Unpacking and Installation, Rack SSPA
mounting brackets (9 inches long) are supplied. See appendix titled
Mechanical Drawings
for specific mounting instructions pertaining to
your amplifier.
Waveguide Connection
Caution
Do not overtighten the waveguide mounting screws.
Overtightening may strip the threads in the waveguide
flange. Failure to comply could result in equipment
damage.
Achtung
Ziehen Sie die Halteschrauben des Hohlleiters nicht
zu fest an. Zu festes Anziehen kann das Gewinde am
Flansch des Hohlleiters beschädigen. Nichtbeachtung
dieses Hinweises kann zu Schäden am Gerät führen.
The RF input waveguide (where applicable) is located on the front
panel of the amplifier and RF output waveguide port is located on
the rear panel of the amplifier. Ensure that the proper matching
waveguide flange is used to connect the amplifier input and output
to the RF load.
Refer to Figure 1 , Typical 4 Screw Mounting Flange Tightening
Sequence or Figure 2 , Typical 8 Screw Mounting Flange Tightening
Sequence, for the proper tightening sequence on the flange types
installed on your amplifier.
Caution
When not connected to the external waveguide
system or a terminated load, waveguide flanges
should be covered with a protective cap or tape that
does not leave glue residue when removed. Xicom
recommends the use of Kapton® tape, 3M Brand,
#92, Xicom P/N 602-0001-001. Remove tape or cap
prior to final installation. Failure to comply could result
in contamination to the internal waveguide system or
TWT and equipment damage.
