Netcom Waveguide Dehydration Solutions
KEEPING WAVEGUIDES DRY FOR OVER 55 YEARS
Moisture in antenna waveguides or transmission lines can lead to signal disruptions, transmission loss, RF reflection and arching. Even worse, oxidization on internal waveguide surfaces degrades microwave transmission over time and cause components failure in antenna systems.
ETI’s built to last dehydrators are the best solution for your system. Our products includes automatic ADH NETCOM systems, manual EDH dehydrators, passive RCD units and air manifold. No matter your system needs, we’ve got you covered.

WAVEGUIDE AUTOMATIC AIR DEHYDRATOR WITH ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS
The ADH NETCOM automatic waveguide dehydrator supplies low pressure dry air to keep waveguide and coaxial cable dry. Output pressure is configurable between 0.10 psig and 7.50 psig (7mbar – 517mbar) in 0.01 psig (0.67mbar) increments. Factory default pressure is 0.5 psig (34.5mbar).
Operational monitoring and alarms are software based making them highly configurable in the field. Future software features can be installed while in service over the internet or local Ethernet network.

NETCOM EDH-4
LOW COST, MANUAL REGENERATION AIR DEHYDRATOR
The EDH–4 dehydrator addresses the need for a low cost, non-regenerating air dehydrator for pressurizing small volume waveguides and coax. It is especially suited for C, X, Ku, and Ka band applications.
The output pressure is 0.5 psig (34.5 mbar) with a maximum flow rate of 6.0 scfh (2.8 lpm). It is intended for use in systems smaller than 18 cubic feet (510 liters). The EDH–4 indicates pressure and status on a bright red LED display. Display parameters are user selectable in English or SI units.
NETCOM EDH-5
LOW COST, MANUAL REGENERATION AIR DEHYDRATOR
EDH-5 Air Dehydrator is a low profile, low cost waveguide or coax environment conditioner. It is engineered to help you get the best performance from your remote or mobile antenna transmission line, no matter how small or where it’s located.
This air dehydrator has a small footprint, an improved pressure sensor and efficient operations. It’s well suited for Ku and Ka band applications. The EDH–5’s go-anywhere, manually regenerated dehydrator pressurizes small volume waveguide and coax.
NETCOM ASM-1
AUTOMATED AIR DISTRIBUTION MANIFOLD
The ASM–1 Smart Manifold automated air manifold distributes low pressure dry air from one or more sources to one or more transmission lines. Output pressure is configurable between 0.10 psig and 7.50 psig (7mbar – 517mbar) in 0.01 psig (0.67mbar) increments. Factory default pressure is 0.5 psig (34.5mbar).
Operational monitoring and alarms are software based making them highly configurable in the field. Future software features can be installed while in service over the internet or local Ethernet network.
NETCOM RCD
LOW COST PASSIVE & PASSIVE SELF-PUMPING DEHYDRATORS
The RCD line of passive dehydrators keeps small volume waveguide and coax systems dry. These dehydrators may also be used to supply short term protection for larger systems; during power interruptions, maintenance, storage, or transportation. An RCD passive dehydrator contains a drying agent sealed in a pressure tight container. A 1/8″ NPT pressure fitting is provided for connecting to the system to be protected. Gas diffusion ensures that the desiccant is exposed to any water vapor present in the system.
Unlike mechanically pressurized systems, an RCD passive dehydrator works best when the waveguide or coax system is tightly sealed.
