This chapter describes how to install the sat-nms LBRX beacon receiver. You find a guide how to connect,
configure and mechanically mount the receiver below.
Before you start, please first read the
chapter below. It contains some important
recommendations to prevent damage from the receiver.
Then, we strongly recommend to do a first setup of the receiver on a lab desk before installing it at it's final
location. This is mainly for this reason:
The receiver may be configured to inject a 14/18V power supply voltage at it's RF input. If you plan to
connect the receiver to a signal source which is not able to accept this D/C voltage, you must ensure that the
voltage is switched off before you connect the receiver to that signal source.
Hence, the typical sequence of tasks when putting an sat-nms LBRX beacon receiver into operation is as
follows:
setting
3.
the receiver
4.
to it's signal source, the power supply and the controlling computer
Failure to observe all Warnings and Cautions may result in personnel injury and/or equipment damage not
covered by the warranty.
Follow standard Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) procedures when handling an Power Sensor Unit.
Select and apply the appropriate 24V D/C voltage according to the data sheet and documentation
before connecting power.
Before you connect the L-Band Beacon Receiver to an L-Band distributor or LNC , please make sure
that the unit to which you connect can handle 18V D/C voltage on its RF L-Band output. Some L-
Band IF distribution equipment does not have D/C blocks included and the unit could be damaged. If
you are not sure how the interfacing equipment will behave, switch off the LNC supply voltage as
described in chapter
before you connect a cable to the L-Band input of
the beacon receiver.
The L-Band Beacon Receiver can be damaged if the total RF input power is higher than +10dBm
specified maximum value. Do not connect the RF input of the L-band Beacon Receiver to interfaces
where the total output power is higher than the specified value of the data sheet or indicated on the
Receiver.
In case of a failure do not open the L-Band Beacon Receiver, you will loose warranty, call SatService
GmbH for an RMA number.
Observe normal safety precautions when operating, servicing, and troubleshooting this equipment.
Take standard safety precautions with hand and/or power tools.
When connecting the receiver's fault relay circuits, observe the maximum ratings: 120V D/C, 100mA.
The fault circuits are Photo MOS semiconductor relays which will immediately damaged when
connected to higher voltages than specified.
