Warning:
Improper grounding can adversely affect amplifier performance and may lead to equipment damage or personal injury. Failure to properly ground the amplifier will void the warranty.
The amplifier is not designed to withstand a lightning strike. Amplifier warranty does not apply to damage caused by lightning.
Operation of the Amplifier
On power up, the amplifier will be in a "receive" mode. The mode switches to "transmit" when the amplifier receives a signal from a radio modem. A Green light on the DC injector indicates that the amplifier has power. A red light on the DC injector indicates that the amplifier is in a "transmit" mode. The red light blinks when the amplifier is connected to a bi-directional RF device.
A constant red light indicates that the amplifier is continuously in "transmit" mode and is not communicating properly. This is an abnormal condition that can be caused by any of the following:
- High noise level in the feeder of the transmitting device. With time, some radio modems develop elevated natural noise levels, even in the "receive" mode. This noise can cause the amplifier to switch from "receive" to "transmit" mode, causing interruptions in communications. If this problem is detected, the transmitting device should be replaced.
- External interference. If the amplifier is not properly grounded, external interference can cause the amplifier to intermittently switch to "transmit" mode. This condition has been observed with certain brands of radio modems, due to the modems' poor shielding characteristics. Thus, if the transmitting device is not adequately shielded, several such devices operating in close proximity can interfere with the amplifier's operation.
If the red light does not come on at all, the cable could be defective, or the cable length may exceed maximum allowable length.
