15.0 DC Power Injector Indicators and Connectors

Red Transmit LED:

This LED glows RED when the Converter goes into transmit

mode. The Remote Transmit LED is controlled by unique

circuitry, which actually detects changes in the DC current

traveling through the transmission line to the amplifier. When you

see this LED flash, you will know that the remotely mounted

Converter is going into transmit mode.

Green Receive

LED:

This LED glows GREEN when DC power is applied to the

Converter and it is in the receive mode. When toggling between

transmit and receive, this LED will glow slightly dimmer.

“To Radio”

Connection:

This N-type female connector attaches to the WLAN card via a

short jumper cable.

“To Amplifier”

Connection:

This N-type female connector attaches to the amplifier on the

mast using the coax transmission line.

15 VDC:

This is the DC power input for the injector and is a standard 2.5

mm barrel jack. +15 VDC should be applied with center positive.

16.0 Power Supply

The CA2458 Converter/Amplifier kit comes with a 100 - 240 VAC power supply that

has a standard 2.5 mm barrel plug [center pin positive (+) tip and outer ring

negative (-)]. Although normally supplied with a power supply, any 15 Volt DC, 2

amp (or greater) regulated power supply can be used. The Converter can operate

from 13.8 to 15 VDC enabling vehicle operation as well. The WLAN card receives

power from its host device.

The DC power input is diode protected to prevent damage caused by reverse

polarity input voltages, as well as by an MOV (surge protector) to protect it and

the amp from voltage surges.
