The diagram below outlines the RF Switch Controller connections for switching between two Anywave LPTV Transmitters. The Switch Controller has a default IPaddress of 192.168.1.210 with login, user: anywavecom, password: anywavecom. Note: Please use the Anywave supplied DB9 serial cables to connect the Switch Controller to each PA. (IPaddress: 192.168.1.210) Figure 1 RF-SWITCH-USR-DOC-V2.0, 1/6/2017... -

LOCAL to REMOTE (note: the coaxial switching only works when both amplifiers are in REMOTE mode). The RF-CTRL-MODE setting is shown in Figure 2. When switched to REMOTE mode, the amplifiers’ front panel RF On/Off buttons will be inactive. Figure 2 Connect all cables/wires as shown in Figure 1, and then turn on the exciters, amplifiers, coaxial switch and switch controller. - Page 8 RF Switch Controller User Manual Figure 3 Figure 4 The Coaxial Switch Controller’s web pages are shown in figures 3 and 4. AMP_FWD_MIN is the minimum output power that is user to determine VALID amplifier adjusted. AMP_CHANGE_TIMES with the default setting of 3 means the total number of times that the switch controller will try to switch back and forth between two amplifiers using the coaxial switch before finally stopping.
- Page 9 FIG. 5, then the Controller will unmute amplifier B. Amplifier B will be ramped up from zero to the rated power as shown in figure 6 and 7. Amplifier A RF remains off.

LPTV_USED changes from CHANGE_TO_B to LPTV_B). b. Settings: i. Switch Controller set to Remote mode (front panel switch). ii. Both PAs RF-CTRL-MODE set to Remote mode (disables PA front panel RF On/Off buttons). iii. Both PAs output power is greater than min threshold (amp_fwd_min) –... - Page 17 RF Switch Controller User Manual c. Notes: i. Coaxial switching only works (in Auto or Manual modes) when both amplifiers are in Remote mode. Setting PA to Local mode makes the PA front panel TX On/Off button active for local manual control.
