USERS MANUAL ND2310D REVISION DATE 071221 Safety This product has been designed and manufactured to recognized safety standards and rules. The product is a sophisticated electronic instrument that should be installed and operated by highly trained professionals. Installation of this equipment should comply with all local electrical codes.
For applications where there is significant shock and vibration, Novus offers equipment with interior mechanical design features to minimize the effects of vibration and shock on the equipment performance.
071221 Summary The ND2310D is a ten channel wide-bandwidth distribution amplifier. While primarily used for 10 MHz reference distribution, it has a functional bandwidth from DC to 12 MHz but is filtered for the lowest phase noise at 10MHz. For applications other than 10 MHz the unit must be factory configured.

USERS MANUAL ND2310D REVISION DATE 071221 The amplifier can also be optionally redundantly powered. The redundancy feature adds a second power supply which may be AC or DC. The dual input design monitors the input signals and selects the active signal or the prioritized signal.
USERS MANUAL ND2310D REVISION DATE 071221 Controls and Indicators – Front Panel This section describes the functionality of the front panel controls and indicators. Two buttons above the status LEDs provide navigation through the menus. In general, the NEXT button advances through the menus to the next screen, while the SELECT button chooses between the available values on a menu.
USERS MANUAL ND2310D REVISION DATE 071221 Channel Status The channel status can be determined by reading the actual RMS value on the output of each stage. This is compared to a threshold limit that is set by the user as a percentage variation from a saved value. The default variation value is set at ±25% percent from the current state of the amplifier and is user-programmable in...

USERS MANUAL ND2310D REVISION DATE 071221 Latch Channel Values The latch channel values screen allows the user to save the current channel output values for use as the reference value for alert settings. A channel alert is triggered when a channel output voltage exceeds or falls below a percentage of the reference value.
USERS MANUAL ND2310D REVISION DATE 071221 Fault Status The fault status screen allows a quick overview of any channel faults from the front panel. The total fault count is listed, as well as a visual flashing indication of any channels that are beyond the threshold values.
1. Install the NR2310D-O/G in a 19” rack. Be sure to secure the unit with appropriate fasteners to the rack. 2. Install the ND2310D above or below the NR2310D and again secure with appropriate fasteners. Be sure the cable can reach between the units.

USERS MANUAL ND2310D REVISION DATE 071221 RS232 DB9 Port The front panel RS232 port allows convenient setup of the unit in addition to the rear panel RS232 which may be connected to a more permanent instrumentation setup. The front panel RS232 port will respond to the same commands as the rear panel, and any changes made will be reported on both serial ports.
USERS MANUAL ND2310D REVISION DATE 071221 Rear Panel Channel Outputs – BNC or SMA There are ten outputs across the left-hand side of the rear panel. They are labeled 1 through 10. Nominally, the outputs are 50 Ohm impedance. Signal Input A/B Standard impedance is 50 Ohms.
USERS MANUAL ND2310D REVISION DATE 071221 DC Input The DC input connector is a - pin Amphenol circular connector, P/N DL3102A10SL-3P. The mating connector is available as P/N DL3106A10SL-3S. The default DC input voltage is 24Vdc. Custom voltage ranges can be provided from -60Vdc to +60Vdc.
CAN Connector (optional) The ND2310D has an optional CAN bus connection for interrogation of external input source reference NR2x10. The bus provides proprietary status signaling to ensure input status is known, including BIT, GNSS lock, holdover status and health of the input source.
