  • Page 6: Introduction

    This user manual is intended to familiarize you with the installation and with the operation of the product. The DEV 2194 for professional use can be configured via external patch cables to be operated either as a dual 1:8 or as a single 1:16 distribution amplifier.
  • Page 7: Warnings

    DEV Systemtechnik shall not be liable for the failure of users to comply with these requirements. Disconnect the device from the external power line before opening of the housing.
  • Page 8: Product Description

    The LED turns to red if circuits of the amplifier are detected as being defective, i.e. the device has to be sent to DEV Systemtechnik for repair. If the LED is off, this indicates that no power is applied to the amplifier.
  • Page 9: Communication Features

    Additionally to the device panel, a Web Interface (please refer to chapter 5.4) is available for operating the DEV 2194 in Local Mode. The Web Interface provides features for checking the health status and for changing the setup of the device; it provides full control in terms of setting up specific parameters, and it provides access to the recording functionality.
  • Page 10: Distribution Amplifier Operation Modes

    3.1.3 Distribution Amplifier Operation Modes With no patch cables applied, the DEV 2194 is operated as a dual 1:8 distribution amplifier. The input signal is applied to the corresponding input port labeled "In 1:8" at the rear side of the device. A monitor port (50 Ohm, SMA (f)) is provided to monitor the input signal;...

    If the DEV 2194 is already powered up and before RF signal cables are to be connected to the chassis, the LNB power of the amplifiers is to be turned off! Otherwise, there is a risk that a high impulse current degrades the RF performance of the corresponding RF input connector.
