1.0 Scope
This manual contains the installation instructions for a C-Band High Power Outdoor
PowerMAX System, in configurations of 4-module, 8-module and 16 module arrays.
1.1 Inspection and Unpacking
When the system is received, an initial inspection should be completed. First, ensure
that the shipping containers are not damaged. If any damage is discovered, have a
representative of the shipping company present when the container is opened.
Perform a visual inspection of the equipment to make sure that all items on the packing
list are enclosed. If any damage has occurred or if items are missing, contact:

1.2 Installation Conventions
The High Power Outdoor PowerMAX system was shipped from the factory as intact as
possible. The following conventions should be observed when preparing to install your
system.
1.2.1 Uni-Strut Frames
The uni-strut frame assembly is typically broken down to a 4-module configuration;
thus, a 4-module system uni-strut frame will ship intact, while an 8-module system will
ship as two 4-module uni-strut frames. Uni-strut segments used to tie together multiple
4-module uni-strut frames may be secured to one of the 4-module frames.
Before beginning installation, the user should inspect the uni-strut frame and ensure
that all hardware used to connect uni-strut to uni-strut is fastened securely.
1.2.2 Solid State Power Amplifier Modules
SSPA modules are typically packaged individually in boxes, which are subsequently
packaged in wooden shipping crates. An identification label is affixed to each SSPA
module. When it comes time to install the SSPA modules, match this label with the la-
bel on the uni-strut frame, and install the module into that position in the frame.
