Antenna Power Jumpers
Power for Lectrosonics remote RF amplifiers is pro-
vided by DC voltage from the power supply passed
directly to the BNC jacks on the control panel. An
illuminated switch on the left side of the control panel
enables and disables the power. A 300 mA polyfuse
protects against excessive current in each BNC output.
Antenna power switch glows red
when DC power is enabled.
NOTE: The control panel LED will continue to
indicate that antenna power is turned on even if
one or both jumpers is set to disable it.
Antenna power can be disabled at each of the BNC
connectors with jumpers on the internal circuit board.
Remove the cover panel to access the jumpers.
Threaded power connector
Remove the eight smaller screws from the housing
and the three larger screws from the support posts.
Jumpers are located near the corners of the board.
Antenna Power Jumpers
Install the jumpers towards the center of the circuit
board to enable the antenna power, and towards the
outside of the circuit board to disable it.

attaching the cover. Be careful not to overtighten the
screws.

NOTE: When using any amplifier other than
Lectrosonics models, make certain that the DC
voltage and power consumption are within an
acceptable range.
