S4000 Antenna Distribution Unit
ഀ
ഀ
The S4000ADU antenna distribution unit is designed to allow the use of a single pair of antennas with up to 5 receivers. ഀ
For larger systems, one of the outputs is optimised for use feeding an additional ADU, ഀ
allowing multiple ADUs to be cascaded each feeding up to four receivers. ഀ
It is suitable for use with S4000, S4.16, S5.3 and S5.5 receivers and can be rack mounted (1U, ഀ
half width) using the ACC/S4.16RK rack mount tray.
Connect the two receiving antennas to the Antenna A and B inputs. Using the SMC-TNC cables provided, connect outputs 1 to 4 to the receiver antenna inputs for both channel A and B. ഀ The ADU Link output may be used to feed a fifth receiver or can be used to feed another ADU. ഀ In this case use the SMC-TNC cables to connect the ADU Link outputs of the first ADU to the antenna inputs of the second one. ഀ Connect the DC power input to a suitable Trantec DC power supply or to the PS/RACK-PDU available from the Trantec product range.
ഀ ഀWith everything connected correctly, the receivers should function as normal. The ADU must be powered up to operate - this is indicated by the front panel power LED. ഀ By using one or more ADUs, a single pair of antennas can be optimally located and used to feed all the receivers in a system. ഀ Good quality RF cable should be used between the antennas and the first ADU. ഀ Each ADU output is individually buffered and has a gain of around +3dB to compensate for cable losses. ഀ If one output is short-circuited, the others will continue to operate normally.
