In case of amplifier faults, the central conductor is grounded forcing the equipment to enter stand-by mode. 7.4 Power Supply Block The power supply of the TEX302TFT provides the two main power supplies: 1. Services. This voltage powers elements that do not directly affect the power supply such as the motherboard, panel board and fans. 2. Power supply. This voltage powers the RF power amplifier module and protects the equipment from any sudden fluctuations in the mains voltage.

    TEX302TFT ELETTRONICA 9.5 UP/DOWN Power option (software only) The UP/DOWN Power option modifies the function of receiving signals present on the telemetry connector. Specifically, the on and off control signals of the RF section become control signals of the emitted RF power level, allowing UP/DOWN adjustment. The UP or DOWN command is provided by connecting the relative signal on the connector to ground for at least 500mS (the pin has an internal pull-up towards the power supply).
