Installation 

 
Before installing the 

DXE-PS-2B-P

 Relay Unit with control cable onto the tower, connection of the 

entire length of four (4) conductor control line between the

 EC-PS2 

Control Console and the 

PS2B

 

Relay Unit for testing purposes is recommended. 
 
Following installation of the two equal length coaxial cables (

PS2B

 Relay Unit to antennas) on the 

Relay Unit during testing take continuity measurements to insure the system is functioning 
properly. Any trouble found during testing may be addressed before the 

EC-PS2

 and 

PS2B

 are 

installed into their operating positions.  
 
Open the 

EC-PS2 

control console by removing the four (two per side) Phillips head screws to 

remove the cover. 
 
Push the end of the cable through the control wire feed through grommet on the rear of the unit. 
 
Connections for the wire are made on the green header. 
Loosen each terminal screw until it is near flush with the top 
of the connector block as shown to the right. 
 
Strip approximately 1/4" insulation from the four conductor 
wire ends as shown to the right. 
 
Connect each wire to a terminal by sliding the wire completely into the wire connection hole. Using 
a small flat blade screwdriver, tighten the associated screw until the wire is firmly gripped in place 
as shown below. The four-conductor control cable goes between the 

PS-2B

 Relay Unit and the 

EC-

PS

 Control Console. Either "G" is ground. Terminals G, 1, 2 and 3 are used. 

COM-CW4

 four 

conductor cable is available by the foot for your installation requirements. 
 
 
 

 

 
 
  
 
Take caution to ensure just the wire is clamped in place, not the wire's insulation which would cause 
an open or intermittent connection. Do not over tighten the screw so much that the wire is cut 
instead of being firmly gripped. Use the included Ty-Wrap on the inside of the unit to hold the cable 
from pulling outward as shown above. Your color code may vary. 
 
Input power should be +12 Vdc, well filtered at 2 amps (fused) minimum. A 2.1 mm power cord is 
supplied with unit. The wire with the white stripes is the +12 Vdc. 
 

 
 

 

Outer Connection

 is 

GROUND   

                        

Center Pin 

is 

+12 VDC
