A #10-32 stud is provided at the location shown in Figure 2-1 for connecting a
common chassis ground among equipment.






2.3 Installation of the TRP500

As shown in Figure 1-2, several holes are available for mounting the TRP500, both on each side
as well as on the (bottom/flat) surface. Contact Comtech if factory furnished mounting kits are
desired.

To allow for proper cooling of the TRP500, please keep any mounting obstructions least 4 inches
away from the cooling fans and the side vents.

2.4 Powering on the TRP500

WARNING

Never turn the unit ON without proper waveguide termination on the J2 “RF
OUTPUT” port. Individuals can be exposed to dangerously high electromagnetic
levels.

The TRP500 does not contain a ‘Power On/Off’ switch. The SSPA is powered ON by connecting
the J3 AC Power connector to the appropriate prime power source. The Mute or Transmit status of
the SSPA will automatically come up in the last stored state (factory default = Transmit on, not
muted).
