HPDA15-RM-C Description The HPDA15-RM-C is a high performance distribution and isolation amplifier. It contains 3 modules each of which provide 5 unity gain outputs for every input signal. Typical cross channel isolation is 125 dB and reverse isolation is typically greater than 135 dB.
Service Do not attempt to service or adjust the instrument unless another person, capable of providing first aid or resuscitation, is present. Contact SDI for any questions or repairs. Operation To operate the unit, locate the AC power entry connector on the rear panel and connect the power cable.
The Front Panel The Front Panel AC Power LED The LED is on when AC power is applied to unit and the unit is operating properly. DC Power LED The LED is on when DC power is applied to unit and the unit is operating properly. Monitor LED The LED will turn on if the input signal to the corresponding channel is greater than +7 dBm.
The Back Panel The Back Panel AC POWER ENTRY MODULE The HPDA15-RM-C is configured to operate on 100 to 120 VAC. DC POWER ENTRY CONNECTOR Optional Battery Backup Connector for +24 VDC Backup power source. SMA INPUTS There are 3 amplifier modules each having one input and 5 outputs. The signal to be distributed should be connected to the SMA jack labeled input.
Battery Backup Module Description The battery backup module allows the HPDA15-RM-C instrument to be powered by a 24 VDC power source in case of loss of the main AC power. The switch from AC to DC supply operation is effected by a schottky diode network and charge storage capacitors to ensure glitch free operation.
