Energizing the RF Equipment

If the waveguide is not terminated correctly, it transmits dangerous levels of

electromagnetic radiation. THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY. Before you energize or operate

any SSPA waveguide unit, make sure to correctly terminate the waveguide on the

‘J2 | RF OUT’ port.

The LPOD Outdoor Amplifiers / Block Up Converters (BUCs) and the SPOD Outdoor

Amplifiers do not have Power On/Off switches. Use the ’J3 | POWER IN’ connector

to energize the system.

CLC-10 –to– SSPA Initial Operation

The properly connected and configured CLC-10 initiates communication with the SSPA serial

interface upon power-up of the unit. Proceed to Sect. 2.6 for an overview on the configuration

and operation of the CLC-10 and its features. Chapter 3. SERIAL-BASED M&C USING THE CLC-10

provides complete information on using the CLC-10 for serial remote monitor and control of the

SSPA.
