power supply or from another source such as aircraft or vehicle
power.
Power is distributed to the RX in one of two ways: through the
front panel connectors on both the RXU and RCU, or over the
coaxial cable connecting the RXU and RCU.
Which method you use will depend on whether the RXU and
RCU are located together (“co-located”) or are in separate
locations.
RXU and RCU Co-Located
If the RXU and RCU are
co-located, power is usually supplied to each unit through its
power connector, from the same power source. See Figure 6-4.
Figure 6-4: Powering the RXU and RCU Independently
RXU and RCU Separated
If your installation calls for
separating the RXU and RCU, the RXU can be powered by DC
supplied by the RCU via the coaxial cable between the units.
See Figure 6-5.

WARNING
Turn off DC Power on the coax before
connecting any test equipment.
Panel Power Connections
The RXU and RCU use the same
type of power connector. In the RXU it is on the front panel; on
the RCU it is on the rear panel. In both cases it is labelled
“POWER”.
The mating connector that plugs into this panel connector is
described below.
