2.1
Installation Requirements
The STS11 and STS11L Solid-State Transfer Switches are designed for installation in
any convenient location (with the included brackets). They stand one rack unit (1RU)
high (1.75 inches/4.45 cm) vertically, 4.4 inches (11.18 cm) wide, and 3.4 inches (8.63
cm) deep.
There are no user-serviceable parts or configuration settings
located inside any Solid-State Transfer Switch Chassis.
There is a potential shock hazard internally at the power
supply module. DO NOT open the Solid-State Transfer
Switch Chassis under any circumstances.
Before initially applying power to the unit, it is a good idea to
disconnect the transmit output from the operating ground
station equipment. This is especially true if the current Solid-
State Transfer Switch configuration settings are unknown,
where incorrect settings could disrupt existing
communications traffic.
