4.1.2 LNB Power

LNB power is controlled by a pushbutton switch. An LED indicates when the LNB
power is enabled. The power (+24 VDC) is supplied along the center conductor of the IF
input coaxial cable.

• If the current drawn by the LNB is within the established limits, the LED will

illuminate GREEN.

• If the current drawn by the LNB is out of the established limits, the LED will

illuminate RED.
