Installation SFC1800A Synthesized Frequency Upconverter
2-2 TM111 - Rev. 1.0
2.1 Unpacking
The SFC1800A Upconverter was carefully packaged to avoid damage and should arrive
complete with the following items for proper installation:
SFC1800A Upconverter Unit
Power Cord, 6 foot with applicable AC Connector (for North America)
Installation and Operation Manual
2.2 Removal and Assembly
The unit is shipped fully assembled. It does not require removal of the covers for any purpose in
installation.
Carefully unpack the unit and ensure that all of the above items are in the carton. If available AC
mains power available at the installation site requires a different cordset form the one included in
the package, then a suitable and approved cordset (for the country where the equipment is to be
installed) will be required before proceeding with the installation.
Should the Power Cable/AC Connector be of the wrong type for the installation, either the cable
or the power connector end should be replaced. The power supply itself is designed for universal
AC application. See specifications for the appropriate voltages and currents.
2.3 Mounting Considerations
When mounted in an equipment rack, adequate ventilation must be provided. The ambient
temperature in the rack should be between 10
°C and 35°C, and held constant for best equipment
operation. The air available to the rack should be clean and relatively dry.
2.4 Initial Power-Up
Turn the unit ‘ON’ by placing the rear panel switch (above the power entry connector) to the ‘ON’
position. Upon initial and subsequent power-ups, the SFC1800A Upconverter will test itself and
several of its components before beginning its main Monitor & Control Program. The Event
Buffer LED will illuminate and the unit will log setup events upon power-up. This allows the user
to tell if there was an accidental power failure or if the power was manually cycled for any reason
while the unit was left unattended. These events can be cleared after setup. If any failure is
detected, an Alarm LED will illuminate.
