The Receiver Multi-Coupler provides three independent channels which expand a single receive signal into a maximum of six ports. The module contains two hot swappable redundant power supplies (DC/ DC converters) connected in parallel with reverse polarity, current limit and over-voltage protection. The power supplies converts the -48 VDC (input) to a regulated voltage required to power the three Low-Noise Amplifiers (LNAs). The output of each LNA is then divided equally into six isolated ports using a precision balanced resistive Power Splitter. The overall Gain of the Receiver Multi-Coupler is user selectable for compatibility with both GEN4 and pre-GEN4 equipment. The Receiver Multi-Coupler contains all the required monitoring and alarm circuitry for proper operation in the system. A three pin Mate-N-Lock II connector located in the rear of the unit is used for the Breaker Panel trip alarm input. This input, along with the internal Amplifier fail alarm and Power Supply fail alarm are then internally cabled to an 8 pin TELCO jack mounted on the back of the module. The jack provides the connection for alarm monitoring equipment located in the main rack.
