Interfacing the Fusion SingleStar to an RF Source
WARNING:
Only LGC personnel or LGC-authorized installation per-
sonnel should connect the Fusion SingleStar Hub to its Band associated
base station or repeater. Exceeding the maximum input power could
cause failure of the Fusion SingleStar Hub (refer to Section 5.2 on page 5-4 for
maximum power specifications). If the maximum composite power is too high,
attenuation is required.

sonnel should connect the Fusion SingleStar Hub to a base station or
repeater. Exceeding the maximum input power could cause failure of
the Fusion SingleStar Hub (refer to Section 5.2 on page 5-4 for maximum power
specifications). If the maximum composite power is too high, attenuation is
required.

feed from the base station. If DC power is present, a DC block must be used
or the hub may be damaged.

the base station.
2.
Connect the other end of the N-male to N-male coaxial cable to the
DOWNLINK
connector on the Hub for either Band 1 or Band 2.
3.
Connect an N-male to N-male coaxial cable to the receive simplex connector on
the base station.
4.
Connect the other end of the N-male to N-male coaxial cable to the
