5.) Set the gain to get an output level in the 0 to -20 dBm range (See Section 2.5 Menu Settings).
6.) (option -L) To power the LNB (+24 VDC, 0.5 amps, max.) from the 2017-03A install a
1 amp 1/4” fuse in F1.
CAUTION!!! INSTALLING A FUSE IN F1 PUTS +24 VDC, 0.5 AMP POWER ON THE CENTER PIN
AND MAY DAMAGE EQUIPMENT IF IMPROPERLY CONNECTED TO EQUIPMENT THAT
CANNOT HANDLE THIS VOLTAGE OR HAS A DC PATH TO GROUND.
7.) Be sure DS6 (green, DC Power) is on and DS2 (red, Alarm) is off (Figure 2.2).
8.) AC Fuse - The fuse is a 5 mm X 20 mm, 2 amp slow blow (Type T) and is inserted in the far slot
