Initial Hook Up
1. Ensure that the antenna has been swept and has a return loss of greater than 20dB (VSWR = 1.2:1).
This should be done before connecting the antenna cable to the transmitter output.
2. Place the transmitter/translator in its permanent location near a receptacle supplying required AC
voltage.
DO NOT APPLY AC POWER AND TURN ON POWER TO THE TRANSMITTER /
TRANSLATOR AT THIS TIME SINCE THE RF OUTPUT MUST BE PROPERLY
LOADED BEFORE OPERATION.
3. Place an appropriate AC power line protector, conditioner, and/or surge suppressor across the AC
supply line.
4. Hook up the modulator or processor as shown in their respective manuals for a transmitter or translator.
Do not
connect the modulated signal from the RF OUT on the modulator or processor to RF IN on the
power amplifier at this time. Because of the characteristics of LDMOS devices, the RF drive should not
be connected to the power amplifier until after the power supply and bias voltages are present and
stable.
5. Ensure that modulator or processor RF output level is turned down as far as possible.
6. Ensure that the audio modulation is set to 100% with the audio signal supplied, as described in the
appropriate modulator/processor manual (will be factory set).
7. Ensure that the video modulation level is set to 87.5% with the video signal supplied, as described in
the appropriate modulator/processor manual (will be factory set).
8. Install the DB9 cables from each power amplifier enclosure to the combiner/filter enclosure. It does
not matter which DB9 cable is used as they are both identical.
9. Install the RF cables between the power amplifiers and the combiner/filter enclosure. The cable labelled
PA1 goes between PA1 and the PA1 input on the combiner/filter enclosure and the cable labelled PA2
goes between PA2 and the PA2 input on the combiner/filter enclosure. These cables are phase
matched and must be hooked up on their respective power amplifiers.
10. There is no PSU external to PA’s.
11. Connect the transmitting antenna cable to the RF OUT N-type connector on the filter enclosure RF
output.
