Antenna Power Jumpers

Power for Lectrosonics remote RF amplifiers is pro-

vided by DC voltage from the power supply passed

directly to the BNC jacks on the control panel. An

illuminated switch on the left side of the control panel

enables and disables the power. A 300 mA polyfuse

protects against excessive current in each BNC output.

Antenna power switch glows red

when DC power is enabled.

NOTE: The control panel LED will continue to

indicate that antenna power is turned on even if

one or both jumpers is set to disable it.

Antenna power can be disabled at each of the BNC

connectors with jumpers on the internal circuit board.

Remove the cover panel to access the jumpers.

Threaded power connector

Remove the eight smaller screws from the housing

and the three larger screws from the support posts.

Jumpers are located near the corners of the board.

Antenna Power Jumpers

Install the jumpers towards the center of the circuit

board to enable the antenna power, and towards the

attaching the cover. Be careful not to overtighten the

screws.

NOTE: When using any amplifier other than

Lectrosonics models, make certain that the DC

voltage and power consumption are within an

acceptable range.
