BDI PDC-300 3 Switch Mode Controller

Reliable Three-Mode Control for Master Antenna Systems

The BDI PDC-300 is a professional-grade controller engineered for master antenna power dividers, giving operators the flexibility to switch between multiple modes for precise broadcast management. Designed with dual feed and single feed antenna systems in mind, this unit allows seamless operation from either the upper or lower antenna layer, ensuring consistent performance across a variety of configurations. Whether in a complex multi-layer installation or a streamlined broadcast setup, the PDC-300 provides the operational control needed to adapt quickly to changing transmission requirements.

Optimized Operation for Dual Layer Antennas

In broadcast systems where dual layer antennas are utilized, the need to control signal flow between upper and lower antenna feeds is critical. The PDC-300 is purpose-built to meet this challenge, enabling engineers to choose from four specific operating modes: Main Dual Feed, Upper Only, Lower Only, and Test Mode. This allows operators to maintain signal integrity, troubleshoot issues, or perform maintenance without interrupting overall broadcast stability.

Integrated Interlock Management for Safety and Compatibility

The PDC-300 incorporates comprehensive interlock management, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with any desired interlock system. By ensuring that all switching operations follow safety protocols and interlock requirements, it reduces the risk of damage to equipment or interruption to transmission. This makes it a dependable solution for broadcast facilities where safety, reliability, and compliance are top priorities.

SNMP v2 Support for Modern Remote Control Systems

As with all BDI RF support products, the PDC-300 is designed to interface easily with modern remote control systems. With built-in SNMP v2 agent capabilities, this controller enables monitoring and control from virtually any SNMP-compatible network management platform. This remote accessibility helps engineers quickly respond to operational needs without being physically present at the site, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.

Local Control Options for Legacy and On-Site Systems

In addition to advanced network control, the PDC-300 offers local GPIO control and status connections. This makes it compatible with traditional control panels, legacy remote control systems, and on-site operational setups. Whether your facility is fully networked or still relies on physical interface controls, the PDC-300 ensures operational flexibility that suits your workflow.
