Redundant LVPS Upgrade

The NV20LT/NV15LT is factory configured with a single LVPS module. You can upgrade your transmitter 
with up to three additional modules (LVPS 1B, 2A and 2B), for a total of up to four, which act in parallel 
with the existing LVPS (1A) to improve the reliability of the transmitter.

1.

Obtain “QG12005* - NVLT Redundant LVPS Quick Guide” (see 

Figure 2.3.3

) that was provided 

with the Dual LVPS Upgrade Kit and complete its outline procedure.

Figure 2.3.3: Redundant LVPS Quick Guide (QG12005*)

2.

If you are performing this upgrade in conjunction with the NV20LT/NV15LT’s initial installation, 
leave the front panel off to allow further installation. If you are performing this upgrade after initial 
installation has already been completed, re-install the front panel.
