Page 3: Arxc - General Description
ARXC.LoRa modules for wireless connection up to couple of kilometers distance. ARXC.REL ARXC.REL is four (4) external relays module allowing to control remote antenna switches, polarization switches, mast preamplifiers or anything what is suitable to be controlled from the ARCO user interface, touch screen or VNC for Internet remote control. -

1 (shown on picture), 2, 3, 4. Each ARXC.REL module has then its own setup in ARCO System menu on respective tabs ARXC 1 – ARXC 4. ARXC.MAG has its address set internally and ARXC.LoRa has no address. - Page 5 © 2022 All rights reserved Communication line has to be twisted pair, we recommend to use readily available CAT5 or CAT6 cable. In case of longer connection (hundreds of meters), terminate both ends of communication line by 150 ohm resistor connected between ZA and ZB poles. Use unused wires in parallel for each power pole connection to minimize power drop, especially if you use power leads also for powering other device like preamplifier, antenna switch or similar device.

Page 9: Arxc - Software Setup
After wiring it is necessary to make software setup of ARXC modules in the ARCO menu system. ARXC.LoRa modules have no software setup, they are set to operate together in factory. ARXC.MAG and ARXC.REL requires specific setup to let ARCO know how to use each module. -
Page 10: Using Arxc.mag Sensor
© 2022 All rights reserved Please note, that status transitions described in the following might take some time to be reflected on the Menu->System->ARXC.MAG window. So, after any parameter change/click, please allow a few seconds for the displayed values to refresh. - Page 11 © 2022 All rights reserved Switching sensor from rotator's primary sensor to ARXC.MAG Choice when ARCO was calibrated with original rotator's sensor but sensor suddenly failed. Prerequisite: ARXC.MAG is in ACTIVE state. In Menu->Rotator->Settings change Sensor from the primary to ARXC.MAG.
- Page 12 © 2022 All rights reserved Hardware status To signal basic functionality of ARXC.MAG, LED inside module indicates polarity of the X component of uncalibrated measurement of magnetic vector. In other words, LED is on, if the general direction of terminal block of ARXC.MAG is towards North.

Page 13: Arxc.rel Settings And Use
© 2022 All rights reserved ARXC.REL Settings and Use Relay outputs of ARXC.REL can be configured for different behaviour (Type) and these types can be combined together. There are three cathegories of ARXC Types: • BCD-N • 1-of-N • TOGGLE 1-4 Both BCD-N and 1-of-N consist of a group of the first N relays (where N = 2, 3 or 4), where changing state of relays obeys certain rules;... - Page 14 © 2022 All rights reserved TOGGLE 1-4 Type TOGGLE 1-4 is the simplest Type, and items in its menu are present also in menus for other Types. A - this is a "live" visualization of current state of individual relays; relays' state can be toggled by clicking on the individual "buttons"...
- Page 15 © 2022 All rights reserved When azimuth control is enabled for 1-of-N by ticking the ENABLE AZIMUTH CONTROL tickbox, its menu slightly changes: Individual relays in the 1-of-N group can be assigned individual azimuths, which represent the primary direction for the state, when corresponding relay is switched on.
- Page 16 © 2022 All rights reserved Non-azimutal ARXC features can be controlled from the main screen through extended Presets. To preserve the previous behaviour, there is a common set of Presets, which is by default assigned to all three Antennas. However, as soon as at least one ARXC is present, each Antenna can be optionally assigned its own individual set of presets.
