RC-1216H setup for ACOM 2000A control
The RC-1216 can be configured to remote control a ACOM-2000A Power amplifier. The
controls and indicators are almost the same as on ACOM-2000A control Panel (RCU) so you
will recognize them immediately. There are controls for on/off, standby/operate, Auto tune,
Antenna selections and a button for reading all parameters from the PA. The indicators are
also the same as on the RCU like Forward power, Reflected power, Alarm LED:s, Band
segment, Temp indicators etc.
A serial cable has to be connected from the RC-1216H to the PA RS-232 port. If you also have
the ACOM antenna switch you need to make a special Y-cable. Another cable is needed from
the RC-1216H AUX-SW1 socket to the PA for Remote power on. This 2 wire cable can be
soldered directly into the RCU D-sub or you can make a short extension cable where you
connect the 2 wires.
If you have your remote station far away and do not have any other way of switching on/off
the 230VAC, you can use the RC-1216H PWR SW relay to control an external relay. A
possibility to control of the 230VAC will save car journeys. Remember that the relay should be
2 pole and should handle the large current needed by the ACOM-2000A. The PWR SW relay is
controlled by the “MAIN PWR” Button. The “MAIN PWR” Button must be activated for the
software function even if you don’t have connected anything to the PWR SW relay.
