Input power should be between –10 and +10 dBm.
3.2 Electrical Features:
The PMDPro system uses a power supply that accepts 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz line
voltages. Due to high voltage, the following safety precautions must be exercised during
operation.
•
The ground pin on the power supply cord must be connected to earth ground of
the wall receptacle.
•
Never touch the boards inside the package without proper insulation.
•
The PMDPro is not user serviceable. It should be serviced only by factory-
authorized personnel.
The front panel of the PMDPro is shown in Figure 3. The power switch (Power), liquid
crystal display (LCD), push button control pads, and input/output optical connectors are
mounted on the front panel. The AC power plug, fuse, chassis ground connector, RS-232,
USB, Ethernet, and GPIB interface connectors, and two fans are mounted on the rear
panel, as shown in Figure 4.
The PMDPro includes RS-232, USB, Ethernet, and GPIB interfaces for external
computer operation of the system and data readout. RS-232 and USB cables are provided
for connecting the PMDPro to a personal computer. A LabView™ (National Instruments,
) control program compatible with all of the control interfaces is provided.
Control commands and control program installation and operation instructions are located
in Section 4.3.
