Antenna Interface
The ANTENNA interface (N-Type connector) connects to the antenna (customer supplied) using standard
antenna feedline cable. When determining the cable specifications for your application, refer to Section 2,
Microwave Path Engineering Basics (Coaxial Cable on page 20) for a discussion on cable length and loss
factors.
Fuse
The fuse holder, accessible from the rear panel of the TRACER 4205, accepts a generic 1 Amp, 2-inch
slow-blo fuse.
DC Power Connection
The TRACER 4205 can operate from a supply between 21 and 63 VDC, with either polarity referenced to
ground, and consumes less than 25 Watts (W). Power supplies should be able to provide up to 30 W at
the selected voltage. Current required (in amps) is determined by dividing the power consumed (in watts)
by the applied voltage (in volts). For example, at 48 V, TRACER 4205 would draw approximately 0.52 A
(25 W/48 V).
