Integration and important Operating instructions
The XU100 is designed for operation up to 120Wrms (DVB signal) with very high linearity; this
design uses 6th generation family LDMOS devices that are capable of very high peak power as long
as the average power does not exceed specified ratings.
The power devices are protected by an internal circuit, for Overdrive and high Mismatch load.
However is mandatory to handle with care the Input level during the "precorrection operations" due
to possible very fast and high spikes coming from the source.
The XU100 has an internal Power Supply.

When the XU100 in installed in a 19 Inch std Rack is reccomended to leave a right space on the rear
zone to facilitate the exhausted air extraction. It's suggested to leave one free unit (1 HE) at the top
of the XU
The XU100 is equipped with an RF Monitor Output available by a SMA connector where is possible
to test the performances when the it's on duty. The RF Monitor Output is normally > -40 dB referred
to the main output in order to have a right signal managed by std Instrumentation. The logic control
unit, designed specifically for this product line, accepts all necessary interfaces in every environment
(TCP/IP, SNMP and RS485) for maximum flexibility. The XU100 is equipped with an RS485 on the
front panel to manage and control an external DVB-T Modulator.
The XU100 is delivered in cartoon box packaging. Use all professional caution during unpacking,
handling and mounting.
Please ask to RES-INGENIUM factory for any integration questions.
