1. SAFETY

To prevent the risk of injury to personnel or loss related to equipment malfunction, ADVANTECH

uses the following symbols throughout this document to indicate safety-related information.

For your own safety, read the following carefully BEFORE operating this equipment!

---------------------------------------------------- WARNING --------------------------------------------

When supplying power to this equipment, verify that the power cable (not supplied) has the correct

pin assignment as given by TABLE 10 at page 28. Connect the cable to a properly grounded 3-pin

power outlet. Also connect a ground strap between the station’s ground bus and the ground screw

on the vertical rack. If power is supplied without grounding the equipment, there is a risk of

receiving a severe or fatal electric shock. In the context of this document any voltage that is lethal

is viewed as ‘High Voltage’. The prime power potential of 180-264 VAC applied to the

equipment is known to cause injury or death.

--------------------------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------------

The operator cannot repair this equipment. DO NOT attempt to remove the transmitter

cover or disassemble the internal components.Only qualified service technicians should

service the transmitter. There are high-voltage parts within the unit, which present a risk of severe

injury to the untrained personnel. In addition, there is a risk of damaging the delicate components.

--------------------------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------------

ALWAYS TERMINATE THE RF OUTPUT WAVEGUIDE PORT OF THE

TRANSMITTER WITH A RF LOAD CAPABLE OF DISSIPATING FULL CW RF

POWER. ALSO, TERMINATE THE IF INPUT CONNECTOR TO AVOID THE

POSSIBILITY OF THE UNIT BEING DRIVEN BY STRAY LEAKAGE SIGNALS.

WARNING:

This indicates a hazardous procedure that may result in serious injury or death

if not performed properly.CAUTION: This indicates a hazardous procedure that may result in light-to-

severe

injury or loss related to equipment malfunction, if proper precautions are not taken.

SSBP-3000C

Page 7

Incorporate the terminations prior to applying prime power to the transmitter. This procedure

prevents self-oscillation and irradiation from and into the local environment. If the IF input of the

transmitter is not connected to a RF source, the unit may go into a self-induced mode and generate

high levels of RF energy. Destruction caused by an excessive load voltage standing wave ratio

(VSWR) will void the warranty.

--------------------------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------------

DO NOT LOOK INTO THE RF OUTPUT PORT OF THE POWERED TRANSMITTER!

Handle the unit with extreme care. Although the levels of microwave radiation do not induce

immediate physical discomfort in most individuals, the levels may be sufficiently high to induce

long-term effects. The eyes are the most vulnerable parts of the body.

The maximum permissible levels of RF exposure are quite low compared to the power levels

emitted by the transmitters built by Advantech (e.g. less than 10 mW versus 10 to 500 W for the

units). The maximum permissible levels are currently being studied by a number of organisations.

In the past, the U.S. Safety Code established a dosage rate of 10 mW/cm2. Currently, consideration

is being given to reduce the permissible level to 1 mW/cm2in the United States, as has been the

case for several European countries.

---------------------------------------------------- CAUTION --------------------------------------------

---

THE TRANSMITTER UNIT IS HEAVY! TWO INDIVIDUALS OR A LIFTING DEVICE

MUST BE USED TO LIFT AND MOVE THE UNIT. There is a risk of back injury, if carried

or lifted by a single person.

In addition to this Section, included by reference are the following pertinent sections of the

International Standard IEC-215, ‘Safety requirements for radio transmitting equipment’:

Appendix D, ‘GUIDANCE ON ASSESSING THE COMPETENCE OF PERSONNEL FOR

DESIGNATION AS SKILLED’ and also Sub-clause 3.1 of the Standard.

Appendix E, ‘GUIDANCE ON SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BY PERSONNEL

WORKING ON RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT’ and also Sub-clauses 3.2, 3.7 and 22.1

of the Standard.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The ARMU-LC200-BRN , part of the SSPB-3000C family, is a 200-Watt L-Band to C-Band Solid

State Up-Converter (SSPB) designed for satellite up-link communication systems. The SSPB is an

indoor unit conceived for mounting into a standard 19-inch rack. The RF output should be

connected to an antenna using a waveguide system. The product outline of the unit is shown in

Figure 1 at page 9.

Built-in monitor and control features indicate the current status of the SSPB unit and provide fault

detection and protection when operating outside normal operating conditions. The SSPB also

allows the user access to the monitor and control functions by using the Relay (Discrete) Interface,

or the RS-232 and the RS-485 Serial Interfaces.

The SSPB unit can be combined with another unit to form a 1:1 redundant system (see Figure 4 at

page 21). A redundancy kit is available as an option to build a 1:1 redundant system.

2.2 ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual contains information that describes the installation, operation and maintenance

procedures for the 200-Watt C-Band rack-mount SSPB Up-Converter. Warnings appear at the

appropriate points to caution all users of the potential RF and high-voltage hazards.

For a safe and versatile operation, please read carefully all of the information provided by this

manual BEFORE using this equipment!

ADVANTECH Advanced Microwave Technologies, Inc. has prepared this manual for use as a

guide for the proper installation, operation and maintenance of the ADVANTECH Solid State

High Power Up-Converters. The drawings, specifications and information contained herein

are the property of ADVANTECH Advanced Microwave Technologies, Inc. Unauthorised use or

disclosure of these drawings, specifications and information is strictly prohibited. These

documents shall not be reproduced, copied or used in whole or in part as the basis for

manufacturing or sale of the equipment or software programs without the prior written consent
