Connecting the Phase Controller to the Shack Switch and Receiver
Fig. 3, 4 & 5
1. Connect CNTL3 (these are located on the Hi-Z PnP controller) to shack CTRL3 on the switch.
2. Wire the power 13.8 VDC and Ground from shack switch to either of the controllers.Fig.9
3. OPTIONS. If a HPF or BPF filter was purchased or customer supplied, the filter MUST be inserted between the
controller output and before the inline preamp (best IMD).
4. Connect feed RG6 to the output of the in-line pre-amp to the Hi-Z 75 to 50Ω transformer in the shack and the other
end of the transformer connects to the RX input.
5. Use your existing power cable at the existing Hi-Z 4 shack switch for your new 8 direction shack switch.

Shack Preparation and Basic Operation
1. Locate the placement of the shack switch.
2. Verify the voltage level is in the 13.8 VDC area. Depending on the length of the control cable this voltage may need to
be adjusted upwards to compensate for any voltage drop.
3. Direction control. Typically; Position 1 = N, 2= NE, 3 = E, 4 = SE, 5 = S, 6 = SW, 7 = W and 8 = NW.
Power Up and System Checks
1. Turn power on at the shack switch. One yellow direction LED should be ON. Rotate the direction rotary switch and
verify that all 8 LEDs sequence correctly.
2. Measure the voltage at the phase controller. 13.8VDC is ideal. Voltage must be >=12.0 VDC.
