Maintenance 

 
The 

DXE-FVC-1

 requires no maintenance when installed properly. The included wall transformer 

power supply uses an automatic thermal reset fuse that does not need to be replaced. 

 

Manual Updates 

 
Every effort is made to supply the latest manual revision with each product. Occasionally a manual 
will be updated between the time your DX Engineering product is shipped and when you receive it. 
Please check the DX Engineering web site (www.dxengineering.com) for the latest revision manual. 

 
 

Configuration Examples 

 
The following examples show the 

DXE-FVC-1

 Feedline Voltage Coupler being used in various 

controlling configurations. These are only suggestions. Amateur Radio Operators are using the 

DXE-FVC-1

 for many applications in controlling remote equipment, you are only limited by your 

Amateur Radio imagination.
