2.) Connect the IF OUT, J1, to the external equipment
3.) Connect 90- 260 VAC, 47 - 63 Hz to AC1 on the back panel.
4.) Set the desired input frequency (See Section 2.5 Menu Settings).
5.) Set the gain to get an output level in the 0 to -20 dBm range (See Section 2.5 Menu Settings).
6.) To power the LNB (+24 VDC, 2.5 amps, max) from the 2017 install a 1 amp 1/4” fuse in F1.
CAUTION!!! INSTALLING A FUSE IN F1 PUTS +24 VDC, 0.5 AMP POWER
ON THE CENTER PIN AND MAY DAMAGE EQUIPMENT IF IMPROPERLY
CONNECTED TO EQUIPMENT THAT CANNOT HANDLE THIS VOLTAGE
OR HAS A DC PATH TO GROUND.
7.) Be sure DS6 (green, DC Power) is on and DS2 (red, Alarm) is off (Figure 2.2).
8.) AC Fuse - The fuse is a 5 mm X 20 mm, 2 amp slow blow (Type T) and is inserted in the far slot in
the drawer below the AC input as shown in Figure 2.3. There is a spare fuse in the near slot. If a fuse
continues to open, the power supply is most likely defective.
