Warnings and Cautions

Warning SHOCK HAZARD. Only qualified, service-trained personnel who are aware of the hazards involved should install, configure, or remove the RF multiplexers. Remove all power sources from the mainframe and installed modules before installing or removing a module.

Warning CHANNEL WIRING INSULATION. All channels that have a common connection must be insulated so that the user is protected from electrical shock in the event that two or more channels are connected together. This means wiring for all channels must be insulated as though each channel carries the voltage of the highest voltage channel.

Caution MAXIMUM VOLTAGE/CURRENT. Maximum voltage between any RF multiplexer center conductor or shield to any other center conductor, shield, or chassis ground is 42 Vdc or 42 Vac peak. Maximum current per channel or common is 1 A dc or

1 A ac RMS. Maximum switching power is 24 W or 24 VA per channel or common. Maximum power per resistive termination is 1 W or 1 VA. Exceeding any limit may damage the module.
