ES-4 COMES AS A CONTROL UNIT AND A BASE (SWITCHING) UNIT
THE BASE UNIT RECEIVES 12V POWER AND HAS ALL THE HEAVY COAXIAL CABLES CONNECTED TO IT. THERE IS ALSO PROVISION FOR CONNECTING UP TO 3 PTT AND UP TO 3 ALC CABLES (OPTIONAL, IF USED OR NEEDED). TYPICALLY THE BASE UNIT IS INSTALLED BEHIND THE AMPLIFIER, POSSIBLY ON A WALL OR WOODEN PANEL (MOUNTING BRACKET SUPPLIED).
THE CONTROL UNIT IS CONNECTED TO THE BASE VIA A FLAT CABLE. IT HAS AN OPTIONAL PTT CONNECTION. THE CONTROL UNIT IS TYPICALLY PLACED IN FRONT OF THE OPERATOR, NEAR THE RADIO.

Specifications
- Input power (3 inputs): 200 W maximum , 50 Ω load, non-switching
- The non-active inputs: grounded
- Output power (5 outputs): 2000 W, 3000 W peak, 50 Ω load, non-switching
- Feedback Output to Input: about -115dB@30MHz
- SWR: Better than 1:1.05, 1 MHz to 30 MHz, Input (Radio) and Output (Antenna)
- Power requirements: 12 Vdc, 11 to 15 V range, up to 250 mA current
- Protection: “Hot Switching” – changing input or output is inhibited if PTT is low (<1 V)
- The PTT (RCA) sockets output a weak voltage of +5 V. When pulled low, the current is about 8 mA.
- ALC negative signal sent to the 3 radios via back to back diodes (if connected)
NOTE:
PTT must be connected for the Hot Switching protection to work
