58502A Broadband Distribution Amplifier at a Glance

NOTE	See Chapter 3, “Features and Functions,” for a detailed discussion of
	the items described below.

1When the Power indicator lights, it indicates that the proper input power is supplied to the 58502A.

2When the Alarm indicator lights, it indicates that operation is no longer normal. One or more outputs are at fault, or input signals are absent at both inputs A and B.

3When the Input A or B indicator lights, it indicates that an input signal is present at input A or B.

4When any of the OUTPUT STATUS

1-12indicators light, it indicates the associated output is functioning.

5AC Input power jack.

6 RS232 serial interface port allows you to remotely control and monitor the 58502A. Its communication language is SCPI. The connector is a DTE configuration DE-9P (male).

7 ALARM/STATUS port is a DE-9P (male) connector. This port allows you to receive an alarm or input an alarm.

8 OUTPUTS 1-1250Ω BNC output signal ports.

9INPUTS A and B 50Ω BNC ports allow two input signal connections to the 58502A. The internal circuitry selects one of these signals for distribution.
