Interlock 5R

200,00€ VAT not included

The Interlock 5R device ensures the compliance with Radio Contest rules for the participation in Multi-Operator categories:

 

  • Multi/Single: Only one transmitted signal on one band permitted.
  • Multi/2: Maximum of two transmitted signals on two different bands may be used at any time.
  • InBand: Only one signal allowed between a Radio and its associated InBand.

 

The Interlock supports 5 Radios (R1, R2, R3, R4 & R5) and it can be configured as M/S or M/2 so the unit will monitor that only one (M/S) or two (M/2) signals are on Air.

In case of rules violation, the unit will activate an Inhibit signal that will be used by the Radio (Yaesu/Elecraft) to STOP the transmision of the signal to the antenna.

Description

Yaesu and K3 are radios that include this Inhibit signal, so the interface with the Interlock is simple. Other radios (ICOM, Kenwood, etc) without an Inhibit signal should be controlled by means of a relay that will brake the Mic or Key input. There is an optional PCBN that will simply this interface with such radios.

2 of the 5 Radios can be configured as INBAND Radios (R4 & R5) and they will be associate to any of the other Radios (R1, R2 or R3). An Inband Radio and its RUN radio includes a high priority task supervisor; the interlock will allow only one the them at a time.

Each Radio support 5 levels of priority, so in case of a rule violation detection, the unit will decide – based on each Radio priority – which of the Radios should be Inhibit.

    ARS-USB_YAESU
    [:es]

    Esta es una versión especial del ARS-USB que ha sido adaptada a los motores Yaesu (o motores que funcionen en corriente continua a 24Vcc) permitiendo reemplazar el mando original de Yaesu por este mando. También en la mayoría de casos, puede ser adaptado para motores en corriente alterna.

    Incluye las mismas prestaciones que el ARS-USB standard pero además:

    • Gestión del arranque/parada por PWM con lo cual se proporciona que el motor arranque y pare de forma progresiva.
    • Avisa y bloquea el giro cuando detecta que el potenciómetro está fuera del rango de operación (por ejemplo ante rotura del potenciómetro o de algún hilo).
    • Avisa y detecta si el motor queda bloqueado.
    • Supervisa que el motor gire en el sentido correcto y no en sentido contrario. Esto puede pasar cuando se conectan los cables por primera vez.

    Además permite calibrar el motor en cualquier punto de su recorrido e incluye un configurador (ARSConf) sencillo y flexible.

    Incluye módulo de 24Vcc - 90W necesaria para los motores Yaesu que funcionan en corriente continua (G800, G1000, G2800 o el nuevo G450DC). 

    [:en]

    This is a special version based on the ARS-USB that was re-designed to be used as a rotor controller or replacement for a Yaesu Control Unit (or similar rotators) that operates 24Vdc

    It includes the same features as the standard ARS-USB adding some extra as:

    • Simple and easy calibration at any rotor position in few steps.
    • Soft start and stop via a PWM. It allows to have a soft starting/stopping ramp.
    • It detects if the potentiometer is out of range and will prevent any accidental problem with the antenna coax. Any problem with the potentiometer or cables are detected inmediately
    • If the motor is jammed by any reason, an alarm will be displayed and the appointment will stop. The user will be noticed.

    All those watch-dog systems (and some more options) will prevent to generate a problem if the potentiometer is damaged by any cause (any wire broken, moisture, a wrong cable connection, etc).  

    This model include a 24Vdc DC-DC module which is necessary for Yaesu motors (G800, G1000, G2800 or new G450DC)
