Power system
The SATCOM6 can be fitted with up to two power supplies, this consists of either one or two main power supplies and up to one LNA
power supply; dependent on the required configuration, see section 3, Table 1. If two main power supplies are fitted they will run as
main and redundant
. The main and redundant power supplies are OR’d by high efficiency MOSFET switches, only one actively
supplies current, changeover between power supplies is automatic. The configuration of your system will be detailed in the order
specific handbook that your SATCOM6 is delivered with.
3.4.1
Power supplies
Power supplies can be fitted as either main power supplies or LNA power supplies. The main power supplies available are:
HPS-6
Mains Power Supply, 90-264VAC i/p, 50W, +12V output
HPS-7
DC Power Supply, 9.2-18VDC i/p, 25W, +12V output
HPS-8
DC Power Supply, 19-36VDC i/p, 25W, +12V output
HPS-9
DC Power Supply, 36-72VDC i/p, 25W, +12V output
The LNA power supply can be used to provide power directly to a connected LNA or BUC, either via the fitted EDGE transmitter
modules or via bias tee modules fitted within the enclosure. LNA power supply modules available are:
HPS-6
Mains Power Supply, 90-264VAC i/p, 50W, +12V output
HPS-6-15
Mains Power Supply, 90-264VAC i/p, 50W, +15V output
HPS-6-24
Mains Power Supply, 90-264VAC i/p, 50W, +24V output
HPS-6-48
Mains Power Supply, 90-264VAC i/p, 50W, +48V output
HPS-7
DC Power Supply, 9.2-18VDC i/p, 25W, +12V output
HPS-7-24
DC Power Supply, 9.2-18VDC i/p, 25W, +24V output
HPS-8
DC Power Supply, 19-36VDC i/p, 25W, +12V output
HPS-8-24
DC Power Supply, 19-36VDC i/p, 25W, +24V output
HPS-9
DC Power Supply, 36-72VDC i/p, 25W, +12V output
HPS-9-24
DC Power Supply, 36-72VDC i/p, 25W, +24V output
Note: Power supply output voltage can be trimmed to match specific applications, other options are also available. Contact

Power Requirements
Ensure that the power supplies fitted in your system are sufficient to power the complete system. The power supplies are designed to
operate in dual redundancy, without current sharing. Hence power capability of one supply must be sufficient to power the complete
chassis.
The details below maybe used to approximate the power output requirements from the main power supplies.
EDGE Transmitter
2.0 W typical per slot, excluding LNA/LNB power
EDGE DWDM Transmitter
3.2 W / 4.0W / 6.0 typical per slot at 25/50/60°C
EDGE Receiver
1.5 W typical
EDGE Amplifier
2.4W typical
EDGE Serial Digital
0.7W typical
Fix wires to appropriate
screw terminals
