BDI SWP-200-1R1-1 5/8" RF + CTL 1-Switch + 1-5/8" Coupler

Single Switch RF Control with Integrated Power Measurement

The Broadcast Devices SWP-200-1R1-1 5/8" RF + CTL system is a rackmount digital RF power meter and switch controller designed to manage a single RF switch while monitoring forward and reflected RF power. It provides broadcast engineers with precise control over RF routing and transmitter safety in a compact, reliable hardware platform.

Accurate Forward and Reflected RF Power Monitoring

This system supports both analog and digital RF transmissions, making it suitable for modern FM and AM broadcast environments. By incorporating DPS-100 series power measurement technology, the controller delivers dependable RF readings that help operators verify transmission performance, antenna loading, and system health in real time.

Integrated RF Coupler Interface for Simplified Installation

The SWP-200-1R1-1 5/8" package includes a 1-5/8" single port flanged directional coupler and RF line section interface, allowing direct connection into the transmission line. This integrated approach eliminates the need for external metering hardware and simplifies installation in RF racks and transmitter facilities.

Safe RF Switching with Transmitter Interlock Control

Built-in interlock management and transmitter control functions allow RF switching to be performed safely and consistently. The controller coordinates switch commands with transmitter enable and disable signals, reducing the risk of equipment damage caused by switching under load or unexpected RF presence.

Flexible Operating Modes for Broadcast Facilities

The SWP-200 can operate in either manual mode for direct operator control or in a hands-off, pre-programmed mode for unattended transmitter sites. This flexibility makes it well suited for backup antenna systems, auxiliary transmitters, and facilities requiring automated RF path control.

Versatile Support for FM and AM Applications

In addition to FM and digital broadcast use, the SWP-200 platform can also be deployed in AM radio systems to control multiple open-frame contactors. Its ability to interface with a wide range of RF switching hardware makes it a practical solution for diverse broadcast transmission environments.
