various switch positions, the Master has precedence. This means if the Master selects output port #3, the Slave cannot use port #3 at the same time.
  • Page 6 Notes:...
  • Page 7 #24 stranded tinned copper drain wire. This gives you 8 switch positions plus common ground - plus the separate shield. It has a gray PVC jacket. This cable is ideal for DX Engineering Remote Antenna Switches and Four Square arrays, and should be considered for any low-current custom remote switching application you have - such as receiving antenna arrays.
  • Page 8 All products manufactured by DX Engineering are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from date of shipment. DX Engineering’s sole obligation under these warranties shall be to issue credit, repair or replace any item or part thereof which is proved to be other than as warranted; no allowance shall be made for any labor charges of Buyer for replacement of parts, adjustment or repairs, or any other work, unless such charges are authorized in advance by DX Engineering.
