4 Square Version:
The RemoteBox 4-Square model uses 3 pins of the ANT1 output (plus ground).
Generating different values on those pins, it can command the TK5EP phased switch
ANT1/2/6 and 2 signals and ground are used to select the antenna direction. This
output is available at:
•
Pin-1: Ground
•
Pin-2: “K1” Output
•
Pin-6: “K2” Output
•
Pin-3: “K3” Output
It uses the following table by TK5EP:
Directions, phasing and relay powering

RemoteBox voltage level output:
The RemoteBox can provide two different voltage levels to power the switches:
•
5V
•
12V
The voltage can be switches with jumpers JP-A for ANT1 and JP-B for ANT2
•
Jumper in 1-2 provides 5V output
•
Jumper in 2-3 provides 12V output
Jumpers JP-C and JP-D provide identical functionality on the AUX port.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Since April/2018 all equipments use a PTC resettable fuse instead those jumpers,
so it allows to protect the outputs. The output voltage is by default fixed to 12Vdc
When an antenna is activated only one pin will be active (12 or 5V); the rest of
the outputs will have 0V.
