4 Electrical Connections
The motorized attenuator module requires two input voltages to be applied for
operation:
+5VDC @ 100mA.
+12VDC @ 500mA.
The included power/communications cable includes the minimum connections for
operation. Detailed electrical connections are described in the tables below.
