System Overview - DX Engineering DXE-RCA8C-SYS-4S Manual

Elements 1, 2 and 5, 6 are selected as the default for a forward direction of North-East for North
America, with elements installed as shown. A mirror image of this element positioning would be a
typical default North-West for European installations.

System Overview

The heart of the DXE-RCA8C-SYS-4S system is comprised of the modified DXE-CC-8A Eight
Position Control Console, the DXE-RCA8C-1 Receive Eight Circle Array Controller, eight DXE-
AVA2 Active Matching Units for your vertical elements and one Delay Cable with F-Connectors
installed. These units interconnect and work together using factory default settings to control the
Receive Eight Circle Array. The modified CC-8A control console uses BCD switching voltages for
the RCA8C-1 to change the receiving direction of the array.
When the modified CC-8A Eight Circle Control Console and the RCA8C-1 Receive Eight Circle
Array Controller are connected as shown in the installation section below and the layout is as
described for North America in Figure 1, the switch positions on the modified CC-8A will switch
the array in the eight directions as shown in Figure 2.
