12 ctives RF witch Modules The ignalon RF witch Module (RFM) is designed for use with the ignalon 8-position, or 20-position powered chassis. ll RF connections to the switch are made through standard 75 Ohm BN, or F connectors on the rear of the module. ll operating controls & indicators are located on the front panel with configuration controls located on the rear of the module. The primary function of the module is to monitor the RF signal gain of the operating primary input, and switch to the backup B input if the gain of the primary path rises, or falls below the pre-set customer selected threshold. hould the input side go above, or fall below the threshold of the unit, the RFM will rapidly switch the input from the failed input to the secondary input. This switch usually is less that 10 milliseconds. witch status, failure LED, & RF level bar graphs are mounted on the front panel of the switch module. witching threshold: +/- 3 db or +/- 6 db, & alarm contact closures are located on the rear of module. Features: ontinuous monitoring of primary & secondary Detects both high & low power failures User-selectable switching threshold: +/- 3 db or +/- 6 db Fail-over switching time < 10 ms utomatic switchback after path is restored Front-panel LED status & dual power level displays larm contact for remote failure monitoring vailable in BN & F-connector configurations ingle or dual modules Easily configured for redundancy or -B switch applications Front panel bar graph display provides indication of RF power & switching threshold Indication of switch status provided by front panel LED & rear terminal block contacts Easily configured switching threshold levels via rear DIP switch One-step calibration uto switch-back feature to primary input Built-in delay to prevent from false switching utomatic or manual modes of operation NEB Level 3 compliant Dual RF witch Page 12 of 14

13 ctives Reverse Path mplifier Modules The Return Path mplifier was designed specifically to solve problems particular to your environment. Providing greater density, unparalleled cable management, greater functionality & redundant powering, the return path amplifier is part of the system approach to integrating all signal management functions in a common format & modular system. To mount modules in ignalon chassis use these amplifiers in conjunction with N--BRKT-R (mounts 1 or 2 amps) see page 14. Features: Fixed 22 db Low distortion characteristics Low noise figure MHz bandwidth Two 20 db monitor ports (input & output) BN or F connectors or D powering Power redundancy (optional) Reverse Path mplifier Page 13 of 14
