Safeguard Your RF Plant with Advanced Monitoring
Introducing the Plus-X VSWR, a cutting-edge solution designed to protect your valuable investment in RF combiners, transmission lines, and antenna systems. This system ensures the fast activation of transmitter interlocks by monitoring forward and reflected power across up to four transmission lines. With continuous updates on VSWR calculations, the Plus-X VSWR acts immediately when it detects that user-defined thresholds have been exceeded, safeguarding your equipment from potential damage.
Seamless Integration for Comprehensive Control
The Plus-X VSWR is engineered to work in harmony with other Plus-X devices, allowing for seamless integration with your ARC Plus or Arcturus systems. This compatibility ensures a unified approach to monitoring and controlling your entire operation, providing peace of mind and enhanced system reliability.
