    Optional Battery Backup Connector for +24 VDC Backup power source. SMA INPUTS The standard HPDA-15RM-C contains three amplifier modules each having one input SMA connector. If you acquired a modified unit with only two HPDA modules the back panel will contain only two SMA input connectors. The signal to be distributed should be connected to the corresponding SMA jack labeled INPUT.
  • Page 7: Battery Backup Module

    Battery Backup Module Description The battery backup module allows the HPDA-15RM-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 affected by a Schottky diode network and charge storage capacitors to ensure glitch free operation.
