The ac power input accepts any input from 100 through 240 Vac at 50
through 60 Hz. The fuse is a 2 amp slow blow, 250 Vac.
B
RF
OUT
The
RF OUT
provides 71 through 129 MHz RF output for distribution. This
is an F-type connector.
C
The sync in BNC connector provides for symbol rate sync input from an
external source. The required input frequency is 4.096 MHz ± 0.01%. The
input signal level is 6 through 8 V p-p.
D
IF
OUT
T
HE IF OUT
provides a 44 MHz IF output signal that can be used with an
external upconverter to generate any other desired center frequency for
RF distribution.
E
The
EMR ALRT
connectors are of the binding post type and part of the
emergency alert system circuitry. This circuitry enables civil authorities to
deliver emergency warnings to cable subscribers. The black post
connects to ground. The red post connects to an emergency alert remote
control unit.
F
PORT
5
is an optional DB25 male (DTE) connector. This RS-530 or RS-232
port that connects to an optional module within the unit, permitting
interface of the OM 1000 with additional signals.
G
PORT
4
is an optional DB25 male (DTE) connector. This RS-530 or RS-232
port that connects to an optional module within the unit permitting
interface of the OM 1000 with additional signals.
H
PORT
3
is an RJ-45 connector for Ethernet 10Base-T IEEE 802.3. This
Ethernet port is for input/output data communications. Receipt or
transmission of data is indicated by blinking LEDs.
I
PORT
2
is a DB9-pin RS-232 communications port used for data
input/output.
