DESCRIPTION OF INTERFACES

Description of Interfaces

The BAQ-UP™ system (the system) has three compartments: the amplifier compartment, the power supply compartment,

and the RF switch compartment.

Power Supply Compartment:

Rear:

24 VAC Input

24 VDC Input

Front:

Green LED: 24V power on

Description: Both the 24 VAC and the 24 VDC can be connected at the same time to their designated terminal strips. A diode

"OR circuit" is located internally to select the source with the highest voltage. This allows you to provide redundant power to

this device by simultaneously connecting the 110 VAC / 24 VAC supplied transformer to the AC terminals when you also have

connected a 24 VDC source to the DC terminals. The green LED on the front indicates proper power supply operation.

RF Amplifier Compartment:

Rear:

Input (located immediately to the right of the AC/DC terminal block)

Output (located at the extreme right of the chassis)

Front: (with cover removed):

Input Test Point

Output Test Point

Gain Control

Slope Control

Input Pad (used to optimize the input to the amplifier)

Description: This is referred to as the secondary amplifier because your existing amplifier is referred to as the primary

amplifier. This internal amplifier has a low-noise front-end and is comparable in signal quality to any primary amplifier.

RF Switch Compartment:

Rear:

Main Signal Input (located immediately left of AC/DC terminal block)

Output to Primary Amp

Output to Secondary Amp

Input from Primary Amp

Input from Secondary Amp

Main Output (on extreme left side facing back of chassis)

Description: If you are connecting this amp/switch as a redundant amp for your existing amplifier, then move the input

from your existing amplifier to the main signal input connector for this device. Connect a cable from the "Out to Primary"

connector to the input of your existing amplifier. Move the output of your existing amplifier to the "In from Primary" connector.

Connect a cable from "Out to Secondary" to the secondary amplifier input located immediately to the right of the 24 VDC / 24

VAC terminal connectors. Connect another cable from "In from Secondary" to the secondary amplifier output located to the

extreme right of the chassis as you are facing the rear of the chassis.
