5. Quick reference to instalaltion and use
This chapter is intended to summarize the necessary points for the installation of the
device. In case any of the arguments is unclear, for example when you use the
combiner for the first time, we suggest to carefully read the whole manual.
5.1
Preparation
Unpack the HC5-10 and before any other operation check the unit for any shipping
damage; in particular, check that all the controls and connectors on the front and rear
panels are in good conditions.
Inside the HC5-10 are inclusive:
•
Nr. 1 5-way RF splitter;
•
Nr. 1 5-way RF combiner;
•
Service electronic circuits that control the entire system composed of HC5-10
with Nr. 5 2kW amplifiers connected (for example PJ2000M-C);
•
Connection cables for the RF input signals of each amplifier;
•
Connection cables for the RF output signals of each amplifier;
•
Connection cables for the signals that exchange the HC5-10 combiner and the
PJ2000M-C amplifier. In the case the cable is not in good conditions or doesn't
come connected, the combined system is not able to manage the various
parameters interconnected correctly. This condition involves a high probability to
create permanent damages to the load of HC5-10.
If it is necessary, check the integrity and the value of the fuse inside the voltage changer
block; the required fuse type is:
•
Aux Fuse
10A
•
Mains fuse
10A
Connect the RF output cable of the exciter to the N-type input of the splitting section
of the combiner. Connect five cables between the output N connectors of the splitting
section of the combiner and the RF input of five suitable amplifiers. Connect five
cables between the RF output of the amplifiers and the input connectors of the
combining section of the coupler.
Connect the RF output cable of the exciter to the input connector (N type) of the
splitter section of the combiner. Connect each of the five outputs (N type) of the splitter
section with the RF input of the relative power amplifier. Connect the outputs of the
amplifiers (type 7/ 8") to the inputs of the combiner joining section (type 7/ 16").
