8310-XXX-XN Series are single channel configurations where RF signal is routed through either the front or rear mounted Ports A & B connector (Ports A-A if the RF is routed front to rear) to a single or multiple Aeroflex / Weinschel programmable attenuators thus creating CH1 (Channel 1).
Under U.S. shipping regulations, damage claims must be collected by the consignee; DO NOT return the equipment to Aeroflex / Weinschel until a claim for damages has been established. 1-6. RESHIPMENT: Use the best packaging materials available to protect the unit during storage or reshipment.
Following these simple safety precautions will ensure safe operation and service of the Attenuator Unit. 1-12. POWER REQUIREMENTS: Aeroflex / Weinschel supplies a detachable power cable (P/N 068-21) to connect a 115 to 230 Vac power source with a frequency between 50 to 60 H to the Attenuator Unit.
RF Characteristics NOTES: 1. RS-232 can be used with standard PC serial port for short and medium distances (up to approximately 50 ft). 2. Refer to Individual data sheet (Appendix C) for detailed specifications on internal programmable attenuators. Aeroflex / Weinschel...
