Page 10: Supply Voltage
Supply Voltage Setting The Frequency Distribution Amplifier may be connected to any AC supply with a voltage rating of 90 to 265 Vrms, 45 to 440Hz.The Frequency Distribution Amplifier automatically adjusts itself to the input line voltage. Fuse The secondary supply voltages are electronically protected against overload or short circuit. The primary line voltage side is protected by a fuse located on the power supply unit. -

Rackmount Adapter – two instruments (Option 22/05) This rackmount adapter can hold any two standard Pendulum ½ * 19” unit, like FDA-301, CNT-9x, GSG-5, GSG-6, GPS-12x etc. If you have ordered the Option 22/05 rack-mount kit for two instruments, it has to be also assembled after delivery of the instrument. -
Page 14: Assembling The Rackmount Kit (Option 22/05)
Assembling the Rackmount Kit (Option 22/05) - Turn the devices upside down - Remove the rubber feet in the plastic stand - Loosen the screws underneath the rubber feet - Remove the plastic stands - Remove the four decorative plugs that cover the screw holes on the right and left side of the front panel. -
Page 16: Using The Controls
The operation of the Frequency Distribution Amplifier is extremely simple. There are no settings controls whatsoever on the FDA-301, not even a power switch. The operation is truly plug-and-play. Just plug in the FDA-301 to the mains power, and connect your input source – coax or fiber – to the relevant input connector. -
Page 17: Rear Panel - Outputs
The Power indicators show the status of the power supplies. If DC power supply option is not installed, that LED is always Red If LED’s are turned off/black, there is no power supplied to the FDA-301. Note that the Input Status indicators do not evaluate the quality of the input signals, only the amplitude. -
Page 18: Signal Types
The default sine frequency is 10 MHz, but FDA-301 could be modified to distribute other common reference frequencies instead, from 200 kHz up to 40 MHz. Please contact Pendulum Instrument about desired frequency, before ordering. -
Page 19: Start And Usage
Power supply redundancy with auto-changeover When the DC power supply option, Option 49, is installed and connected to +24V, the FDA-301 is set- up for automatic change-over of the power source. Normally, the internal secondary power voltages are generated from the AC supply, but in the case of a power line failure, the DC supply option automatically takes over. -
Page 20: Configuration Examples
Configuration examples There are no parameters to be configured or set. The FDA-301 can be used in many distribution situations. For example: Local Coax distribution (coax in – coax out) to up to 12 users (1 FDA-unit) Remote Coax distribution (coax in/fiber out – fiber in/coax out) to up to 216 users (multiple... -
