Single Switch RF Control with Integrated Power Monitoring
The BDI SWP-200-1R2-7/8 is a professional RF switch controller designed to manage a single motorized RF switch while providing accurate forward and reflected power monitoring. It gives broadcast engineers direct control over RF signal paths and transmitter safety from a compact, rackmount system built for continuous operation.
Designed for Analog and Digital RF Environments
This RF switch controller supports both analog and digital transmission systems, making it suitable for FM, AM, and other broadcast RF applications. By integrating DPS-100D power monitoring, the system delivers reliable RF measurements that help operators confirm correct transmission conditions before, during, and after switch operations.
Integrated DPS-100D Power Measurement Capability
The SWP-200-1R2-7/8 package includes dual 7/8-inch directional couplers that connect directly to DPS-100D True RMS power monitoring circuitry. This allows real-time measurement of forward and reflected RF power without requiring external meters, providing clear visibility into transmission performance and antenna health.
Safe Transmitter and Interlock Management
Built-in transmitter control and interlock logic allow RF switching to occur safely and in the correct sequence. The controller can manage transmitter enable and disable functions during switch transitions, reducing the risk of equipment damage caused by switching under load or unexpected RF presence.
Flexible Operating Modes for Broadcast Sites
The SWP-200 platform supports both manually controlled operation and hands-off, pre-programmed switching modes. This flexibility makes it well suited for unattended transmitter sites, backup antenna systems, and facilities that require automatic RF path changes based on site conditions or operating schedules.
Reliable RF Support for Critical Infrastructure
Engineered for round-the-clock use, the SWP-200-1R2-7/8 provides dependable RF control in a single rack unit. Optional RF failure detection and RF safety sensing help protect motorized switches from damage, offering peace of mind for engineers responsible for mission-critical broadcast transmission systems.
