1Introduction
This User Manual contains instructions to safely setup and operate the Anywave
RF Switch Controller. The Anywave RF Switch Controller is implemented for
applications requiring automatic or manual switching between multiple transmitters.
Please note that trained and qualified personnel are required to install, maintain, and
service this transmission equipment.
2System Interconnect Diagram
The diagram below outlines the RF Switch Controller connections for switching
between two Anywave LPTV Transmitters. The Switch Controller has a default
IPaddress of 192.168.1.210 with login, user: anywavecom, password: anywavecom.
Note: Please use the Anywave supplied DB9 serial cables to connect the Switch
Controller to each PA.

3Auto Switching - Setup and Operation
Auto mode: Set the switch controller to Remote mode from its front panel
1) Log into the web interface on both amplifiers, and change
their control mode from LOCAL to REMOTE (note: the coaxial
switching only works when both amplifiers are in REMOTE mode). The
RF-CTRL-MODE setting is shown in Figure 2. When switched to
REMOTE mode, the amplifiers’ front panel RF On/Off buttons will be
inactive.
Figure 2
2) Connect all cables/wires as shown in Figure 1, and then turn
on the exciters, amplifiers, coaxial switch and switch controller.
If any power amplifier has a proper output power that is higher than a
pre-set minimum level, then the amplifier can be determined as
VALID. If both PAs are valid, then amplifier A will be selected as the
default PA (Note: The PA connected to REMOTE 1 on the back panel
of the switch controller is recognized the amplifier A, and the PA
connected to REMOTE 2 is recognized as amplifier B).
If there is a problem with the serial port communication between the
PAs and the controller, it will show error on STATUS->
LPTV_A_UART or LPTV_B_UART on the web page as shown in
figure 3.

Figure 3
Figure 4
The Coaxial Switch Controller’s web pages are shown in figures
3 and 4. AMP_FWD_MIN is the minimum output power that is user to
determine VALID amplifier and it can be use adjusted.
AMP_CHANGE_TIMES with the default setting of 3 means the total
number of times that the switch controller will try to switch back and forth
between two amplifiers using the coaxial switch before finally stopping.

3) Switching Procedure: As shown in Figure 3, if the output power of
the amplifier A (now 47W) is less than the AMP_FWD_MIN (set to be
50W), then the Controller will check for a few more times to make sure the
output power is constantly lower than the threshold. This detection period
will take about 30 seconds. Once the power level is confirmed to be lower
than the threshold, then the Controller will switch from amplifier A to
amplifier B using the coaxial switch. The Switch over process is as follows:
first the Controller will mute both amplifiers remotely, then the Controller
will use the coaxial switch to switch amplifier B to the antenna and
amplifier A to the dummy load, as you can see the real time status showing
in LPTV_USED has changed from LPTV_A to CHANGE TO B in
FIG. 5, then the Controller will unmute amplifier B. Amplifier B will be
ramped up from zero to the rated power as shown in figure 6 and
7. Amplifier A RF remains off.
Figure 5
(Detected LPTV_A output is less than AMP_FWD_MIN, shut down both amplifiers,
and to switch to LPTV_B)

(Amplifier B power slowly ramping up)
Figure 7
(Amplifier B at rated power)
4) Likewise, when the output power of amplifier B is less than
AMP_FWD_MIN, the same steps as in step 3 are performed, shown in FIG. 8, 9 and
10.
