Installation

1.  Mount MPC-12C chassis onto a MOR-* steel equipment rack. Fasten the MPC-12C chassis with rack screws in the  

 

bottom mounting holes first then insert them into the top mounting holes.  

2.  Insert MPCMA or MPCM45 or any other compatible mini-modulator into the chassis.

3.  Mount the MPC-16PS/CS by placing it on top of the MPC-12C chassis.   

 

Secure the unit to the rack with four rack screws.

4.  Connect each of the 3-wire cables to the 3-pin connector at the rear of the modulator.  Caution:  When connect- 

 

ing the 3-wire cables align the connector with the guide tab on the 3-pin connector.  Also, be careful not to bend  

 

the modulator 3-pin connector.

5.  Connect the RF output of each modulator to each of the MPC-16PS/CS combiner inputs.  For best isolation 

 

connect each modulator in order i.e., modulator 1 to port 1, modulator 2 to port 2, modulator 3 to port 3, etc.

6.  Turn on the MPC-16PS/CS and verify that the blowers and side cooling fans are operating and the modulator power  

 

lights or channel displays are lit.
