Applying Power To The BUC  

 

CAUTION

 

1.  Care should be exercised in cable installation. Install the cables using 

the most direct route and secure with clamps and ties. Avoid all sharp 
bends. Replacement of the cables can be the result. 

2.  If the ODU voltage is not correct, DO NOT connect the TX-IF Cable to 

the modem or damage may result. Contact Comtech EF Data Customer 
Service department. 

3.  Ensure TX and RX L-Band cables are not connected. After the modem is 

checked out, then configure to operate with the ODU. 

4.  Initially, set LNB and BUC current wide enough to avoid false reports 

during installation. Readjust the limit at a later time. 

5.  For FSK operation with an FSK capable BUC see the Chapters 6 and 16. 

Complete steps 13 through 29 prior to continuing. 

 

 
 
The conditions for the BUC to function are: 
 

 

Proper TX L-Band power to the BUC from modem. 

 

Sufficient and correct DC power at the BUC  

 

10 MHz reference supplied to the BUC   

 

Note:

 Manufacturer recommends a 5-minute warm-up period at initial turn on for the 

BUC to ensure proper performance. This can be accomplished by performing steps 15 
through 18, prior to initiating the power start-up.
