The SIGNAL B LED will be on if all RF outputs B-1 through B-6 are greater than +7 dBm. RF signal levels less than +7 dBm will trigger a fault condition and the SIGNAL LED will not turn on. However, the DA-500 will still provide six buffered copies of every RF input signal. -

If the DC power option is installed, this instrument may also operate on DC power from +12 to +36 VDC as the main power supply. When the DA-500 is set up to operate with both AC and DC power sources at the same time the DC power is used as backup power in case of AC power outages. -
Page 10: Installation
5.0 Installation 5.1 Connecting power The DA-500 ships with a standard North American or European IEC power cord and with a RM12BPE-6S(81) DC connector for units ordered with the DC power option. The instrument may be mounted in a standard 19-inch instrument rack or may be operated on a laboratory bench. -
