Installation 

 

 

2.0 INTRODUCTION 

This section defines the installation require-
ments by which the Integrated L-Band Up/Dn 
Converter will meet the published 
specifications. 
 

2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION 

Remove the unit from its shipping container 
and inspect for any damage sustained during 
shipment. Save the packing material for 
reshipment back to the factory or to another 
site. Report any damage to the shipping 
forwarder in accordance with required 
procedures. 
 

2.2 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS 

The LT-3000 is designed for mounting in a 
standard EIA 19-inch rack. The unit must be 
supported on the sides and space must be 
allowed at the side of the unit to permit the 
flow of cooling air. The unit should be installed 
in an environment that is within the environ-
mental envelope described in Table 1-1. 
Primary power must be made available that is 
within the specified limits. 
 

2.3 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 

The mechanical configuration of the unit is 
shown in Figure 2-1. It is equipped with 
threaded inserts on either side for the installa-
tion of slides. Slides are not provided with the 
unit. The front panel is equipped with slots to 
accommodate user-supplied retaining screws.

MOUNTING THE UNIT BY ONLY THE 
FRONT PANEL WILL CAUSE EXTENSIVE 
DAMAGE. 

 

2.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 

All electrical connections are made to the rear 
panel of the unit. The following describes the 
rear panel connectors and its interface 

requirements. The chassis ground is a #10-32 
lug on the back panel. 
 

2.4.1 Power Input 

This connector is an IEC 320-C14 male and 
will accept any compatible mating connector. 
The power cord supplied as standard with the 
unit is equipped with a NEMA 5-15P male 
plug at the opposite end and is compatible with 
most 115 VAC supplies. The unit is manufact-
ured with a Universal Input Power supply that 
will accept voltages in the range of 115 to 230 
VAC.

2.4.3 Tx IF Input (J2) 

This connector is a BNC female. The male 
mate (not supplied) should be compatible with 
the 75-ohm coax used to connect to the system. 
 

2.4.4 Rx IF Output (J3) 

This connector is a BNC female. The male 
mate (not supplied) should be compatible with 
the 75-ohm coax used to connect to the system. 
 

2.4.5 Rx L-Band Input (J4) 

This connector is an F-Connector female. The 
male mate (not supplied) should be compatible 
with the 75-ohm coax used to connect to the
