distance of up to 300 metres (900 feet); beyond that distance they will need to be locally
powered.
4.9.3 Powering an antenna or antenna splitter
Provision of 24 VDC power to an FS II antenna is done as follows:
• Connect the antenna to a 150/UNI-DIN power supply unit through the 4-pin DIN connector
at the antenna.
• Connect the antenna to an antenna splitter which is powered by a power-supply unit.
The preferred method is to connect the antenna to a powered antenna splitter, as illustrated in
Figure 4-9 Powering an antenna splitter . An antenna splitter distributes power to all antennas
connected to it. A single power-supply unit can power the maximum 5 antennas. However,
maximum cable lengths will be reduced.

splitter only
