Package
The gateway is shipped fully assembled. It does not require removal of the covers for any purpose in
installation.
3.3
AC Power Requirements
The power supply is designed for universal AC application. If the available AC mains power at the
installation site requires a different cord set from the one included in the package, then a suitable and
approved cord set (for the country where the equipment is to be installed) will be required before
proceeding with the installation.
Prime Power: 100 to 240VAC, 50 to 60 Hz Auto Sensing
Wattage: Base unit: less than 40 watts; Base unit with BUC Power: less than 200 Watts.
CAUTION
Before applying power to the gateway initially, disconnect the transmit output from the
operating ground station equipment. If the current configuration settings are unknown
when power is applied, incorrect settings could disrupt existing communications traffic.
3.4 Installation
Considerations
The only tools required for rack installation are four (4) customer-supplied rack installation screws and the
appropriate screwdriver. Rack installation brackets are an integral part of the front bezel of the gateway
and are not removable.
