Multi-Channel Configuration with ADU The S5 series is designed for simultaneous use of several systems. Ensure each system is assigned a different operating channel. Use only channels from one bank to ensure multi-channel compatibility. Try to ensure that each transmitter is separated by 0.5 M (1.5 ft) during operation.
Antenna Head Amplifiers Trantec head amplifiers are designed to reduce the effect of long RF antenna cable runs between the receivers or ADUs and remote antennae. The S/ADU and S5 Series Receiver can supply power to the head amplifier. Please note: head amplifiers can introduce some unwanted effects, such as RF blocking and increased intermodulation, especially in multi-channel applications.
