Preliminary
INSTALLATION
Location and Mounting
Install the TRACER in a location that requires minimal antenna feedline length (the loss in this cable
directly affects overall system performance). The BBP is designed to be mounted in a rack, above the
RFC. Although no space is needed between the units, certain regulations may require at least .75" of
space above and below the BBP.
Power Requirements
The TRACER can operate from a supply between 21 and 60 volts DC, with either polarity referenced to
ground, and consumes 30 watts. Amperage is determined by dividing the wattage (30) by the input
voltage (i.e., 30 watts/48 volts = .625 amps),
Grounding
The following grounding instructions are derived from the Underwriters’ Laboratory UL 1459 Standard
for Safety: Telephone Equipment dated September 20, 1993.
An equipment grounding conductor that is no smaller in size than the ungrounded branch-circuit supply
conductors is to be installed as part of the circuit that supplies the product or system. Bare, covered, or
insulated grounding conductors are acceptable. Individually covered or insulated equipment grounding
conductors shall have a continuous outer finish that is either green, or green with one or more yellow
stripes. The equipment grounding conductor is to be connected to ground at the service equipment.
The attachment-plug receptacles in the vicinity of the product or system are all to be of a grounding type,
and the equipment grounding conductors serving these receptacles are to be connected to earth ground
at the service equipment.
A supplementary equipment grounding conductor shall be installed between the product or system and
ground that is in addition to the equipment grounding conductor in the power supply cord.
The supplementary equipment grounding conductor shall not be smaller in size than the undergrounded
branch-circuit supply conductors. The supplementary equipment grounding conductor shall be
connected to the product at the terminal provided, and shall be connected to ground in a manner that
will retain the ground connection when the product is unplugged from the receptacle. The connection to
ground of the supplementary equipment grounding conductor shall be in compliance with the rules for
terminating bonding jumpers at Part K or Article 250 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Termination of the supplementary equipment grounding conductor is permitted to be made to building
steel, to a metal electrical raceway system, or to any grounded item that is permanently and reliably
connected to the electrical service equipment ground.
Bare, covered, or insulated grounding conductors are acceptable. A covered or insulated grounding
conductor shall have a continuous outer finish that is either green, or green with one or more yellow
stripes.
The supplemental equipment grounding terminals are located on the rear of the BBP adjacent to the
power connectors and on the rear of the rackmounted RFC.
