13.0 Converter Indicators and Connectors
CAUTION:
Only use high quality N-type connectors. Do not use
PL259 “CB” type UHF connectors. Doing so will ruin the
N-Female jacks and void your warranty.
Transmit
LED:
This LED glows RED when the Converter has switched to
the transmit mode. This occurs when the Converter
detects RF power at the N-type connector labeled “To DC
Injector”.
Receive
LED:
This LED glows GREEN in the receive mode when DC
power is applied to the Converter/Amplifier. It is turned off
when the Converter is in the transmitting mode.
DC Injector
Connection:
This N-type female connector attaches to the DC Power
Injector via the transmission cable. The length of this
cable will determine the type of cable that should be used.
See the Installation Detail diagram in Section 12.0 and
Appendix B, Table B for more information.
Antenna
Connection:
This N-type female connector attaches to the antenna with
the shortest length of low-loss coax cable possible.
14.0 DC Power Injector
A DC Power Injector is an in-line device that “injects” the DC power onto the coax
cable to provide the power necessary to operate the remotely mounted converter/
amplifier. The DC Power Injector is the interface between the WLAN card and the
Outdoor Unit. This allows the coax cable to carry both RF signals and DC power to
the mast-mounted Converter/Amplifier. This precludes the need to run a separate
power cable to the remote mounted Converter/Amplifier.
When grounded to either an earth ground through the grounding stud or mounting
flange, the DC Power Injector will provide maximum lightning protection to your
radio modem, wireless LAN card or Access Point.
