Acom 2000 ASW Remote Automatic Antenna Switcher

Acom 2000 ASW automatic remote antenna switcher  10 designed for outdoor use (protected from dust and rain). The 2000SW switch is controlled via 4-bit parallel BCD code input commands (for example, from the ACOM 2000S automatic antenna selector).

Integration capacity

• When used in combination with the ACOM 2000S antenna selector and the ACOM 2000A HF automatic linear amplifier, the antenna selection information generated by the ACOM 2000A is communicated to the 2000S. The 2000S displays the currently selected antenna number and operates the control signals necessary to operate the ACOM 2000SW at a remote location;
• The 2000SW is controlled by 4-bit BCD code input commands (positive or inverted, internally selectable). This makes integration into other automatic antenna systems very simple;

Compatibility

• Directly compatible with the ACOM 2000A automatic HF linear amplifier using the ACOM 2000S antenna selector;
• The control is compatible with other systems via input commands in 4-bit BCD code;
• For manual control, all you need is a simple BCD-encoded switch plus an unregulated 27 VDC / 150 mA power supply;

Continuous carrier
Continuous carrier up to 5 kW: Teflon (PTFE) insulated connectors for 100% duty cycle (continuous) operation.

Construction
Gold-plated contacts for excellent reception, no contact-derived cross-modulation phenomena.

Protection
Hot anti-switching self-protection for reliable operation of the contacts. Monitors incoming RF power and generates a “Ready to Transmit” output signal for maximum operational flexibility. Grounds unused antennas during operation for excellent crosstalk isolation. After shutdown, all antennas are automatically grounded for maximum lightning safety.

Antenna switching time
Operating time less than 0.15 seconds, including bounces.

Easy to install.
Only 2 holes needed, mounting bracket included.

Recommendation
Both the ACOM 2000SW (remote antenna switcher) and ACOM 2000S (automatic antenna selector) work perfectly together. Therefore, it is recommended to order both devices as a package.
