Installation Notes
The domo 5W AMP has been designed specifically for vehicle
applications, however it is a general-purpose amplifier and can be used
in many applications including the following.
• Vehicle applications
• Aircraft applications
• Long Range fixed links
Interconnection between the 5W AMP transmitter and the antenna, or
any intermediate optional power amplifier should be kept as short as
possible. Special attention should be taken to use only low loss cables.
An appropriate cable might be RG213C/U. It is essential to minimise the
distance between any amplifier and the antenna.
The 5W AMP is equipped with a self-regulating 12V input that can be
connected directly to the vehicle battery. Power conversion will be
required for 24V vehicles or 28V aircraft systems.
The 5W AMP is splash resistant, but is NOT waterproof, so it should not
be exposed to moisture for prolonged periods. The 5W AMP is not self-
cooling so should be connected to a metal surface; if this is not possible
the heat sink should be fitted and the unit should be deployed in a
ventilated environment.
