Overview, Digital ODU HPAs
Physical Characteristics
Refer to Appendix titled
Mechanical Drawings
for the Physical
Characteristic Specifications of your amplifier.
The Xicom ODUs are air cooled where the outside cooling air does
not pass through the microwave tube and power supply enclosure.
The tube and power supply are conduction cooled. They are
mounted on a thick, finned aluminum plate. A fan pushes outside
air through the fins keeping moist cooling air separate from the tube
and power supply.
Environmental Characteristics
Table 1, Environmental Specifications, lists the typical amplifier
environmental specifications.
Refer to the appendix titled
Specifications
for the environmental
specifications unique to your amplifier.
The amplifier is designed to operate in rain and snow. However, in
high snow load conditions it is advisable to provide a snow shroud
to prevent a buildup of snow at the air inlet causing a blockage that
will reduce air flow.
