LNB Power and Control
The IRD provides LNB power and control signals through the active RF
input connector. LNB power and controls are enabled through the Satellite
Input Menu, see Annex C, Menus.
The IRD supports voltage controlled LNBs only. The LNB power circuit
provides automatic protection against short circuits in the LNB or its cable.
When the short circuit has been removed recovery is automatic.
Switchable boost of the LNB voltage to allow for losses in long cables and
control of 22 kHz tone insertion are provided. The LNB power
characteristics are as per Table B.12.
