Array Solutions Level Converter 

The Array Solutions Level converter was developed to solve the problem of how to mix source and sinking devices. Many antenna switches and bandpass filters on the market require a sink or ground level signal to pull in their relays. Others like a source or 12V DC to pull in the relays. Some control devices will provide a source and some will sink current. When you try to mix these devices they won’t work unless you have a way to match what these devices want to see as voltage and current.

Array Solutions has the perfect product for supporting the band decoder interface of the Ten-Tec Orion Transceiver and other applications that require sink to source or source to sink level conversion.

	Inputs and outputs can be sinking or sourcing
	Outputs voltages are driven by relays to allow either + or – voltage up to 50V DC or AC to be placed on the common armature.
	This allows the outputs to be driven outside to the tower for very long distances as well as supplying isolation between inputs and outputs in case of lightning surges.
	Using relays is far superior to the bare transistor drivers in your radio, and will protect these devices from possible damage due to surges.
	Terminal strip inputs and outputs allow easy wire terminations for your devices.  Use it as a convenient junction box for cables going to your bandpass filters, antenna switches, and other specialized devices.
	Low current relay inputs allow the Orion to drive it easily.
	Small size approximately 5X5 inches.

Applications include

	Top Ten or W9XT band decoders which supply sinking current outputs as the standard output levels. This device will provide Isolated Source outputs to drive Remote antenna switches that require 12VDC, AC or higher voltage signals.
	Isolated high current relay drivers
	Re-drive Source to Source, Sink to Sink, Sink to Source, and Source to Sink depending on how you set it up.
	Driving ICE 419a (sink inputs) bandpass filters from decoders that only supply source drivers
	Driving 26V DC Vacuum relays or devices that require 50V AC or DC
	Driving AC coil relays
	Driving remote relays on towers that have very long cable runs
	Protecting your band decoders from lighting surges
	The Perfect Ten-Tec Band data  interface - Cables available from us for the Orion radio
