  • Page 8: Circuit Description

    The output signal from the amplifier system is fed to an n-way passive power splitter circuitry, where n corresponds to the number of outputs of the particular multicoupler. The PRO-DAR4 is provided with a 4-splitter circuitry at the output. The 4 outputs from the splitter form the 4 identical RX outputs.
  • Page 9: Alarm System

    If desired, the PRO-DAR models can be ordered with a costumer selected factory built-in preselector filter. Amphenol Procom offers a large number of standard low-loss filters, which are suitable as multicoupler preselector. An overview of available filters suitable for preselector is found on the PRO-DAR datasheet www.amphenolprocom.dk...
  • Page 10: Power Supply

    Power supply The PRO-DAR versions are provided with a power supply unit which supplies DC voltage for the RF amplifier module. The power supply unit both can operate with 230 or 115 VAC mains voltage and with 12 or 24 or 48 VDC, depending on model. The AC mains voltage directly feeds a mains voltage winding on the mains transformer, The DC voltage feeds a 50 Hz power multivibrator circuitry, which supplies a 50 Hz square wave to a low voltage winding on the mains transformer.

    A 3-wire IEC power cord must be used for mains voltage connection. 7.3.2 Protective earth The main earthing point is the center contact of the mains power inlet. See rear view above in section 7.2. Connection to protective earth is provided via the 3-wire IEC power cord. The PRO-DAR models therefore must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.
  • Page 14: Functional Earth

    Functional earth The center terminal of the 3-pole terminal block marked can be used as functional earth as well, when needed. Connection of alarm The alarm output provides connection to a relay switch-over contact, which setting indicates the operating condition of the RF amplifier system. The alarm output is provided with a 3 pole Phoenix 5.08 mm header/plug.
