Power
Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting
power are independent to each other. Device power requires
AC power 100-240V 50-60Hz. Please carefully check before
running.
2.2.3 Grounding Requirement
Coaxial cables outer conductor and isolation layer should keep proper electric conducting
with the metal housing of device.
Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency
impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
Users should make sure the 2 ends of grounding wire are well conducted and be antirust.
It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no less
than 25mm2.
2.2.4 Frame Grounding
All the machine frames should be connected with protective copper strip. The grounding wire
should be as short as possible and avoid circling. The area of the conduction between
grounding wire and grounding strip should be no less than 25mm2.
2.2.5 Device Grounding
Connecting the device’s grounding rod to frame’s grounding pole with copper wire.
2.3 Wire’s Connection
Connecting Power Cord
User can insert one end into power supply socket, while insert the other end to AC power.
Connecting Grounding Wire

12
H-IRD-V3
Tel: [phone] Email: [email protected] http://www.thorbroadcast.com
When the device solely connects to protective ground, it should adopt independent way,
say, share the same ground with other devices. When the device adopts united way, the
grounding resistance should be smaller than 1Ω.
Caution:
Before connecting power cord to H-IRD-V3, set the power switch to “OFF”.
2.4 Signal Cable Connection
The signal connections include the connection of input signal cable and the connection of
output signal cable. The details are as follows:
