2.0 Safety and Preparation for Use
Page 3
Verify that the connector from your DC power supply has the pin configuration mentioned
on page 2. Do not apply AC voltage to the DC power connector. Failure to follow these
directions may cause injury or death to personnel, cause irreparable damage to the
instrument and voids all warranties.
If you provide DC power to your unit, detaching the DC power cord is the only option of
disconnecting the unit from the DC mains supply. Make sure you have access to the rear
panel or provide an external accessible DC disconnect means for your FS-100RM-5.
Please note that the power return (pin 4) is NOT connected to the instrument case ground
internally, however both ground connections (pin 4 and pin 6) are available at the DC
power connector and may be connected together at this point.
2.2 Instrument safety and preparation for use
Input RF Signals
The 5 MHz input signal level must be greater than +10 dBm, otherwise the multiplier will
not function properly and noise performance may be seriously degraded. The multiplier is
not a linear device therefore the output power does not vary linearly with input power. The
absolute maximum specifications should be observed to obtain the optimum performance
and ensure reliability.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Input RF Power +20 dBm Maximum
Reverse RF Power +20 dBm Maximum
DC Voltage @ RF Input 20 VDC Maximum
DC Current @ RF Input 100 mA Maximum
DC Voltage @ RF Output 50 VDC Maximum
Storage Temperature -10 to +75 ºC
Operation Environment 0 to +50 ºC
Humidity 5% to 95% Non-condensing
