Hi-Z® Antennas Manual Directional Control Consoles are specialized "low-side" BCD grounding switches that are specifically designed to operate Hi-Z Antennas Phasing

Hi-Z® Antennas Manual Directional Control Consoles are specialized "low-side" BCD grounding switches that are specifically designed to operate Hi-Z Antennas Phasing Combiner relay units, also known as Phase Controllers. Each HIZ-MDC console controls the phasing and direction selection of only Hi-Z Antennas Receive Vertical Antenna Arrays and supplies power to the array element amplifiers. Hi-Z Antennas Manual Directional Control Consoles are attractive and convenient, featuring a large rotary switch knob and green LEDs arranged as receive array directional azimuth indicators with corresponding compass bearing degree

Hi-Z® Antennas Manual Directional Control Consoles are specialized "low-side" BCD grounding switches that are specifically designed to operate Hi-Z Antennas Phasing Combiner relay units, also known as Phase Controllers. Each HIZ-MDC console controls the phasing and direction selection of only Hi-Z Antennas Receive Vertical Antenna Arrays and supplies power to the array element amplifiers. Hi-Z Antennas Manual Directional Control Consoles are attractive and convenient, featuring a large rotary switch knob and green LEDs arranged as receive array directional azimuth indicators with corresponding compass bearing degree markings on the front panel.

Selection of a specific model Manual Directional Control Console (MDC) is required, corresponding to each version of Hi-Z Antennas Receive Array Phasing Combiner or legacy Phase Controller. Each console serves as a replacement for legacy, discontinued Hi-Z manual Shack Switches, and for the discontinued Hi-Z SS-2 and SS-2PLUS:

• HIZ-MDC-4 works only with the multiband Four Square Arrays PC-4A and PC-4ELEMENT
• HIZ-MDC-8PRO works only with the 85/113 ft. diameter multiband 8 Circle Arrays PC-8PRO and PC4-8PROUP/PLUS
• HIZ-MDC-8 works only with the 200 ft./100 ft. diameter monoband 8 Circle Arrays PC-8, PC-8A and PC-8B

HIZ-MDC series Manual Directional Control Consoles are stylish, rugged, and heavy — they stay in place on the desk or shelf with four large non-skid rubber feet under a Stainless Steel chassis and an appropriate black powder coated steel cover. The required multi-conductor array power and BCD control cable (purchased separately for the required number of conductors and length to the array) passes through a grommet on the rear panel and connected internally. A rear panel 2.1mm +13.8VDC power connector accepts the included mating 2.1mm plug and unterminated DC power cable, for connection to a user provided +13.8VDC 1A fused, well-filtered power supply.
