CONNECTING RF CONTROL STATIONS TO THE POWER SUPPLY
A separate power system is provided for the RF control stations that consists of one or two power supplies
depending on the configuration. Each power supply (PS) is connected to a DC power distribution panel (PDP).
The power supply is a rack mountable assembly each supplying four RF control stations. The DC output of the
power supply is connected to a power distribution panel that provides up to seven +13.6 VDC outputs to RF
control stations (only four connectors are used). On the RF control station side, the rear of the shelf has two
power connectors, one for each radio.
Use the following instructions to connect the RF control stations to the power supply. Note that a power
connector on the shelf should be connected to a connector on the power distribution panel with the same number
to minimize the cable length.
1. Connect the connector of the PS-PDP power cable marked “PS” to the output of the power supply. Connect
the connector of the power cable marked “PDP” to a connector in the power distribution panel (preferably the
fifth connector).
2. Locate the power connector of the first RF control station which is on the rear of the first shelf .
3. Locate the first DC output of the power distribution panel (preferably connector 2 on the power distribution
panel).
4. Attach the PDP-RF Control Station power cable to the power connector of the first RF control station.
5. Attach the other end of the power cable to the DC output of the power distribution panel located in step 3.
6. Repeat the step 2 through 5 for other three RF control stations.
7. If it is a eight-port Data Advantage, repeat the steps 1 - 6 for the second group of RF control stations.
