Technical description ARXC.MAG

The microHAM ARXC.MAG is a magnetic azimuth sensor. It is mounted under the antenna boom with nickel-plated brass mounting hardware and reports the current true azimuth of the antenna to the ARCO controller. It can be used both as a primary azimuth sensor, e.g. when the original antenna rotor sensor has failed, and for monitoring purposes by alerting the user that the antenna is no longer aligned to the calibrated azimuth, e.g. caused by strong winds. 

Activation and configuration of the ARXC.MAG module is quick and easy on the ARCO controller. 

The dimensions given below do not include protruding parts (e.g. lugs for screw connection).

Note: To operate the ARXC extensions, a software update of the ARCO controller may be required, which is available on the microHAM website.

Application description ARXC.MAG

ARXC modules are accessories for ARCO rotator controllers that provide advanced control and additional functionality. The modules are mounted in IP65 enclosures designed to operate outside the shack. ARCO supports up to four concurrently daisy-chained ARXC modules. ARXC accessories connect to the ARCO's D-SENSOR connector, requiring only 4 wires of standard CAT5 cable. If connecting an additional control cable is not possible, ARCO can interconnect ARXC modules with a pair of dedicated ARXC.LoRa modules for wireless connectivity over a distance of several kilometers. RXC modules are accessories for ARCO rotator controllers that provide advanced control and additional functionality. The modules are mounted in IP65 enclosures designed to operate outside the shack. ARCO supports up to four concurrently daisy-chained ARXC modules. ARXC accessories connect to the ARCO's D-SENSOR connector, requiring only 4 wires of standard CAT5 cable. If connecting an additional control cable is not possible, ARCO can link ARXC modules together with a pair of dedicated ARXC.LORA modules for a wireless connection over a distance of several kilometers.
