3. GENERAL INFORMATION 

 

 

This manual contains information that describes installation, operation and maintenance procedures 
for the 500 W Kx-Band hub-mount (outdoor) Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA), model AWMA-
Kx500-BTE. Because specialized training is required for some phases of installation and operation, 
certain parts of this manual are directed only to trained personnel. Warnings appear at the 
appropriate points to caution all users of potential RF and high-voltage hazards. 
 
For a safe and versatile operation, please read the information carefully BEFORE using the 
equipment.
