This manual provides instructions on the installation, operation and maintenance of the
XSAT-7080, 5 to 25, 50, and 100 Watt Model X-Band Transceiver, manufactured by
Comtech EF Data, Tempe, Arizona.
1.2 Functional Description
The XSAT70870 is designed for use in communication systems, or in satellite up-link
data systems, for the reception of SCPC/MCPC, DAMA, and TDMA communication
signals. It can also be used in communications system applications with full transponder
HDTV and analog TV.
The converter is environmentally sealed and is designed to be hard mounted on or near
the antenna structure. A covered cooling fan is mounted on the outside of the unit to
maintain a reduced operating temperature for enhanced reliability.

This voltage is capable of damaging any test equipment connected to the
connector. Do not connect test equipment to this connector without a coaxial DC
block between the connector and the test equipment.
