Functions
SU performs the following functions:
- switching signals from the LNB;
- supply power to the LNB;
- monitor and control of the switching LNB from the front panel or through remote monitor and control interface RS-485 from a remote personal computer of the Customer;
- monitoring and display current status
Monitoring and display current status:
- presence of electrical input 220 VAC, 50 Hz (displayed as the LED lights on the front panel);
- status (position) of the connected LNB (displayed yellow LEDs on the front panel).
