Model 7400 HD/SD and Model 9400 3G/HD/SD Sync Pulse Generator and Test Signal Generator
Installation
Plug the 7400 or 9400 module into any one of the slots in the 3RU frame. In a 1RU frame, 7400 and
9400 modules can be installed in slots 1 or 2, and not in slot 3. Install the plastic overlay provided
onto the corresponding group of rear BNC connectors associated with the module location. Note that
the plastic overlay has an optional adhesive backing for securing it to the frame. Use of the adhesive
backing is only necessary if you would like the location to be permanent and is not recommended
if you need to change module locations. This module may be hot-swapped (inserted or removed)
without powering down or disturbing performance of the other modules in the system.
7400-GPS Option Field Installation Procedure
The 7400-GPS Option seamlessly integrates into the Avenue system by plugging directly onto a 7400
or 9400 module. It can be easily installed in the field. The 7400-GPS Option consists of a compact,
weatherproof antenna (with internal high-gain pre-amp) and a receiver submodule which mounts
directly to the 7400 or 9400 module. The included GPS antenna mounts onto standard 3/4” threaded
pipe, metal or plastic. Connection from the F-style coaxial fitting on the antenna to the appropriate
BNC on the Avenue Frame can be made with customer supplied standard 75 ohm cable. The coax
cable can be routed through the center of the pipe for a completely waterproof installation. When low
loss cable such as Belden 1694A is used, the antenna can be placed up to 200 feet (60 meters) from the
frame. Ideally, the antenna is mounted outdoors where it has an unobstructed view of the sky.
If you order the 7400-GPS Option and Model 7400 or 9400 at the same time, we will install the
7400-GPS Option on to the main module at the factory. If you order the 7400-GPS Option and already
have Model 7400 or 9400, you will receive the following kit.
