Connector
Five wire connector block labeled
G A B C G
. Use
DXE-CW9
Shielded Control Wire, or any
suitable control cable (less than 10 Ω loop resistance) to make the connection from the Transmit
Four Square System Phasing Unit to the Four Square Control Console. Wire
G A B C
G
to
G A B
C G (G = Ground).
The
DXE-CW9
CAT5 cable has #24 AWG wire. Based on current and voltage drops, CAT 5
cable is capable of running 400 feet from the Four Square Control Console to the Four
Square Phasing Unit.
For control cable runs from 400 feet up to 750 feet, doubling up the wire pairs of the
DXE-
CW9
CAT5 cable (two wires per connection) will effectively make the wire gage go from 24
AWG to 20 AWG, thus allowing longer runs between the Four Square Control Console and
the Four Square Phasing Unit.
Typical Transceiver / Amplifier Connections

shows a typical connection scheme for a tuned monoband DX Engineering Transmit
Four Square system connected to a transceiver and amplifier. Always check your transceiver and
amplifier manuals to verify proper connections. Your set up may look different than the depiction
above.
