As a new feature, sat-nms IO-FEP2 provides the possibility to monitor current and voltage for up to 6 LNAs/LNBs. Connected LNAs/LNBs are supplied by one or two power supplies connected to CON40. Supply voltage has to be in range of +15...+24VDC. Maximum current is 600mA per LNA/LNB. To protect your external equipment, each output will separately be disabled upon a current above 1A. Monitoring of these interfaces is deactivated in standard delivery state. It can easily be enabled by entering the corresponding feature code. See chapter Feature codes activation for further information. Call SatService GmbH sales team for purchasing a feature code. Nevertheless, over-current and short circuit protection is active even without activating above mentioned monitoring option! Additionally +24V EXT and corresponding GND EXT is provided at pin 7 and 8 of these connectors. Maximum current at these interfaces is 300mA each. Take care not to connect a LNA/LNB here if you have a 15V Type, it might be damaged!
It is possible to connect 2 independent power supplies to increase availability of connected LNAs/LNBs. If you do use only one power supply for connected LNAs/LNBs, it is up to you whether to supply at Pin 1/2 or Pin3/4 of CON40. A green LED below CON40 displays if LNA/LNB supply voltage is connected to CON40.
