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.
