ACOM 560 | CW Paddle


Application
The ACOM 560 CW Paddle makes using Radiotelegraphy and Morse code easy. The device can be used with an external keyer or with any modern transceiver with a built-in CW keyer.

Innovation and Quality
ACOM presents its breakthrough in telegraphy paddles with the introduction of the 560. The paddle is based on and manufactured using state‑of‑the‑art technologies, demonstrating ACOM's well-known innovative spirit and quality.

Advantages
Intelligent control with menu-driven functions. The ACOM 560 CW Paddle is controlled by a microcomputer with an LCD screen, as is common to ACOM products.
The ACOM 560 CW Paddle uses tension sensors to detect operator pressure on the levers. There are no moving parts inside the device that could cause mechanical problems. This guarantees the long life of your paddle.
The activating tension force can be adjusted from only 10 grams to 60 grams. No more health problems with your fingers and hands, which are usual when using mechanical CW devices.
Precision and sensitivity. With the refined operator pressure on the levers, you will have consistent and repeatable pressure registration for more accurate dot and dash generation. The tension force is freely defined for each lever individually and saved in 5 setting groups in the paddle's internal memory.
Silent telegraphy. The silence is what you dream of. And the ACOM 560 CW Paddle will give it to you, with its non-moving levers.

Easy to use
The ACOM 560 CW Paddle keying technique is the same as keying with a mechanical paddle, but now you will increase your maximum keying speed. The paddle weight of around 1 kg, combined with the anti-slip bottom pad, makes the device virtually stationary while keying, allowing you to enjoy your transmission.

No Service Needed
Since there are no mechanical moving parts, the ACOM 560 CW Paddle does not require the maintenance typical of mechanical devices.

    • This simulates the classic behavior of a mechanical single-arm paddle:;
  • Single Lever mode B - single-arm paddle:;
    • In the case of simultaneous or partially overlapping pressing, the sensor with the greater pressure at the given moment has the advantage;
    • This allows for more flexible control and dynamic switching of the dominant paddle:;

Tension Sensors Calibrating

  • Fully automatic, menu-driven tension sensor's calibration procedure;

Paddle Outputs

  • 50 V / 10 mA max.;
