For applications without doublers, the HLU-431 List 1F is directly connected to the HRU by the two cable pairs. For doubler applications, one doubler may be used in the HDSL loops between the HLU-431 List 1F and the HRU.

Push the unit in until it touches the backplane card-edge connector and the retaining latch on the front panel opens. Place your thumbs on the HLU-431 front panel and push the card into the card-edge connector until the unit is within the card guides and properly seated.
For both doubler and non-doubler applications, this setting also allows the HLU-431 List 1F to power single doubler circuits without exceeding 140V line voltage. This is required when, for example, the HLU-431 List 1F is used with Positron HDSL dc/ac convertor circuits to provide high voltage isolation between the cable pairs and the HLU-431 List 1F.

OUBLER PPLICATIONS The low voltage limit (140V) of the HLU-431 HDSL power supply limits its doubler applications to just one doubler. It can power one doubler and one remote unit if the doublers are one of the following: HDU-404, HDU-407 or HDU-409.

VOLTAGE SOLATION PPLICATIONS Since the HLU-431 List 1F restricts its output voltage to 140V for all applications including doublers, it can be used with Positron High Voltage Protection (HVP) equipment. This equipment consists of High Voltage HDSL isolation transformers and dc-to-dc converters located in external High Voltage Interface (HVI) cabinets.
Page 22
The maximum input voltage that the dc-to-dc converter can tolerate is 150V which makes it compatible with the HLU-431 List 1F whose maximum output voltage is 140V. For more information on the HDSL-compatible HVP equipment, contact Positron at 303-688-5800.
