2-3

2 Installation

1. Insert dowel pins in mounting holes 7 & 8 to align waveguide with the mounting

surface.

2. Insert #10 screws into mounting holes 1 and 6. Hand tighten.

3. Tighten screws 1 through 6 to three inch-pounds of torque.

4. Remove dowel pins and insert #10 screws into holes 7 & 8. Tighten to three

inch-pounds of torque.

5. Tighten screws 1 through 8, in sequence, to 32 inch-pounds of torque for #10-32

screws and 23 inch-pounds for #10-24 screws.

Input Sample Port

The Input Sample Port connector is located on the far left of the front panel. It is a
type N female connector.

Output Sample Port

The Output Sample Port connector is located next to the Input Sample Port connec-
tor on the front panel. It is a type N female connector.

Monitor and Control Connections

Serial Connector (J3)

The serial connector is the female 9 pin D connector located on the rear panel. A
description of the socket functions is given in Section 3.

Interface Connector (J4)

The interface connector is the female 15 pin D connector located on the rear panel.
It is used for redundant configurations to connect the two amplifiers together. Only
factory supplied cables should be attached to this port.

Parallel Connector (J5)

The parallel connector is the female 37 pin D connector located on the rear panel. A
description of the pin functions is given in Section 3.

Switch Connector (J6)

The switch connector is the 6 pin circular connector located on the rear panel. When
properly configured, it allows the HPAC-100/125/150/200/250-RM to control an
external switch for auxiliary switching or redundancy.
