Typical Strata System Configuration Setup
Strata TX Powering Options and Cautions
Note the following recommended Strata system powering options and rules.
1. TCU stand-alone powering: +12 volts to + 48 volts DC.
2. TXU stand-alone powering: +12 volts to + 48 volts DC.
3. TCU and TXU adjacent: +12 volts to + 48 volts DC. *
4. TCU separated from TXU/HPU (TXU supplying power): +48 volts DC (for distances > 100 feet). **
5. TCU separated from TXU/HPU (TCU supplying power): +24 volts (minimum). ***
Notes:
* When powering adjacent TCU/TXU configurations, apply power to both TCU and TXU units.
** Special rules apply for longer distance separation applications depending on coaxial cable type,
distance and whether an HPU is used.
*** Necessary to reduce current drain over IF coaxial cable – rec48 volts.
