  • Page 24: Dc Input Quick Connect Ports

    2.2.14 DC Input Quick Connect Ports Power to the 7RU SSPA Chassis is supplied by a separate power supply chassis (See Sec- tion 2.3). The power supply’s DC output is provided by cables permanently attached to the Power Supply that connect to the SSPA’s internal bus-bar via a series of quick-disconnect high current in-line connectors.

  • Page 25: Redundant Power Supply Chassis

    2.3 Redundant Power Supply Chassis A separate power supply chassis is used to provide redundancy of the power supply to the 7RU SSPA chassis. The power supply is configured with a parallel set of modules. All of the modules are active and share the load current supplied to the amplifier. The power supply module current capacity is chosen such that at least one extra module is included over the amplifier’s current requirement.

  • Page 26: Dc Output Connection

    2.3.1.2 DC Output Connection The DC output is provided by eight (8) sets of cables attached to the Power Supply DC output buss bars that connect to the SSPA via a series of quick-disconnect high current in-line connectors. Connect the mating DC output cable quick-disconnect connectors to the positive and negative power connecters at the rear of the chassis.

    When this option is activated, the SSPA will automatically reserve 5 dB of attenuator range for future gain compensation. This will reduce the maximum SSPA gain by 5 dB. The attenua- tor range will also be reduced to 15 dB. Five dB of reserved attenuator range allows the system to fully auto compensate gain when one SSPA module in a single 5RU SSPA unit enters a fault condition.

Figure 7-1: Remote Control Interface Stack The parallel port on SSPA unit provides a simple form of remote control. There are 10 “dry” Form-C relay contacts for remote monitoring and six (6) galvanic isolated inputs for remote control commands.

  • Page 96: Table 7-1: Interfaces Enabled Based On Chosen Interface Setting Selection

    If using a Terminal mode protocol, the SSPA provides remote menu access through a Hyper- Terminal program or through an actual hardware terminal. The Ethernet interface is fixed to the 10Base-T standard. Normally, straight-through CAT5 ca- ble is used to connect the SSPA to a network hub, and crossover CAT5 is used to connect directly to a computer’s Ethernet port.
