I am going to install one of these units at my location.

The printed material that came with the unit says nothing should be
between the control box and the relay box.

In particular, anything that is a DC short to ground, or a DC open in
the transmission line (such as some transient suppressors)..

It sends AC (actually either or both halves of rectified AC) up the wire
to control the relays.


Well, does this mean the control box will handle the 1200-1500 watts from
my linear? that would be the last piece of equipment in the line.

Need some input please!



I know how it works, what I want to know is if my control box - located
right after the linear can handle the power.

There is no power rating in my couple sheets of instructions
