Figure 10 illustrates the plug-in board required for the 2X redundant return option. Jumpers
J
5
and
J
6
are shown in the correct position. Jumper
J
6
enables signal flow to output connector
J
8
(Tx2) when in the left-most position. Jumper
J
5
terminates input connector
J

) when only
a single RF input is used.

To set up the split redundant return option:
1
Confirm that SG4-DRT-2X transmitters are installed in lid optics slots 3 and 4, and 5 and 6.
2
Confirm that a 2X redundant return board is installed in return configuration locations 2
and 3 as illustrated in Figure 8.
3
Position
J
6
in the left-most position on each configuration board to enable the output to Tx2.
4
Connect an RF cable from connector TX1 on the 2X redundant return board in configuration
location 2 to CH B of the transmitter in lid optics slots 3 and 4.
5
Connect a second RF cable from connector TX2 on the 2X redundant return board in
configuration location 2 to CH B of the transmitter in lid optics slots 5 and 6.
6
Connect an RF cable from connector TX1 on the 2X return redundant board in configuration
location 3 to CH A of the transmitter in lid optics slots 3 and 4.
7
Connect a second RF cable from connector TX2 on the 2X return redundant board in
configuration location 3 to CH A of the transmitter in lid optics slots 5 and 6.
