    PERSONNEL WORKING ON RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT’, also Sub-clauses 3.2, 3.7 and 22.1 of the Standard. To prevent the risk of personal injury or loss related to equipment malfunction Advantech Wireless uses the following symbols for safety related information. For your own safety, please read the information carefully BEFORE operating the equipment.
  • Page 8 The maximum permissible levels of exposure are quite low in comparison to the power levels produced by the equipment built by Advantech Wireless (e.g. less than 10 mW versus 4 to 700 W delivered by the different units). The maximum permissible levels are currently being studied by a number of organizations.

    SSPBMg-C200-BRE 2.2.2 U ONVERTER SSEMBLY The L-Band signal arriving from a modem enters the Up-Converter Assembly through a ‘N-type’ connector, see Figure 3: Connectors (page 15). The L-Band signal (950 MHz to 1525 MHz) enters the high gain Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and Medium Power Amplifier (MPA) stages that boost the RF power level sufficient for the transmission through the Up- Converter Assembly.

    SSPBMg-C200-BRE 3. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION This Section contains instructions for the site preparation, unpacking and the installation of an SSPB. 3.1 INITIAL INSPECTION Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the container or cushioning material is damaged, immediately contact the carrier that delivered the equipment and submit a damage report. Failure to do so could invalidate all future claims.
  • Page 19: Electrical Connections

    The centre pins of the connectors used by Advantech Wireless have a precision tolerance measured in mils (1/1000 inch). The mating connectors of the various suppliers may not be of precision types.
  • Page 20: Cooling Considerations

    SSPBMg-C200-BRE 3.3.4 C OOLING ONSIDERATIONS The SSPB is forced-air cooled. The cooling fans are configured for 12 V DC operation, supplied by the main power supply of the unit. Depending on environmental conditions, the airflow opening may become obstructed by debris, reducing the efficiency of the cooling system. NOTE: The cooling fans rotation speed is temperature dependent.
  • Page 21: Interfaces

    SSPBMg-C200-BRE 4. INTERFACES 4.1 SYSTEM CONTROL CONNECTOR (RS-485 RS-232) The System Control interface connector is located at port (RS232 RS485) of the SSPB. This is a 10-pin MS3112E12-10P (male) connector with pin assignments as shown in TABLE 7 below. Both RS-485 and RS-232 serial interfaces are for the serial interface communication link, allowing for the external monitoring and control of the SSPB.
  • Page 22: Redundant Interface

    SSPBMg-C200-BRE 4.2 REDUNDANT INTERFACE NOTE: This connector is not installed on these units and consequently this interface is not available. The Redundant Interface connections are made with a 10-pin circular connector mounted on the SSPB enclosure. The connector type is listed in TABLE 5 at page 16 and the location is shown in Figure 3 at page 15.

    SSPBMg-C200-BRE 5. PRE POWER AND CHECKOUT This Section contains the pre-power and checkout procedure for the SSPB model SSPBMg-C200-BRE. WARNING! The information presented in this Section is addressed to the technicians who have specific training in, and knowledge of the Microwave Power Transmitters. Inappropriate use of an SSPB may cause serious injury to the operator or damage to the equipment.
  • Page 24: Maintenance

    SSPBMg-C200-BRE 6. MAINTENANCE This Section describes the scheduled maintenance procedure for the SSPB. CAUTION! Improper maintenance of the SSPB may void the warranty. 6.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE This product requires minimum maintenance, which consists of visual inspection and cleaning. WARNING! Personnel performing maintenance on this system must have the proper training and become thoroughly familiar with the related safety requirements and issues.
