2.0 OPERATION

 

 

2.1 General 

Information

 

 

This section provides information for operating the AM-SAT-50. 

 

 

WARNING

 

 

Electromagnetic radiation from the antenna can damage eyes and other body tissue 

when the system is transmitting.  DO NOT stand directly in front of the antenna or 

in close proximity to the sides or back of the antenna when transmitting.

 

 

 

2.2 

Controls, Indicators, and Connectors

 

 

The AM-SAT-50 does not require user interaction once installed, inspected, and 

powered on. However, there are several helpful status indicators on the Amplifier's front 
panel. All of the controls, indicators, and connectors are located on the end panels of the 
Amplifier and Bias Tee as shown in Figure 2-1.  The functions of these are specified in 
Table 2-1.
