The HPDA-100RM-C is a high performance distribution and isolation amplifier. It
contains 2 modules that provides ten unity gain outputs. Typical cross channel isolation
and reverse isolation is typically greater than 100 dB. The phase noise of the modules is
exceptionally low, typically –145 dBc/Hz @ Fourier frequency of 1 Hz and –173 dBc/Hz
@ Fourier frequency greater than 10 kHz. Both the input and output are matched to 50
ohms to obtain better than 20 dB return loss.

CAUTION!
Voltages capable of causing injury or death are present in this instrument. Use
extreme caution whenever the instrument cover is removed.
Line Voltage
This instrument has been setup to operate on 100 to 120 VAC and a line
frequency of 50 to 60 Hz. The unit can be converted to operate on a line voltage
of 220 to 240 VAC. For this option please contact SDI.
Fuse
A 0.25 Ampere 250V slow-blow fuse is used for 100 to 120 VAC operation.
Only replace fuses with the same type and specifications.
Line Cord
The instrument has a detachable, three wire power cord for connection to a
grounded power source. The enclosure of the unit is directly connected to the
outlet ground to protect against electrical shock. Always use an outlet with a
protective ground and do not disable this safety mechanism.
Service
Do not attempt to service or adjust the instrument unless another person,
capable of providing first aid or resuscitation, is present. Contact SDI for any
questions or repairs.
Operation
To operate the unit, locate the AC power entry connector on the rear panel and
connect the power cable. When power is applied to the unit, a red led located on
the front panel, labeled “on”, should light up.

AC Power LED
The LED is on when AC power is applied to unit and the unit is operating properly.
DC Power LED
The LED is on when DC power is applied to unit and the unit is operating properly.
Monitor LED
The LED will turn on if the input signal to the corresponding module is greater
than +7 dBm.

AC POWER ENTRY MODULE
The HPDA-100RM-C is configured to operate on 100 to 120 VAC.
DC POWER ENTRY CONNECTOR
Optional Battery Backup Connector for +24 VDC Backup power source
SMA INPUTS
There is one SMA input. The signal to be distributed should be connected to the
SMA jack labeled input. This input will drive the two amplifier modules, each
module provides five outputs.
SMA OUTPUTS
There are ten SMA outputs, any output may be used to drive the input of another
distribution module.

Description
The battery backup module allows the HPDA-100RM-C instrument to be powered by a
24 VDC power source in case of loss of the main AC power. The switch from AC to DC
supply operation is effected by a schottky diode network and charge storage capacitors
to ensure glitch free operation. The +24 VDC power source connector is located on the
back panel of the instrument. The +24 VDC ground is not connected to the instrument
case ground internally, however both ground connections are available at the DC power
connector and may be connected together at this point.
DC Voltage
The + 24 VDC may be used as backup power to prevent loss of signal during power
outages. The DC power supply should be able to provide 24VDC at 2A. For optimum
performance the following specifications should be used for the power supply.
DC Supply 24 VDC, 2 A
Line regulation +/- 0.05% for a 10% line change
Load regulation +/- 0.05% for a 50% load change
Output ripple < 5mV peak to peak
DC Fuse 2A Slow blow
Fuse
A 2.0 Ampere 250V slow-blow fuse is used for +24 VDC operation.
Replace fuses with the same type and specifications.
Service
Do not attempt to service or adjust the instrument unless another person, capable of
providing first aid or resuscitation, is present. Contact SDI for any questions or repairs.
Operation
To operate the unit, locate the AC power entry connector on the rear panel and connect
the power cable. When power is applied to the unit, a red led located on the front panel,
labeled “on”, should light up. Connection of the +24 VDC supply is optional. If the +24
VDC supply is connected a red led on the front panel labeled DC Power connector will
turn on.

WARNING! DO NOT APPLY AC VOLTAGE TO THIS UNIT THROUGH THE 6 PIN
CONNECTOR ON THE REAR OF THE UNIT! Failure to follow these directions will
cause injury or death to personnel, cause irreparable damage to the instrument
and void all warranties.
WARNING! DO NOT REVERSE THE POLARITY OF THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE!
Reversing the polarity of the power supply will cause damage to the unit and void
all warranties.
WARNING! The chassis of the instrument is internally connected to DC ground.
The front +24VDC connector is wired as follows:
Pin 1 +V (Internal supply voltage for monitoring purpose do not use !)
Pin 2 GND (Internal supply voltage for monitoring purpose do not use !)
Pin 3 -V (Internal supply voltage for monitoring purpose do not use !)
Pin 4 24VDC GND return
Pin 5 +24VDC power
Pin 6 Chassis GND /Earth GND

This unit is designed to operate only with a 100 to 120 VAC power source.
For conversion to a different voltage of operation contact SDI. To operate the unit,
locate the power entry module on the rear of the enclosure and connect the power cord.
Plug the unit into an appropriate power outlet. A red LED on the front panel labeled
“POWER” will turn on. Attach the signal to be distributed to one of the SMA input
connectors on the front panel. Any HPDA-100 output may be used to drive the input of
another distribution module.
