NX5 PRE-INSTALLATION MANUAL

DESCRIPTION

PAGE 1.1.4

VERSION 0.1  2015-08-01

Key-Controlled Access System

For additional safety, the NX5 can be configured to use a key-controlled access system. This system uses 
an ac disconnect switch, antenna ground switch and a key system to prevent unsafe access to the NX5 
until ac power is properly disconnected, and the antenna connection is grounded.

Spares

A kit of spare parts is available that contains fuses, ferrite toroids, semiconductors, low voltage power 
supplies, backup battery, cooling fan, air filter and other items. Additional spare parts and assemblies 
may be purchased individually including RF power modules, fan tray assemblies and PWB assemblies.
