Dual RF Switch Control with Integrated Power Monitoring
The Broadcast Devices SWP-200-2R1-4/16 is a professional RF switch controller and power monitoring system designed to manage two RF switches while continuously measuring forward and reflected RF power. Built for broadcast transmission facilities, this system provides centralized control, protection, and visibility for critical RF signal paths.
Designed for High Power Broadcast Transmission Lines
This configuration includes a 4-1/16 inch directional coupler interface, making it suitable for high power FM and digital broadcast applications where large transmission line sizes are required. The integrated coupler allows accurate RF measurement directly from the transmission line without external metering equipment.
Reliable Forward and Reflected Power Measurement
Using DPS-100 series RF measurement technology, the SWP-200 platform delivers dependable readings for both analog and digital signals. Monitoring forward and reflected power helps engineers verify antenna performance, detect faults early, and maintain stable transmitter operation.
Safe RF Switching with Built In Interlock Logic
The SWP-200-2R1 coordinates RF switching with transmitter control and interlock closures to prevent switching under load. This protection logic reduces the risk of damage to RF switches, transmission lines, and transmitters during normal operation or fault conditions.
Flexible Manual and Automated Operating Modes
This system supports hands-off automated operation using preprogrammed logic, as well as manual control for on-site intervention. This flexibility makes it well suited for unattended transmitter sites, backup antenna systems, and facilities requiring rapid RF path changes.
Versatile Integration Across Broadcast Facilities
Compatible with most four-port RF switches, the SWP-200-2R1 can be adapted to a wide range of RF routing hardware. It can also be deployed in AM broadcast systems to control open-frame contactors, making it a versatile solution for mixed transmission environments.
