3.2 Physical Location
The AT1700 series is intended for rack-mount installation, and for indoor use only.
See Operating Specifications for environmental requirements. As is general practice, the RF cables should be
kept to a minimum length to minimize their impact on measurement results
.
3.3 Electrical Connections
The unit is powered from an external power supply whose input is connected to the AC mains and whose output
is connected to the unit. The power supply is auto-ranging from 100VAC to 240VAC, 47 to 63 Hz.
The AT1700 has no ON-OFF switch. It is powered on or off by connecting or disconnecting the power source,
either at the AC mains or at the DC power connection to the unit.
WARNING! Always use a three-pronged AC power cord (supplied with the product) and insert only into a proper
-
ly grounded three-pronged receptacle. Failure to ensure proper grounding may expose users to a shock hazard
may damage the product and shall void the warranty.
Note: Any attached equipment (customer supplied) must be grounded to the same protective
ground as the Multiplexer.
3.4 Signal Connections
All signal connections made to both input and output ports (“F” connectors) must:
1. Maintain proper ground continuity.
2. Be stripped of any AC or DC component, common in “cable powering” techniques.
Note: At no time should “cable powering” (24 to 90 VAC or VDC) be applied to any of the sig-
nal ports. Doing so may cause irreparable damage to the unit and will void the warranty.
3.5 RS-232 Controller Requirements
There are no specific requirements of the controller other than it must be equipped with an RS-232 communica
