dc / aisg |

| For hardwired versions, DC/AISG can be fully connected (DC all) or a specific connection can be orderd (DC custom). For DC autosense versions, the DC/AISG path is automatically selected. In bottom of the tower applications (combiner mode), each RF channel port is sequentially checked for the presence of DC voltage. If more than one port has voltage, the port that has the highest (programmed) priority is passed to the common port. If a short circuit is detected on the common port DC/AISG is disabled. In top-of-tower applications (splitter mode), DC/AISG is passed to all ports that do not present a short circuit. If a short circuit is detected, the shorted RF port will be disabled for DC/AISG while other RF ports remain connected. |
